Photos & video: Woodward's W sign returns to Vancouver skyline

The red W sits atop Woodward's once again.

By Stephen Hui, January 9, 2010

The iconic Woodward's sign has returned to Vancouver's skyline.

This morning (January 9), the red W was hoisted atop the Woodward's development in the Downtown Eastside.

It's not the same W that crowned the former Woodward's department store for many years, but a re-creation.

The new sign will be lit up on Friday (January 15) during an official unveiling ceremony.

The original W will be displayed in a glass case in the project's public plaza.

I am thrilled that this permanent landmark is something that people will associate with both Vancouver and the 2010 Olympics.
