Signs You Grew Up In Vancouver In The '90s

26 Signs You Grew Up In Vancouver In The '90s
Andree Lau

The '90s in Vancouver were a heady time, when two of the city's biggest events were sponsored by (gasp) tobacco and beer companies. When you could pet animals and gaze at polar bears at the Stanley Park Zoo. When Science World didn't belong to Telus, and GM Place didn't belong to Rogers.

So if you cheered β€” and wept β€” over getting this close to the Stanley Cup, and got the bulk of your sex education from Rhona Raskin on Z95.3, then take a trip down memory lane with us.

Here are 26 signs that you grew up in Vancouver in the '90s:
