About 672 Area Code:
Area code 672 is one of the newer area codes in Canada, serving the westernmost province of British Columbia. Vancouver, the largest city within the 672 area code, is renowned for its stunning natural beauty, nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Coastal Mountain Range. The city is a melting pot of cultures.
The economy is equally diverse, encompassing industries such as technology, film and television production, tourism, and natural resources. The tech sector, in particular, has seen substantial growth, with Vancouver emerging as a hub for startups and established companies alike, often dubbed as "Silicon Valley North." Beyond the urban centers, the 672 area code region encompasses picturesque communities that offer a slower pace of life compared to the bustling city. Places like Whistler, a world-renowned ski resort town, and the serene Fraser Valley, known for its vineyards and agricultural heritage, offer a stark contrast to Vancouver’s urban vibrancy.
