A Special Statue Outside

Couplandart
A public art statue designed by Douglas Coupland

In November 2008, a special piece of public art was revealed at the Malibu building. This art is a monument, which is like a big statue, honoring the War of 1812.

The idea for this monument came from Douglas Coupland, a famous author from Vancouver. He also designed a park nearby in CityPlace.

The statue shows two giant toy soldiers. One is a gold soldier from the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, standing tall and looking victorious. The other is a silver American soldier, who has fallen over. This statue is meant to show the British victory in the War of 1812.
