Mayor Gregor Robertson says it's great to hear that Vancouver remains in the top two places in North America for movie makers to live and work.
Movie Maker Magazine puts Vancouver behind only Atlanta in its latest annual ratings, saying the city's "neo-Hollywood reputation" is well earned.
Robertson says the city's reputation as an international hub for film and television has grown in recent years and the industry now hosts over 400 productions and provides about 19,000 jobs per year.
City officials add it's important to recognize that the award also belongs to all of the municipalities in the region, from Port Moody to Surrey and Squamish, which support the film industry.
