The famous Stanley Park totem poles are the work of various North-west Coast Indian tribes. The oldest erected here were acquired by the city in 1912. Also worth seeing is the more than 100 year-old Nootka canoe.
The Stanley Park totem poles are located near Brockton Oval, just a short distance from the seawall. An interpretive centre stands near the totem polls, along with a gift shop. The totem poles are well labelled with accompanying histories and stories.
