Despite the fact that Coal Harbour is right downtown, it’s a surprisingly calm little neighbourhood, right on the water’s edge. It’s even more surprising given its industrial history as a former shipyard sitting right next to the railway terminus. The area starts at Canada Place and stretches west to Stanley Park, and is bordered by Burrard Inlet to the north, West Georgia Street to the south. Coal Harbour is a charming mix of business and residential, being home to both the Vancouver Convention Centre as well as condo towers.

As a Halifax native with an affinity to Canada’s coastline, the A-maz-ing Laughter sculptures at English Bay have become a choice destination after relocating to Vancouver. They are a reminder to me to never take life to seriously, and always create room for laughter.
