In 1886, when Vancouver was incorporated as a city, about 1,000 acres of land was reserved as Stanley Park. It is surrounded by water and covered with a dense forest. Some of the trees reach 250 feet and are almost 100 years old. In short, it appears like it did when the Aboriginal people inhabited it before the British arrived. These First Nation totem poles are reproductions of the ones that once stood here near Brockton Point.
