I have been living in the Vancouver suburbs almost all my life and spent 4 years working in the downtown core. For many of us, the sound of the 12-noon horns, once on top of the BC Hydro Building either meant 'time for lunch' or time for the "Electric Lunch" to start on CFMI - Rock 101 radio station (back in the day).
I can't believe that it took all the way until the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics to learn that the tune the horns play are the first 4 notes of our National Anthem - "Oh Canada" and that they have been moved to the top of the Pan Pacific Hotel at Canada Place.
And I'm not the only person who grew up around here, NOT to know that fact. I'm curious, did you know this?
