A year of birthdays and the "Jewel of the Pan-Pacific"

As we make our way towards the end of 2011 I'm finding myself thinking back about all of the anniversaries and birthdays that took place and which we shared with you here on our blog over the past 12 months.

As we make our way towards the end of 2011 I'm finding myself thinking back about all of the anniversaries and birthdays that took place and which we shared with you here on our blog over the past 12 months. BC Parks turning 100 years old, our city turning 125, MacLures Cabs turning 100, the Canucks turning 40, EXPO 86 and the 25 year lookback party that we threw at Science World in celebration, Rick Hansen's 25th Anniversary Relay and CBC celebrating their 75th year as Canada's public broadcaster.

Wow. That's a lot of candles on a lot of cakes.

Also celebrating an anniversary in 2011 are the Pan Pacific Vancouver and Canada Place which were constructed in 1986 and opened for EXPO 86. To mark the end of this year I'm sharing with you this incredibly 80's-feeling-and-looking-and-sounding documentary concerning the building of them.
