A local-minded guide to the region
Explore Metro Vancouver is a photography-led discovery guide to Metro Vancouver and the Sea to Sky, from the harbour and Fraser estuary to Squamish and Whistler.
It's built for visitors and locals who want a short, trustworthy list: places to see, things to do, tables worth booking, stays, shops and date-driven events.


Jeevin Bains
Founder & Editor
Jeevin Bains is the founder and sole developer behind Explore Metro Vancouver, responsible for engineering and developing the platform from the ground up.
Having grown up in Greater Vancouver, Jeevin developed a deep appreciation for the beauty, diversity, and experiences the region has to offer. That appreciation — combined with his passion for local tourism, photography, and bringing people together — inspired him to create Explore Metro Vancouver as a way to showcase the region to both visitors and local residents.
Jeevin also operates Fast Site Solutions, a local web and software development business. He is passionate about creating thoughtful digital solutions that help businesses move forward and turn ideas into practical, engaging online experiences.
Outside of his work, Jeevin enjoys staying active, being involved in his church community, and adventuring around the region with friends. He particularly enjoys discovering new places and experiences, photographing local scenery and landmarks, and continuing to explore the communities that make the region unique.
If you’re interested in working with Jeevin on a future web or software project, he enjoys collaborating on new ideas and would love the opportunity to help bring your vision to life.
