History
Capilano Mall was originally built in 1967. Woolworth's then Woolco and Super-Valu were the initial anchor tenants. In 1974 an expansion added a Sears store. The mall underwent an upgrade and major expansion in 1986, and again in 2001.[4] The mall contains two totem poles constructed in 1986 by Nisga's sculptor Norman Tait and his family. The poles serve as a central feature, reflecting the site's historical and cultural connections to the local land.[5]
Transportation
Capilano Mall is served by frequent TransLink bus service along Marine Drive.
