Stand eye to eye with the totem poles in Stanley Park

The totem poles in Stanley Park are among the most visited attractions in all of British Columbia and tell the stories of the Indigenous peoples of the region. These intricately carved wooden sculptures come from different parts of the province and represent the culture and mythology of the First Nations. Each pole is a unique work of art showing ancestral figures, animals and spiritual beings.

From just a few metres away you can take a close look at the impressive details of the totem poles. Information boards on site explain the origin and meaning of each pole.
