The Canada Pavilion architecture
The Canada Pavilion is located in the vibrant "Empowering Lives" zone of the Expo. Inspired by dramatic Canadian ice formations, the pavilion represents a striking blend of nature’s raw power and Canada’s heartfelt warmth and openness.
On the outside, there’s a cool, icy facade, but step inside to feel the warmth, openness, and optimism that define Canada. Each year, ice fragments signal the end of winter and the start of spring, releasing rivers and renewing the land. It’s a powerful symbol of transformation, growth, and hope – not just in nature, but in communities across Canada too.
Experience the magic of regeneration and become part of Canada’s story of renewal and optimism by visiting us!
