Point Grey, British Columbia

The City of Point Grey and the University Endowment Lands, colloquially known just as Point Grey, is a municipality in North Fraser County, British Columbia, bordering the cities of Vancouver and Kerrisdale to the east and the Georgia Strait to the west. The municipality is the location of the main campus of the University of British Columbia (UBC), which is the mainstay of its economy: almost 25% of residents are university students or faculty, and a significant portion of the city's workforce is employed by the university or corporations and organizations providing services to the university. Point Grey has a permanent population of over 105,000, which includes university students living on-campus or in Point Grey's off-campus student housing. Its daytime population, however, regularly exceeds 400,000, which includes students living off-campus in Vancouver or other Metro Vancouver cities and commuting university faculty and employees and commuting employees of other Point Grey businesses; the University of British Columbia alone has over 155,000 enrolled students, and it is not the only post-secondary educational institution in the city.
