thanks to pamela and Jenny we now know what YVR stands for!!!
heres the explanation.

"When it comes to Canadian airports, for instance, the codes begin with a Y.

It's not that we were far down on the list, it's just that at the time, Y wasn't much used in codes worldwide, so Canadian aviation authorities chose it as a basis for creating uniform and distinctive nationwide codes.

Toronto is YYZ. Montreal Dorval is YUL. Vancouver is YVR, and Ottawa gets to be YOW. YOW! Ottawa International Airport from the sky. "
