Nike Statue
The Nike statue was a gift to the City of Vancouver for being the host city of an Olympic Games.
It wasn't installed for a few years after the Olympics because it took the City some time to determine where to place it.
Not many people actually see the statue because it is in the middle of a street and doesn't get too many people walking by it.
It is a beautiful statue and it is worth going out of your way to see it!
The plaque says:
