INDIAN TOTEM POLES The Totem was the British Columbia Indians's coat of arms. Totem poles are unique to the north west coast of BC and lower Alaska. They were carved from western red cedar and each carving tells of a real or mythical event. They were not idols nor were they worshipped. Each carving on each pole has a meaning. The eagle represents the kingdom of the air. The whale the lordship of the sea. The wolf, the genius of the land, and the frog, the transitional link between land and sea. Better viewed large

The clock was built to cover a steam grate that was part of Vancouver’s distributed steam-heating system. The clock was built as a way to harness the steam and to prevent street people from sleeping on the spot in cold weather. A plant adjacent to the Georgia Viaduct generates the low-pressure steam that powers a miniature steam engine in the base of the clock, which drives a chain lift that moves steel balls upward, where they are unloaded and roll to a descending chain. The weight of the balls on the descending chain drives a conventional pendulum clock escapement, geared to the hands on the four faces. The steam also powers the clock’s sound production, which uses whistles to to signal the time and produce the Westminster chime. Each 1/4 hour the clock sounds the chimes on 5 brass steam whistlers. 1 pip on the wall!

Vancouver House was designed by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels. The design is based on a triangle that rises from the ground and gradually transitions into a rectangle as it ascends to the top.

From a ranch near Minburn, Alberta, to the Calgary Stampede to the New York Stock Exchange - Outlaw set a new high standard for legendary bucking bulls and now lives on immortalized in bronze in downtown Calgary. One of the greatest animals to ever perform at the Calgary Stampede, the Brahma-longhorn known as Outlaw. The most notorious and respected bull of the Calgary Stampede has an impressive career record: Outlaw was successfully ridden only once for 8 seconds.
