1. Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 88 reviews
The Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre is dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of the internment of over 22,000 Japanese Canadians during the Second World War. The Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre opened its doors in 1994 as an initiative from the New Denver Kyowakai Society to commemorate and honor the stories of over 22,000 Japanese Canadians who were stripped of their civil rights, labelled "enemy aliens" and uprooted from their coastal homes during the Second World War. Located on the site of a former internment camp, the original buildings, period artifacts, interpretive displays, and Heiwa Teien garden designed by the renowned Roy (Tomomichi) Sumi, chronicle this extraordinary episode in Canadian history.

This is a must stop at while travelling through New Denver or for anyone that would like to learn more about the internment of Japanese Canadians during WWII. This was my first exposure to this history outside of school and I am so glad I came here to start my learning. See the living spaces, artifacts and original structures to learn and honour the stores of the Japanese Canadians that were stripped of their rights. There is a cost but it’s well worth it, the staff were informative and lots of information signage to guide your learning. The grounds are beautifully maintained and the displays are true to life.

Not to be confused with the Mile 0 Cairn, the Mile Zero Post is located downtown Dawson Creek at 102 Avenue and 10 Street. It marks Mile "0 " on the Alaska Highway (1 block south of the Station Museum). The Mile Post was erected in 1946.

Reviewed By Wanderering1 - Lake Macquarie, Australia
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.

10. Ilanaaq Inukshuk

Reviewed By E492ZDchrisd - New Westminster, Canada
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!
