Peace Arch
The Peace Arch, dedicated in 1921, was the first such structure in the world. It was built on the International Boundary between Canada and the United States to commemorate the lasting peace between the two countries. The surrounding provincial park offers formal lawns and gardens, including a flower garden in the shape of the Canadian flag.

The Gastown Steam Clock
Although this clock has only been around since 1977 it has very quickly become a focal point in Vancouver, and certainly of the Gastown neighbourhood. Claimed to be the world's first steam powered clock, the steam comes from underground pipes that supply heat to many of the buildings in downtown Vancouver. The clock whistles every 15 minutes and the whistle is a replica of that from a famous B.C. lake steamer the "Naramata". While waiting for the whistle the interior workings of the clock can be observed through glass panels in the sides.
Address: Gastown Vancouver BC
