Peace Arch Provincial Park
Opening Hours: Open 24 hours
Ticket Price: Free
Recommended Length of Stay: 2-3 Hours
Location: Arch Border, BC-99, Surrey, BC, Canada
Peace Arch Provincial Park (PeaceArchProvincialPark) is more of a symbol and a memorial. This park is located at the southern end of Highway 99, on the US-Canada border. It is composed of PeaceArchProvincialPark in Canada in the north and PeaceArchStatePark in Washington State in the south. In the middle is the border line and the iconic building PeaceArch-a symbol of friendship between the United States and Canada. The Peace Arch was built to commemorate the centenary of the Treaty of Ghent signed between the United States and the United Kingdom in 1814. The arch was completed in 1921 as a peace symbol. The arch is a Greek-style building, about 30 meters high. The lintel on the Canadian side reads: Brethren DwellingTogether in Unity (Brethren Unite), and the lintel on the American side reads: Childrenofa CommonMother (Children of the same mother). These are two inspiring words and the common wish of peace-loving people. Today, the more than 6,000 kilometers of the US-Canada border line under the arch is a long undefended border line, as the saying on the east side of the door: "MayTheseGatesNeverClose".
