Go West and stay away from the East is the best advice for snow haters in Canada!
Vancouver is on the ocean. The ocean has a moderating effect on cold temperatures so cities right on the coast will tend to have warmer weather than they would otherwise. ...Vancouver is more temperate. It's warmer in winter and colder in summer than most other places in Canada.

Temperatures
The average annual temperature in Vancouver is 11.0 °C (51.8 °F) downtown and 10.4 °C (50.7 °F) at YVR airport in
Richmond. This is one of the warmest in Canada. Greater Vancouver is in
USDA plant hardiness zone 8,
[1] similar to other coastal or near-coastal cities such as
Seattle,
Portland,
Amsterdam, and
London, as well as places such as
Atlanta, Georgia and
Raleigh, North Carolina, far to the south. The mild climate sustains plants such as the
Windmill Palm. Vancouver's
growing season averages 221 days, from March 29 until November 5. This is 72 days longer than
Toronto's, and longer than any other major urban centre in Canada.

Despite normally mild winters due to the onshore air flow over the North Pacific Current, occasional cold arctic outflows (sinking cold continental air that flows down through the
Fraser Valley coastward) in winter can sometimes last a week or more. These arctic outflows occur on average one to three times per winter. The coldest month on record at
Vancouver International Airport was January 1950 when an arctic air inflow moved in from the Fraser Valley and remained locked over the city, with an average low of −9.7 °C (15 °F) and an average high of only −2.9 °C (27 °F), making for a daily average of −6.3 °C (20.7 °F), 10 °C (18 °F) colder than normal. The coldest temperature ever recorded in the city was −18.3 °C (−1 °F) on December 29, 1968.
[3] The coldest temperature across Metro Vancouver, however, is −23.3 °C (−10 °F) recorded on January 23, 1969.

With snow being an infrequent occurrence over a typically mild winter, many cold hardy flowers remain in bloom and are common in gardens and office exteriors throughout the winter. The arrival of spring is often first noticed in February with slightly milder temperatures and the return of flowering perennials. It's also not uncommon for cherry blossoms to begin blooming later in the month, as was seen prominently during the 2010 Winter Olympics.
The Greater Vancouver region is also subject to significant variations in summer temperatures, which can differ by as much as 5–10 °C (9–18 °F) between inland areas of the Fraser Valley and the ocean-tempered coastal regions when localized on-shore breezes are in effect. Conversely, winter temperatures tend to be cooler inland by a couple of degrees.
