Iconic Landmark of Vancouver.
Canada Place is an iconic landmark on Waterfront Road in Vancouver. It is situated on the Burrard Inlet waterfront and is the home of the Vancouver Convention Centre, the Pan Pacific Vancouver Hotel, Vancouver’s World Trade Centre and the virtual flight ride show FlyOver Canada. It is also the cruise ship passenger terminal where the Alaska cruises originate. The building itself looks like a ship with huge white sails and is a prominent sight from the harbour.
A walk along the Waterfront Road was quite fascinating as we got to see the many activities in the harbour, near Canada Place, with the ships and boats moving in and out and a number of seaplanes taking off and landing. We walked from the transit hub, Waterfront Station, which is about half a kilometre away, down to the Bon Voyage Plaza of Canada Place and further up to the edge of Stanley Park.
At the corner of the Canada Place Bon Voyage Plaza we got to see a fascinating blue coloured steel sculpture called ‘The Drop’. It is supposed to signify a homage to the power of nature and represents the relationship and outlook towards the water that surrounds us.
