What time do you arrive and depart? Where are you arriving from, and departing to? What airlines are you flying?

...now that that is out of the way

I would take the Canada Line Skytrain from YVR to the Waterfront Station (25 minute journey), then make your way to Canada Place (look for the 'sails'). Walk around Canada Place - You'll get some nice views of the city and the harbour...

...then get back on the train and head back to YVR.

A standard response on FT is 'skip downtown and head to a Chinese Mall in the suburb of Richmond' but I'd advise against that. I just don't get the appeal of a big Chinese Mall.
