This painted wood sculpture, in the atrium of the redeveloped Sinclair Centre, shows a man high-stepping, waving his briefcase and holding what looks like a glass of draft beer. A woman is holding a bouquet of flowers and a glass of wine. John Hooper created it during the centennial sculpture symposium. He was born in England, raised in China, served in the British Army in India and settled in New Brunswick, finally dedicating himself to art and earning an Order of Canada. The statue faces the entrance to the Canada Passport office. Usually live people waiting for a Canadian passport don’t look quite this happy. Not after three months of waiting, at any rate!

Sinclair Centre is an upscale shopping mall in Downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. It is located at 757 West Hastings Street between Granville and Howe streets. The centre comprises four heritage buildings that were restored and joined together by a glass atrium roof in 1986. The buildings that comprise the centre are the Post Office (1910), the handsome and architecturally esteemed Winch Building (1911), the Customs Examining Warehouse (1913), and the Federal Building (1937). The main post office was housed here from 1910 until the new one opened in 1958. The Post Office Building is in an Edwardian Baroque style, combining English and French influences. It features an atrium clock consisting of four 12-foot-diameter (3.7 m) clocks built in 1909 and is the largest clock movement in Western Canada; the minute hands alone weigh 92 kilograms (202 pounds) each. In addition to the mall, the building has a seven floor office tower occupied by the federal government.
