Canada Place and a visiting cruise ship (left)

Canada Place is a building situated on the Burrard Inlet waterfront of Vancouver, British Columbia. It is the home of the Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre, the Pan Pacific Hotel, and an IMAX 3D theatre, the first in the world. It is also the main cruise ship terminal, where most of Vancouver's famous cruises to Alaska originate. It was constructed for Expo 86 as the pavilion for Canada. It was the only venue for the fair that was not at the main site on the north shore of False Creek. It could be reached by taking a ride on the SkyTrain rapid transit system at its Waterfront Station subway terminus. The striking white sails of the building has made it a prominent landmark for the city, as well as drawing comparisons to the Sydney Opera House in Sydney, Australia.
