Re: Does Canada do 'quaint'?
I googled quaint towns in BC and this is what google has decided....
Victoria
Nelson
Fernie
I wouldn't take too much into what google thinks is quaint though, it brought up a lot of photos from the UK and Europe when using quaint towns in British Columbia.
I wouldn't call Squamish Quaint. (The mountain in the back currently does not look like the photo.)
But there are some nice post card moments not far from downtown

Re: Does Canada do 'quaint'?
Certainly not to the level of areas of the UK or other parts of Canada, however, this shot from Peachland waterfront back in July 2013, "may" quality as "slightly quaint" ?
Kind Regards.
Kind Regards.

This is nice
New Glasgow, NS. If there was a nice pub right there, this could be close.

Fort Langley, BC was definitely quaint in the British sort of way - but no village green.
