The Inukshuk at English Bay is one of Vancouver’s most recognized coastal landmarks an iconic stone sculpture created by artist Alvin Kanak. Originally commissioned by the Government of the Northwest Territories for its pavilion at Expo ’86, the piece was later gifted to the City of Vancouver and relocated to its present waterfront setting in 1987. Standing six metres tall and constructed from grey granite, the Inukshuk reflects the Inuit tradition of using stone markers for navigation, community guidance, and expressions of hospitality. Today, it serves not only as a cultural symbol but also as a welcoming beacon for residents and visitors along the shoreline.
