Things to do in Vancouver, Canada: The Best Monuments & Statues
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!
