Introduction
Canada Square is a square in downtown Montreal, which was part of Dominion Square before 1967. With an area of 14,000 square meters, it is slightly larger than the adjacent Dorchester Square and has diverse terrain due to the downhill slope towards Gauchetière Street. It is open 24 hours a day and stretches from René Lévesque Boulevard in the north to Peel Street in the east, Cathedral Street in the west, and Gauchetière Street in the south. Canada Place, known as a symbol of Vancouver, was the Canadian pavilion at the 1986 Expo. The whole building is covered with a giant tent-like structure and houses the Parliament Centre, Promenade, shops, hotels, and the Pan Pacific Hotel, a five-star restaurant. In addition, there is a large CN IMAX theater with a wide screen. Designed specifically for the 1986 Expo, this impressive compound building resembles a fleet of small ships and is now an international conference venue. Transportation Bonaventure Metro Station
