Inukshuks at False Creek
If you got the chance to walk along the False Creek seawall in the past few days, then you’ve probably stumbled upon an incredible arrangement of rock formations and Inukshuks next to the Canadian Pavilion. No matter if you’re a local or out of towner, it’s an experience everyone has to see for themselves.
How did it all start? What’s the story behind it? – Well this man knows, his names Ziggy and he’s the individual who started it all. We started talking when he coincidentally spotted my Polish jersey and yelled the popular Borat word, “Chesc!”; which translates to Hello in Polish.
Ziggy worked in a home renovation company when he was unexpectedly let go just a few weeks ago. He came down to False Creek for a walk and as he sat along the rocks looking at Science World he decided to stack rocks together and build himself a Inukshuk. Not satisfied with the size, he came down the next day and built a bigger Inukshuk with a couple rock formations as well. He had such a great time being in piece, he repeatedly came back everyday and challenged himself once more. So far the record was 23 rocks but because of the windy weather the last couple days they didn’t survive.
If you’re looking for a man do your electricity, carpeting, flooring, maybe even rock landscaping, you know where to go. If you see him, wave and yell out a big “Chesc” .. or just hello will do fine too.
Fireworks? Lasers? Loud Music? Fire Pillars? Am I actually seeing this?!
That’s right, the no fun city has become the central hub of the entertainment. Make your way around the city to get lots of FREE stuff like merchandise, entrance to concerts/ shows, coffee/hot chocolate, transit (on occasion), all-day coverage of Olympic games and lets not forget, be obnoxiously loud hassle-free!!
Come down to Robson Square @ 9:30 or 11:00 to watch the show
