A bit of history - Canada Place is the Government of Canada's landmark investment in British Columbia and has become the focal point for BC's thriving tourist and international trade sectors and a meeting place for all Canadians. Canada Place world-class reputation was established as the site for the Canada Pavilion at Expo 86, acknowledged as one of the best-ever host-nation pavilions at a world exposition. Wholly funded by the Government of Canada, the Canada Pavilion was converted into the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre in 1987 and was then officially turned over to the Province of British Columbia as a lasting legacy for the Canadian people.
We walked around Vancouver for over an hour and half to find somewhere for dinner (a Shan and Anne special - we can never decide where to eat). Shan was convinced that there had to be restaurants here - as it was overlooking the waterfront! But alas no food here. We ended up getting pizza - a 30 second walk from our hotel. i kid you not.
