This former center of sawmilling and slaughterhouses was transformed, in the 1970s, into an enclave of theaters, restaurants, shops and artists' studios. The island's centerpiece is a The Granville Island Public Market, a colorful, covered bazaar that spills over with local fruits of land and sea. Granville's governing body reckons that 71 percent of its estimated 12 million annual visitors come from beyond British Columbia.
