“The Canadian Experience”
Enjoy and experience a remarkable journey through one thousand years of Canada's social history. Under a domed ceiling 17 m high (56 ft.), a panorama of Canadian history unfolds in a space more than 3,000 square metres (32,293sq. ft.) in area. Life-size settings of buildings and environments from the history of Canada are reconstructed, furnished with appropriate artifacts.
Dinner will take place in the Grand Hall where Six Native houses are displayed, connected by a Pacific coast shoreline and boardwalk, portray the rich cultural history of the First Peoples of the Northwest Coast.
