Vancouver, BC: Vancouver’s skyline will feature 30 candles on select evenings this June and July, marking the 30th Anniversary of BC Place.
BC Place has been the home of countless moments in BC’s rich history, hosting more than 30 million guests at events as diverse as the province itself. Since its official opening on June 19, 1983, BC Place has hosted thousands of events, large and small, from world-class concerts with 62,000 in attendance, to community days where fans have met their heroes.
To further celebrate the occasion, BC Place invites all British Columbians to share their favourite memories of BC Place for a chance to win prizes during the 30 days of celebrations. Full contest details are at www.bcplace.com

About the “Northern Lights” at BC Place
The stadium roof façade – known as the Northern Lights Display - uses 1700 ‘ETFE’ panels, stacked four rows high, and 6,800 linear feet of energy-efficient LED lights to create customizable lighting displays. BC Place has used the entire roof to promote specific events, create seasonal displays and raise awareness for community and charitable organizations.
