Location: FORTISBC, 1111 Georgia
Salmon. While the Pacific Salmon can be found in the waters off many faraway lands, the people of British Columbia and Vancouver have forever taken a special ownership of this fish.
Historically the Pacific Salmon has provided sustenance for locals which led to it being used as a subject in traditional arts; we hope to echo these two characteristics of the salmon with our sculpture and subsequent food bank donation.
Inspired by the style of great local artists like Bill Reid, we have chosen red, black, and white to be the colours of the structure.

Our team, “The CANOGRAPHERS” have tried to capture the essence of our City through the lens of camera. While showcasing our great city, the real beauty lies within its people and their desire to help the less fortunate that makes Vancouver beautiful both inside and out. May we be inspired everyday by the beauty of our City, wide-eyed as if there we had a camera hanging around our neck.

Name: CANCOUVER PUBLIC SQUARE
Location: HSBC PENDULUM
Library Square in Downtown Vancouver was designed by Canadian architect Moshe Safdie and is home to 2.8 million items in its collection and 375 000 cardholders.
The building was inspired by the Colisseum Amphitheatre in Rome and includes a 21-story office building in the southeast corner. Circus in Vancouver, too, was originally inspired by Ancient Roman architecture. Originally, the circus was a building for the exhibition of horse and chariot races, equestrian shows, staged battles, displays featuring trained animals, jugglers and acrobats. It has evolved to a magical and mystical multimedia display of human potential in action.
Library Square construction began in 1993 and it was opened in 1995 to the delight of British Columbians and it represents the second largest library system in the country.
Cirkids, now known as CircusWest, performed as a feature act during the opening weekend celebrations bringing the entry plaza alive with aerials, juggling, unicycling and trampoline. Since its opening, the Vancouver Library has become a home for many performances, fairs and festivals and is a gathering place for celebration, contemplation, and literary pursuits.

Fluor is proud to be a part of the city of Vancouver and all its triumphs. Although rain is a thought almost synonymous with Vancouver, what makes our city great is what we do in the rain. CANcouver shows the city rising out of that stigma with iconic landmarks like Cloud 9, Science World, and the RBC building; a rich cultural heritage reflected by a totem pole of an eagle catching a salmon; and a tribute to the city’s sporting achievements in the form of sports totem pole.
Safety, integrity, teamwork, and excellence are Fluor’s core values and are reflected in our Passion to Build projects all around the world. We believe in our commitment to have a positive impact on the quality of life in all the communities that we are a part of. Passion to Feed in Vancouver is proud to be a part of Canstruction Vancouver on its 10th anniversary.

Canstruction team members have had some connection to Grouse Mountain – when one looks northward in our beautiful city, it’s an icon that we are so proud of. The Grouse Mountain Gondola is a constant reminder of the exciting experience that going up the mountain gives to all who venture to our local mountain. In building this structure, we are all reminded of the uplifting experience of helping others in our community in a very special way – it’s a small thing to do, but in aggregate, every effort adds to the solution to hunger in our city. We are compelled to work on a solution to hunger, a solution to helping families cope with hardship. We’ve worked together to build this structure to do just that – to raise awareness, to attract hundreds to support the great work being done here at Canstruction, and to help each year of our building and support yield greater amounts of food.

Location: FORTISBC, 1111 Georgia
Vancouver is a city built around the needs of early settlers. In the 1800’s, Vancouver was identified as an ideal location for a port. Today, we move over 120,000,000 tonnes of goods through our ports, creating thousands of jobs and over $10 billion dollars of Gross Domestic Product (GPD).
The Port of Dreams was created to deliver healthy, well-balanced meals to all. Designed to ensure all food groups from the Canada Food Guide are incorporated for healthy filling meals. Casseroles, chilies and pastas, the options are endless!
Our sculpture is a dream for a day when healthy and fulfilling food will be delivered to each and every person, with no one left hungry.

Name: The Eagle “Can”
Location: HSBC PENDULUM
Every winter, the majestic Bald Eagle, journeys to the West Coast of BC to feast on fish on the banks of our rivers, lakes and oceans. Their diet consists mostly on fish, such as spawning trout and salmon, which they snatch out of the water using powerful talons. The gripping power of the talons is estimated to be 10 times greater than that of a human!
Colbeagle the Eagle, the hunger-fighter, is here to help combat hunger! He prefers a smorgasbord of canned tuna, tomatoes, noodles, pudding, sausages, potato chips, gum and chocolates – maybe that is why he has grown to 6 ft tall and weighing in at 286 kilograms, to help combat hunger.
Did you know?
There are approximately 7,000 feathers on a bald eagle. When an eagle loses a feather on one wing, it will lose a feather on the other in order to keep its balance!

Our dragon incorporates many Asian food items: potato starch teeth and claws, tea bag antlers and wattles, ramen noodle bowl eyes, and clouds made of translucent bean thread noodles. The dragon itself is comprised of 5,760 flake light tuna cans, 888 chili flavoured tuna cans, and 576 smoked tuna cans.

Since the beginning of North America, the Aboriginal culture has impacted Vancouver in several amazing ways. With our sculpture, we are combining history and the core of Vancouver. We did this by representing the Aboriginal culture through the art that has enlightened our city, but also adding a flare of Vancouver by showcasing the amazing sculptures that are placed within our city. In our particular ‘CANstruction’ model we have imbedded the Aboriginal whale art with the raindrop sculpture in downtown Vancouver to provide our spectators with the ‘old and the new’ of Vancouver. Together the two scenes represent the essence of Vancouver! Aboriginal art has been at the heart of the British Columbia’s Heritage, and the Rain Drop is a representation of Vancouver. Morphing the two core elements, reminds us of how fortunate we are to live in such a culturally rich and diverse city. We must remember those who are less fortunate and who have a constant struggle with poverty. Our structure, made primarily from good “fish” protein will provide nutrition for those who are in need.

The urban raccoon could easily be considered Vancouver’s unofficial mascot. From the cheeky begging bandits of Stanley Park to the alley-roving nocturnal gangs scouring through our refuse bins, the rascally raccoon is as much Vancouver as our mountains, water and shimmering glass towers.
However, these cute critters aren’t the only thing lurking just beneath our City’s gleaming surface—hunger is another. For many, the source of a meal is not certain, nor is a meal guaranteed. Canstruction is just one part of ensuring fresh food and sustenance for the people of our city. The rest is up to all of us.

On a warm and sunny August afternoon, Mr. Canderson strolled happily down Davie Street on his to way to the local community garden to pick some food for dinner that night. Mr. Canderson approached his garden plot and bent down to pick one of his fresh carrots. As he started to tug on the bright vegetable, he looked down, and let out a gasp as he fell backwards. Looking right back at him was a small, slimy snail, which somehow had arrived at the vegetable garden first.
“Thank you Mr. Canderson, for growing such delicious food for me and my family to eat!” said the snail. “You are so kind to provide us with a delicious feast – the big juicy tomatoes and the sweet orange carrots are my favourites!”
“Delicious feast?” Mr. Canderson said, not believing that he was talking to a snail. “You are eating all my vegetables!” he replied sternly. “I need these for my family’s dinner. You are being very selfish right now, snail”.
“By growing these vegetables in your garden, I can help you too” the snail went on. “I recycle the organic matter in the soil making it rich and fertile and full of nutrients that are good for you and your vegetables.”
“I suppose I could… share with you?” offered Mr. Canderson. “I didn’t really think about how you and your family needed to eat too. I know! – I’ll set aside some vegetables for you here” he said, pointing to a corner of the vegetable plot. “Afterall, food is for all of us big and small, and it’s meant to be shared”.
“Thank you Mr. Canderson!” said the snail. “I feel honoured to share this garden with you”. Mr. Canderson and the snail lived out the rest of their days, sharing their food, and their stories together at the local encanted community garden. THE END.

When Simon Fraser was sent West to expand trading opportunities for the North West Company in the early 1800s, he accepted with perseverance and valor. Under these principles was Simon Fraser University established. The university became committed to expanding into the city and engaging the world.
To symbolize this growth, we chose to reconstruct the Simon Fraser Rose (named in honour of Simon Fraser). The center of the rose represents the three diverse campuses of SFU connected as one. The petals represent the blossoming of Metro Vancouver and the leaves represent the vast natural setting that is British Columbia.
As a whole, the three separate parts of the rose combined reflect the community fostered by Simon Fraser University and the essence of the City of Vancouver.

Our sculpture pays homage to a beloved creature inhabiting the Pacific West Coast: the killer whale or orca. At the same time, our design is also influenced by Douglas Coupland’s Digital Orca that sits on the edge of the harbour on the Jack Poole Plaza at the Vancouver Convention Centre. This magnificent 25’ sculpture of a pixilated orca has truly become a Vancouver icon, and is photographed regularly by the community and international guests alike.
We must all do our part in taking responsible actions to protect this beautiful animal and preserve their natural marine habitat.
Similarly, we must also protect and support those in our community who are fighting hunger.
