[3] The small number of local movements is because float training and circuits are discouraged in the busy Vancouver Harbour.
The major floatplane operators are Harbour Air and Seair Seaplanes.

Helicopter activity is also extensive in Vancouver Harbour with the floating Vancouver Harbour Heliport located on the waterfront, east of the control tower.
Aviation activity in Vancouver Harbour also includes many overflying aircraft.
