Vancouver would be great for a person with your sorts of interests.
It's the greenest city I have ever been to, with two huge chunks of forest right in the middle of town, semi-frequent garbage strikes and therefore coyotes, crows and all sorts of other urban wildlife, and a range of plant life that can not live anytwhere else in the country. People grow palms and dwarf bananas in the city.
Unfortunately, it's also got some of the highest priced housing in Canada, and some festering social problems that could match that of more than a few American cities, in seriousness if not in magnitude.
