Acquaintance with Vancouver usually begins with the pedestrian suspension bridge Kapilano, and it's not accidental. Constructed Kapilano was in 1889 by a project engineer from Scotland, George Grand McCain. At the very beginning of his existence, he looked completely different: he was built from hemp rope and cedar boards, he quickly fell into disrepair and in 1956 was completely rebuilt.

Strangely enough, but the Kapilano bridge is not a public territory, but a private domain. Today it belongs to the company owned by Nancy Stibbart. It is this woman who owns the Kapilano bridge, and it is she who has all the rights to it.

Why do all tourists seek to cross this bridge? It's enough to look down: dizziness and stale breathing are guaranteed. Each year, more than 800,000 tourists are tested themselves and the bridge for strength. But the residents of Vancouver, Kapilano bridge, try to avoid it, believing that it is just entertainment for tourists.

Address: West Vancouver, BC V7S 1J5.
