The Vancouver Harbour Heliport as seen looking east from the Canada Place cruise ship terminal. The heliport was floated into position on October 10, 1986 and is anchored to the shore by two footbridges, with a couple small buildings onshore serving at a passenger terminal and office. On this day, a Helijet S-76C+ was practicing Cat A vertical takeoffs from the heliport, which was very unusual to see. This was during a flurry of activity when Transport Canada told Helijet to stop landing a seven H1 hospital helipads in urban areas because of a preceived safety issue, which was soon resolved.
