Tourism Challenge 2026

The Challenge

We’re super excited to once again be hosting our beloved tourism professionals for the return of the Tourism Challenge.

To earn two stamps you must answer at least two of the below questions and visit two of Gastown’s most iconic shops.

See below for full instructions.

Question One

How many colourful circles can you see on the iconic Gastown pillar at Cordova and Water St., near the entrance to the neighbourhood?

Question Two

Can you name the iconic mini-mall that is home to multiple local businesses?

Question Three

If you look closely at the Gastown Steam Clock, what colour are the flower petals in the corners of the face?

Question Four

There are a few places where you can best view the mountains in the neighbourhood. Can you locate a spot?

Question Five

In Maple Tree Square, can you find the red boots? How many are there?

Get Stamped

Once you’ve answered the questions, make your way to Make Vancouver and Tees.ca to collect your stamps (one stamp per location).

Happy discovering! Don’t forget to tag us in any photos that you share on social media @mygastown.
