1. Vancouver was a key point in the CPR's worldwide transportation system because of its location. Vancouver is right on the water, particularly Burrard Inlet. This inlet was home (and still is) to a very productive port. Goods were able to be shipped across Canada into Vancouver and then loaded onto cargo ships and transported throughout the rest of the world. The CPR affected the development of Burrard Inlet greatly. It made it a very popular place. It was the center of worldwide trade and transportation. People moved to Vancouver. It became a very industrielle and profitable city thanks to the CPR.
