Last week we posed five questions that a concierge must answer as part of the test to become a member of Les Clefs dOr and asked our readers if they knew the answers. Congratulations to the winner of the quiz, Andrew Cadigan. Here are the answers.
1. What Vancouver location is the most visited tourist attraction in all of Canada? Granville Island.
2. What three First Nations share Vancouver as their ancestral lands? The Musqueam, the Squamish Nation, and the Slaywatooth.
3. How did Blood Alley get its name? The name was concocted by the neighbourhood to generate tourist interest.
4. Where did the Birks Clock come from? Birks bought the Trorey Jewellers building that became its first building, along with the Trorey clock that became the Birks clock. The clock moved to Granville and Georgia when Birks moved locations, and then came to its current location in 1994 with the building move.
