Lumberman's Arch, Stanley Park, Vancouver, British Columbia

Photograph depicts the second Lumberman's Arch monument in Stanley Park. The first Lumberman's Arch was built by the Lumberman's Union as a replica of the Parthenon in 1912 to mark the visit of the Duke of Connaught, the Governor General of Canada. It was originally located along his procession route, at Homer and Pender, and was later moved to the Park. In 1947, the structure, having succumbed to rot, was torn down and in 1952, was replaced with the current structure.

Prospect Point, Stanley Park, Vancouver, British Columbia

Photograph depicts a totem pole at Prospect Point in Stanley Park. Though totem poles are common to the Coastal First Nations of British Columbia, the three First Nations (Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh) who claim Stanley Park as their ancestral land were not represented in Stanley Park with this cultural art form until the summer of 2008.

Up until this time, totem poles produced by carvers of the Nuu-chah-nulth, from Vancouver Island's west coast, the Haida and Nisga'a of British Columbia's north coast, and most abundantly, the Kwakwaka'wakw of the north and northeaster coast of Vancouver Island were the only ones found in Stanley Park. The pole in this photograph was most likely produced by a carver from the Kwakwaka'wakw nation.
