2009 WILLIAM R. BENNETT BRIDGE

Kelowna’s Okanagan Lake Bridge was the only pontoon bridge in Canada and one of only a handful of that type in the world. In 2009, it was replaced by another pontoon bridge: the William R. Bennett Bridge, a five- lane bridge spanning over 1,000 metres, with a capacity of about 80,000 vehicles each day. In the foreground of this photo, portions of the previous Okanagan Lake Bridge are tugged away. P hoto : D arren K irby under C reative C ommons A ttribution -S hare A like 2.0 G eneric .

BC Place Stadium first opened its doors in 1983. In an extensive revitalization in 2011, the air-inflated domed roof was replaced with the largest cable- supported fabric roof of its kind in the world. The 18-month-long renovation project also featured a new scoreboard, new seats, and a new playing-surface turf. P hoto : BC P lace
