Nine O’Clock Gun
The Nine O’Clock Gun is a historic landmark located in Stanley Park, Vancouver. For over a century, it has fired every night at precisely 9:00 PM, a tradition dating back to the early 1900s. Originally a time signal for ships in the harbor, the cannon is now a popular and iconic feature of Vancouver’s waterfront. Its distinct sound can be heard across the park, adding to the city’s unique atmosphere.
The Nine O’Clock Gun is fired from a cannon situated on a bluff overlooking Burrard Inlet. The cannon itself has a rich history, having been used in various forms throughout Vancouver’s development. The sound serves as both a reminder of the city’s maritime heritage and a quirky piece of local culture. Visitors to Stanley Park often stop to witness the firing of the gun, a moment that adds to the area’s historical appeal.
