Hi, Susan,
Re your query about Vancouver. We do not have counties in the same sense
as the US, and some other Canadian provinces, e.g. Ontario. We have a
number of different districts for different purposes, e.g. Land
Districts, for land title registration. Our counties are for judicial
purposes. For government purposes, Vancouver is the next step below
British Columbia. The Greater Vancouver Regional District is more of a
voluntary organization including Vancouver city and the adjacent cities
in the Lower Mainland to coordinate planning and services within the
metropolitan area.
I hope this helps.
