Nicholson Road is part of a daily photo project aimed at sharing and celebrating the different communities in Metro Vancouver. Each week Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» will be featuring one of the most engaging photos from the project in order to draw your attention a little bit outside of the hyper-focus that we usually have on the city of Vancouver. |
The grand, white, Peace Arch on the international boundary between Blaine, WA and Surrey, BC, was built in 1921 to commemorate the centennial of the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the War of 1812. Did you know the corners and edges were lined with about 470 lights until they were removed in the 50's? And did you also know it's considered one of the first earthquake-proof structures in North America? Now you know!
