The Canada Pavilion is shaped like a looped ribbon or the letter "C". Visitors will enter through an open-air public square, the pavilion's centre piece, and then circulate through the larger structure that houses the public displays.
The pavilion touches upon the vitality of cities with the theme "The Living City: Inclusive, Sustainable, Creative." The pavilion is the hub of a wide array of special events and activities. The presentation aims to give a brand-new impression of Canada to visitors, replacing stereotypes of cold and vast tracts of land.
The cooperation between the pavilion and Cirque du Soleil, regarded as Canada's "national treasure," is featured. The troupe made its debut on the Chinese mainland last summer, bringing the Quidam show to Shanghai, its only stop in China. With its support, the exhibitions at the pavilion are quite performance-oriented, giving people new and exciting emotions.
A "virtual waterfall" that changes its pictures when people touch it is a highlight of the pavilion. The waterfall also shows the sceneries of future cities in the imaginations of many Canadian children.
