The Greater Vancouver Classic was a golf tournament that was held in the Greater Vancouver area, in British Columbia, Canada. Founded as the BC TEL Pacific Open in 1994, it was a direct replacement for the cancelled British Columbia Open on the Canadian Tour. In 2000 it was re-titled as the Telus Vancouver Open.

For 2002, the tournament had agreed a new multi-year sponsorship deal with a lawn car company and was to have been titled the Perfectly Natural Classic, but they backed out resulting in a great deal of discussion over a new unsponsored name. Having considered Greater Vancouver Open and Vancouver Open, which risked confusion with the PGA Tour event,^[1] eventually it was changed to Greater Vancouver Classic, and from 2006 the Greater Vancouver Charity Classic. In 2009, the name changed again, this time to the City of Surrey Invitational; it was to be the final time the tournament was held.
