Vancouverites have a well-deserved reputation for being active and outdoorsy.

If you’d like to join them but don’t want to go it alone, have a look at the City of Vancouver’s Active Events Calendar.

It lists an entire year’s worth of outdoor events, from the annual New Year’s Day Polar Bear Swim in English Bay to the springtime Pacific Populaire Bike Ride (this year’s ride will be Sunday, April 4) to the Terry Fox Run, which takes place across Canada every September to raise funds for cancer research.

Walking tours, tennis tournaments, triathalons, beach soccer events, and runs short and long — if it can get you outdoors, it’s on the Active Events list.

And with the 2010 Winter Olympics coming to Vancouver in February, don’t you want to get active, too?
