More than 250 people joined Colin Hansen, B.C. Minister of Economic
Development for the official grand opening. Hansen and Sheldon Tetreault
of the Metis Nation opened the carved front doors to the handcrafted
log house as part of the opening ceremonies. Royal Canadian
Mounties in their scarlets stood guard in and greeted visitors to
the house.
The massive "Spirit Log" at the center of BC Canada Place is a rescued
238 year old cedar log found floating off
the coast of Bella Coola in British Columbia. During the 2006 Winter
Olympics in Torino, Italy, hundreds of people lined up each day
for the opportunity to touch the log for luck!
