Centuries Rock
Beneath this rock is a small vault containing a sealed copper box placed there July 21st, 1954. It contains all manner of illustrated and documentary material dealing with affairs of this date. The box will be opened for inspection July 21st, 2054. Canada's first civic arboretum was established on this site in 1949. Within its boundaries are Canada's native trees, shrubs and plants and many exotic specimens. It is a community project sponsored by the pulp and paper industry of British Columbia and developed by the Board of Park Commissioners of Vancouver.
