Canadian Pavilion
Type: Entertainment venue
Type: Museum

Oh, Canada! No Nufies. No Spruce Grove Girls plying the West Edmonton Mall. Not even a Tim Horton's. The Canadians have chosen to direct their efforts into two of its lesser-known cultures -- the pioneering lumberjack types of the Pacific coast and the quasi-French cultures of eastern Ontario and pseudo-French culture of Quebec. Putting these together has resulted in a most unusual restaurant -- "Le Cellier" a steak-and-salmon joint with a French flair. Go figure. Visitors to the Canadian exhibit are greeted by 30-foot-tall totem poles similar to those carved by the indians of the Pacific coast. Further on is the Hôtel du Canada which is based on the Chateau Laurier in Ottawa.

The following may or may not be true:

  • Only one of the totem poles is actually made of wood. The others are fiberglass.
  • The real totem pole was carved by David Boxley, a Tsimshian Indian artist, and erected in April, 1998.
