(File:Canada Place with Downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Masson.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Canada Place with Downtown Vancouver)Canada Place was built on the land which was originally the Canadian Pacific Railway’s Pier Bâ€“C. Built in 1927, its primary purpose was to serve CPR and other shipping lines trading across the Pacific Ocean.In 1978 Federal, Provincial and Municipal governments commenced planning for development of convention, cruise ship and hotel facilities. Four years later, the Government of Canada created a crown corporation, the Canada Harbour Place Corporation (known as Canada Place Corporation until 2012), to develop the Canada Place project on the Pier Bâ€“C site. Construction began when Queen Elizabeth II arrived on the Royal Yacht Britannia with Pierre Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada and William R. Bennett, Premier of BC to initiate the first concrete pour.WEB, 2015-10-02, History {{!, Canada Place |url=https://www.canadaplace.ca/about-us/history/ |access-date=2022-03-19 |website=Canada Place {{!}} |language=en-US}}During Expo 86, the Canada Pavilion at Canada Place was opened by Prince Charles and Brian Mulroney, Prime Minister of Canada.

Heritage Horns

(File:Hertage Horns 2013.ogg|thumb|right|Touch play to hear horns)The Heritage Horns, formerly known as the 12 O’clock Horn, sound the first four notes of O Canada every day at noon and can be heard throughout Downtown Vancouver and beyond. The ten horns have five facing north and five facing east on the roof of the Pan Pacific hotel and have an output of 115 Decibels. They were originally on the roof of the BC Hydro building (now The Electra) and were silent when the headquarters was converted to condominiums in the early 1990s. The horns started sounding again on November 8, 1994 after being acquired, refurbished, and relocated to Canada Place. Due to complaints, the timer was changed from mechanical to electrical soon after to make them accurate.Heritage Horns {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130403032914www.canadaplace.ca/At_Canada_Place/Attractions/Heritage_Horns |date=2013-04-03 }}.
