Post on: May 18, 2015

Known to small folk as the lego whale, Digital Orca is a massive pixelated whale sculpture by groundbreaking Vancouver author and artist Douglas Coupland. The monochrome beast is jumping skyward against a stunning North Shore Mountain backdrop on the waterfront at Jack Poole Plaza. Next to it you’ll find the Vancouver Olympic Cauldron, lit by Wayne Gretzky during the 2012 Winter Olympics opening ceremonies.

About author

Small Folk Travel

Small Folk Travel is a family travel site by mama and travel writer Taraneh Jerven. The Jerven family (two toddlers, one bun in the oven) travels incessantly. When researching our trips, we couldn't find the family travel coverage we were looking for. We did our own research. We wrote the family travel guides ourselves. Taraneh Jerven writes for international travel publishers including RoughGuides.com and DK Eyewitness Travel. We cover good stuff for discerning parents and their little ones. Often these overlap. If they don't, we take turns.
