The 10 Best Monuments & Statues in Vancouver, Canada
Vancouver was founded as “Gastown” by an Englishman with a penchant for beer and storytelling. Today Gastown is a historic section of the Canadian metropolis, and the lively pubs still reflect the area’s former status as a sort of community drinking center. The city’s forests, grand parks, and impressive suspension bridge beckon travelers to explore them, as do the city’s shops and museums. Relive the glory of the 2010 Winter Games with visits to Olympic venues and the marvelous Olympic Cauldron.

These larger-than-life sculptures gathered in a group make excellent photographic subjects: en mass or individually. When we were there there were several, like ourselves, testing angles or groups or catching the various shades of laughter. Well done Vancouver. A great celebration.

Whether it is my respect and appreciation for the ingenuity and talents of the Indigenous people who designed and built this, or the way it blends and enhances the natural setting in which it has been placed, I may never know; but it should be considered one of the hidden gems of Vancouver. Tourists may wonder about it's bona fides: inukshuks are directional devices, used in northern Canada for centuries as a sort of road map. This edifice was a gift to Vancouver as part of Expo 86, and became associated with the winter Olympics held here about ten years ago. And....great sunsets!

I did not know there was a place called Hadden Park even though I went to this park frequently, only later finding out t was so named. Most Vancouverites know of Vanier Park on Kits Point, manly because of the Space Centre & Vancouver Museum located on it. Hadden Park abuts it, & seems to have been overshadowed by Vanier Park. Hadden Park, named after Englishman, Harvey Hadden , who previously owned it before he donated it to the city, is a great place to view the ocean & mountains across the inlet, even now in the more rainy months. So how after all these years of being in this park called Hadden Park, did I get to know its name? My son, when visiting Vancouver, took an iphone picture of us playing in the park. When adding it to my collection of iPhone pics, the name popped up as its location. Being English, I am more used to the name being spelt Haddon but love generous philanthropists however they are named. Hadden Park gives lots of joy to strollers, runners & children alike. Thanks Harvey Hadden. Posted by S Fuller
