Huge cedar post known as the "Spirit Log" supports the ceiling of BC Canada Place


One of the main attractions was the massive cedar post in the center of the house. Owner of Sitka Log Homes, John Johnson, explained "The 238 year old large diameter log was washed ashore in Bella Coola before we rescued it and incorporated it into our design." It is now being called the "Spirit Log" and visitors were encouraged to touch the B.C. Spirit Log and receive the good energy, best wishes and Olympic spirit of the people of British Columbia.

Standing at the base of the large cedar "Spirit Log" looking to the ceiling shows the great contrast in natural colour between the red cedar and the paler Lodgepole pine logs that join it for support inside BC Canada Place.
