Canada Place

Canada Place is an iconic Vancouver landmark jutting out into Burrard Inlet and accessible via West Waterfront Road. This city point of interest is immediately striking, its white sail-like roof dominant on the Vancouver Harbour.

Five 90-foot white sails, made of Teflon-coated fibreglass, crown Canada Place lording over the Vancouver waterfront. These features become even more impressive when illuminated as Canada Place Sails of Light every evening from dusk to dawn, with seasonal vibrant colours.

Canada Place was built in 1986 originally as the Canada Pavilion centrepiece for Expo 86, a world’s trade fair which celebrated Canada’s centennial that year, an event that stretched for almost six months and drew over 22 million visitors.

Canada Place, now owned and operated by the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, remains a crowd-drawer, with its various life and leisure attractions.
The Vancouver Convention Centre East, Pan Pacific Hotel, and World Trade Centre are all located in Canada Place. In addition, the Vancouver-Alaska cruises call Canada Place as their pleasure ships’ home port.

Within Canada Place, you can view a photo exhibit on a 450,000-square-metre gallery presenting Canada’s rich natural and cultural Heritage. The exhibit can be viewed on the observation deck on the upper promenade at the north side of Canada Place.

At Canada Place, you can also enjoy the ultimate flying ride of FlyOver Canada, which uses advanced technology to bring the experience of seeing some of the world’s most spectacular sceneries. Special effects—wind, mist and scents—are woven into the ride while you’re seated suspended on air and viewing spellbinding films of real-world wonders flashed on a 20-metre spherical screen.

The Canadian Trail is another exciting feature of Canada Place, stretching from east to west and north to south along its west promenade. This unique walk replicates an abbreviated journey across Canada, featuring 13 equal sections to present the charms of each of Canada’s 10 provinces and three territories.

After a walk, you can stroll to the neighbourhood of Gastown where there are great choices of Vancouver eateries and watering holes. Your picks here include Water Street Café, Five Sails Restaurant, Miku, Flying Whale Waterfront Café,· Oceans 999, ARC Restaurant and Bar, Coal Harbour Bar, and · Hydra Estiatorio.
