MICHAEL BYERS | VANCOUVER’S NEW FREEDOM ARCH FOR MACLEAN’S MAGAZINE
June 10, 2026 Michael Byers
We’re getting into the thick of FIFA World Cup frenzy with #lcmartist Michael Byers & Maclean’s Magazine and watching Canada play at Vancouver’s New Freedom Arch. “A new hill is rising in Vancouver, and it’s made out of wood. The latest addition to the Pacific National Exhibition grounds is a revamped outdoor concert and event space capped by the Freedom Mobile Arch, a soaring, 80-foot-high canopy of swooping mass timber that will be one of the largest such structures in the world. This summer, it gets its first primetime showing as a big-screen viewing location for the World Cup…The city’s gorgeous mass-timber concert space is a primo viewing spot.”
