History of the Area

NovaPole

Nova Pole made light poles and transmission towers for much of western Canada. Located on the south side of False Creek, between First Avenue and the recently-built Island, Nova Pole was the last industrial tenant on Southeast False Creek.

The shots below were taken in November 2006 at the Nova Pole facility shortly before it closed to make way for Olympic Village construction.
