One Vancouver

One Vancouver is an initiative to strengthen ties with people in our lives, creating long lasting business relationships, forging stronger social networks and extending a welcome hand to visitors to our city.

Comprising a growing number of partners and projects from business, tourism, government and education, One Vancouver's goal is to distribute 25,000 .TEL names in Greater Vancouver before 2010 and create a community that is better connected, easy to reach and available for business in a mobile world.

What's your .TEL?

A Single Point of Contact

A .TEL is an easy to remember name like smith.tel or webnames.tel to which an individual or company can add all their contact information.

It creates a single point of contact which is easily recalled and helps people and businesses connect, whether by phone, email, fax or instant message. A .TEL directs people to targeted information such as a web site or blog and helps provides a central hub for general information such as opening times and prices, and includes new technologies such as, Twitter. Built in geo-location services make it easy to map any destination and even get directions.
