Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games – Northern House

by KimHo on February 23, 2010 · 0 comments under: British Columbia,Events,Photo Essay



Aside to my visit to Robson Street and LiveCity/Downtown for the Canada Pavilion, most of my houses/pavilions so far have a food component. Today’s post is that of the Northern House, a house dedicated to the northernmost Canadian territories, i.e., Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut, is mostly a cultural one. That does not mean it will less interesting than the others; I certainly enjoyed it because it was a break from the hecticness of other pavilions and houses. So, please, enjoy!

Oh, once again, the rest of the posts of this series!


No, that’s not Russell Peters. It was a narrator on site, telling the story of the Inuit.

They have a second floor with additional exhibits but, unfortunately, the day I was there, they had it closed… Other than that small disappointment, I will have to say I really enjoyed this one. It is a real break from what goes outside and shows a side of Canada we are aware of but may not put too much attention.
