One Canada Place is a distinctive structure built out into the harbor. There is a loop that allows people to walk and see many grand views of the Burrard Inlet, as well as parts of downtown Vancouver and the mountains beyond. There are historical signs that tell the history of Vancouver and the inlet along the walk. I will post only a few pictures - people visiting will have an opportunity to post different views.
From a tourist guide, Canada Place was built for the '86 Exposition held in Vancouver. The structure has curved sail-like structures on the top. It is a convention center for the city and has a movie theater located there.
Walking is pretty easy. There is a set of stairs for the second deck (about one story worth), but it appeared that there was plenty to walk around on the lower part. Input from visitors on this is welcome.
And the best part - the walkway is free!
