*** About Lions Gate Bridge: Opened in 1938, the Lions Gate Bridge spans across the Burrard Inlet, connecting the city of Vancouver to the North Shore municipalities of British Columbia including North Vancouver and West Vancouver. Conceived by Alfred James Towle Taylor, financed by the Guinness family, and named after "The Lions" peaks that are visible from the bridge, this suspension bridge not only serves as a critical transport link but also stands as a symbol of Vancouver's forward-looking engineering and design aesthetics. The bridge was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 2005, underscoring its importance in Canadian architectural history.
