Capilano (North Vancouver)

Capilano is a community in British Columbia, Canada. Located on the Burrard Inlet's North Shore, North of Vancouver, it comprises Upper and Lower Capilano within the District of North Vancouver. As its 'western gateway', located at the edge of the Pacific Temperate Rainforest, Upper Capilano is home to the forest's namesake Capilano Suspension Bridge, the region's largest tourist attraction, while urban Lower Capilano along Marine Drive connects the rest of the North Shore to Vancouver to the South via the Lions Gate Bridge.

Represented along with its Eastern neighbour as North Vancouver-Capilano for federal purposes and Western neighbour as West Vancouver-Capilano at the provincial level, it is primarily composed of low density single family residential (RS), but contains a small amount of low density multi-family residential (RM) along arterial roads.
