ABOUT US
LOCATION
Gastown Business College is located in historic Gastown, the heart of Downtown Vancouver.
Designated a National Historic Site in 2009, Gastown is probably best known for its famous steam clock – just up the street from GBC. However, Gastown is so much more than its steam clock. In fact, the publication Complex named Gastown the 4th most stylish neighborhood in the world in 2012. Gastown offers inspiring architecture, memorable places to eat and drink, trendy boutique fashion shops, a burgeoning tech sector, a plethora of coffee options, and the most charming cobblestone street in all of downtown Vancouver.
