Fun Fact: George Grant Mackay, the Scottish civil engineer who built the original
suspension bridge in 1889, was the Vancouver City Parks Commissioner
responsible for setting aside the land now known as Stanley Park.
Media note:
"If you see nothing else while you are in this gorgeous
city, make sure you take the Seabus
across to the North Shore and make
your way up to the Capilano
Suspension Bridge. A swaying
footbridge 230 feet above the
Capilano River, this was definitely
the best attraction we visited
during our stay. The views were
amazing and if you really want to
feel at one with nature, this is the
place to do it."
