The 6,000-square-meter Canada Pavilion, among the biggest at the site, will feature an exhibition themed “The Living City: Inclusive, Sustainable, Creative.” The pavilion is about the size of two-and-a-half NHL ice hockey rinks and has an open air public space as its centre piece. The square will be a performing area, where visitors can watch the performances of Cirque du Soleil before checking out the pavilion. Canada has also given environmental protection consideration into the pavilion. Part of the pavilion’s exterior walls will be covered by a special kind of greenery and rainwater will be collected by a drainage system for use inside the pavilion. This touch of green also represents Canda’s natural beauty and resources. Cirque du Soleil created the concept design for the Canada Pavilion and will also create public performances, organize cultural programs and develop strategic corporate alliances for the pavilion. The Canada Pavilion hopes to welcome more than 5.5 million visitors over its 6-month exhibition period and will be a showcase to the world for Canadian culture, advanced technology and urban development.
