interesting communities in BritishColumbi?

Hi

I'll be in vancouver in the end of october for a few weeks,
and i would like to know if there is an interesting communties
in the are i can visit?
(it's a kind of business trip:& , and i'll have no too much time to travel ,
so i'm looking for something that close enough to vancouver
in order to visit in weekends, etc..)
thanks a lot
