George Vancouver, Memorial statue outside Vancouver City Hall, Canada.
The bronze statue depicts Captain George Vancouver standing atop a granite base at the entrance of Vancouver City Hall on West 12th Avenue.
Italian sculptor Charles Marega created this monument in 1936 during Vancouver's Golden Jubilee celebrations, with Sir Percy Vincent conducting the unveiling ceremony.
The memorial represents the connection between Vancouver and British maritime exploration, commemorating the naval officer who mapped the Pacific Northwest coastline.
Visitors can access the memorial by taking the Canada Line to City Hall Station or bus routes 99 and 84 that stop near Vancouver City Hall.
The statue's design follows a painting interpretation rather than historical accuracy, as no confirmed contemporary portraits of George Vancouver existed during its creation.
