We continue our Hawaii Blog Canada vacation by looking at Canada Place. This is Canada’s national icon and hub of activity. Near the boat you can see the distinctive five white sails that mark this prominent landmark. Canada Place is home to the Vancouver Convention Centre East, Pan Pacific Hotel, Port Metro Cruise Ship Terminal and the World trade Centre Office Complex. This serving as the International Broadcast Centre for the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Runners and walkers alike take on mile 7 of the 8.15 mile Great Aloha Run held annually on Presidents day. This year an estimated 21,000 people including yours truly got up before the crack of dawn to raise money for charity by completing the run. I’m no runner but I’m happy to say that through a combination of jogging, walking and sheer will power I was able to complete it in 1:42:57 a shade better than last year and a full 10 minutes better than two years ago. Congrats to all those who participated and for the rest of you hope to see you there next year.

Defending champion Zach Johnson along with Ernie Els and Vijay Singh will be in the field also containing Hawaii phenom Tadd Fujikawa and Hawaii golfers Parker McLachlin, Dean Wilson, Kevin Hayashi, TJ Kua and Nick Mason. Be sure to follow @SonyOpen_Live on twitter. Too bad Global Hawaii doesn’t have a camera pass to the tournament so we can’t provide Sony Open golf pictures.
