Inscription. Canada Place was the Canadian Pacific Railway's Pier B-C ocean liner terminal in the 1920s. In 1982, the Government of Canada redeveloped it as the Canadian Pavilion for The Expo '86 World Fair and dedicated it as a legacy for the Canadian people. Home to the cruise ship terminal, convention centre, a hotel and business centre, Canada Place with its iconic white sails is a defining image of the City of Vancouver.

Erected by Vancouver Heritage Foundation.
