User:The Interior/Habitat Island

Habitat Island, also known as Beer Island, is a man-made island in False Creek, in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia. It was constructed as part of the Olympic Village development, a residential area first used as the athlete's quarters during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. The island lies approximately 20 meters off the southeast shore of False Creek, near the north end of Columbia Street, and is connected to the shore by a causeway.

"Beer Island"
The island has become a popular socializing spot, especially in the summer. Alcohol consumption is common, leading to the nickname "Beer Island". The Vancouver Police Department started patrolling the island and levying fines for public alcohol use (which is illegal in Canada), after noise and littering drew complaints from local residents in the summer of 2014.
