Christmas at Canada Place 2017

Nov 24 2017, 5:55 am

Christmas celebrations at Vancouver’s Canada Place this year will include a 15-foot illuminated moose, who needs a name, and a sparkling avenue of Christmas trees.

Free Christmas attractions will be taking over the Canadian Trail, along the west promenade of Canada Place from November 23 to December 31 this year.

The moose is part of a new Canada’s North light display on the North Point of Canada Place, full of light installations to bring radiance to the winter night.

Canada Place are holding a public vote to give the moose a suitably festive name. You can vote on your favourite name at canadaplace.ca from November 24 to November 30.
