The Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver is a magnet for shows of all types. One reason for this is the seating arrangements. At its largest, Pacific Coliseum has seats for 17,000. This large seating arrangement is used for sporting events and popular concerts. For smaller shows, the seating can be collapsed to accommodate as few as 4,000 in a mini-concert setting. Being able to adapt the seating to the show always make for a better experience and gives the performer the ability to be at his or her best. Performances at this venue can range from concerts to the Barnum and Bailey Circus to hockey, boxing, and basketball.

In the summer, Jericho’s immensely popular beaches and sailing club attract people from all over Vancouver who want to experience the sparkling waters of English Bay. The park offers plenty of recreation opportunities during other seasons as well, from tennis and field sports to bird-watching opportunities, picnic areas, and plenty of trails and paths along the water and through the forested areas. Known for its naturally sandy beaches this park combines high activity choices with naturally treed copses and ponds. Before the arrival of European settlers this area was home to a native village called Ee’yullmough. Later in the 1860s a logging camp under the auspices of Jeremiah Rogers took hold here. Known as “Jerry’s Cove”, the name evolved into the now familiar “Jericho”. This once was the site of Vancouver’s first golf course but was commandeered by the National Department of Defence in 1919 for a seaplane base with numerous hangars lining the shoreline. Turned over to the Park Board in the early 1970s, all but a handful of the buildings were demolished as the park took shape. The eastern section of the beach caters to swimmers and the west to sailboats and windsurfers under the auspices of the popular Jericho Sailing Association.
