New ‘VANCOUVER’ sign installed on city’s downtown waterfront
Tourists and selfie-seekers once again have a unique, place-inspired backdrop for pictures in downtown Vancouver.
A new temporary sign bearing the city’s name has been installed near Canada Place.
The new sign spells out “VANCOUVER” in three-dimensional, capital letters coloured bright fushia at Granville Square Plaza, between Canada Place and Waterfront Station.
The sign will remain in place throughout the summer as a part of the Junction Public Market, an artisan market based out of shipping containers that runs until late September.
0:31 City councillor pitches idea for permanent Vancouver sign
Its installation comes after another temporary sign, installed between Canada Place and the Vancouver Convention Centre, proved to be a massive hit with visitors and residents alike.
That sign was removed after the winter.
Vancouver city council has voted in principle to install a new, permanent Vancouver sign and city staff are expected to come back with a variety of options on design and location by this fall.
