About

Nina Kowalski, seven years on that load

Vancouver · 5 October 2026

I worked crew on the flying theatre at Canada Place: launching cabins, checking 102 centimetres, timing scent cues I could hear in my sleep. I do not work that floor now. I still live here. I still walk the pier when the water is clean.

Visitors asked the same things in the holding room — timed entry, children, Saturday. I got tired of repeating it over a pre-show track. These pages are that list, written down.

This website is an independent planning guide, not affiliated with any attraction or its operator. I do not take a cut of tickets. I do not run a desk. Reservations belong to the operator. A plan you can read here.

What you are reading

A planning guide. Photos from Wikimedia Commons, credited on the page. Notes from someone who stood that dock in a July crush and in a quiet January.

What you are not reading

Not the official site. Not a shop. Not a place to argue a missed window. Email is for these pages, not for crew still on shift.
