Though every major city in Canada will have great Millennium New Year's bashes, Vancouver's will be spectacular. At this time, I would like to extend a Happy New Year to all who visit here. May the New Millenium bring you happiness, peace, prosperity and love. Stanley Park is the largest urban park in Canada and is without a doubt Vancouver's most impressive feature. Consisting of over one thousand acres, it is a part of British Columbia's coastal rain forest.
Giant trees fill the park.
Red Cedar and Douglas Fir stretch high into the sky and to enhance its beauty, the park is surrounded by water on three sides. Giant Haida totem poles can be found in the park. These giant totems attest to the skill of Haida carvers. Grizzly bears, eagles, killer whales and the Haida's main staple, Halibut, speak of past generations of Native Peoples who called the coast and surrounding waters home. The Sea Wall is Stanley Park's parameter walkway.
