I just found some info on it:

http://www.bh.org.il/Communities/Archive/Vancouver.asp

It wasn't the first synagogue in the city but it sits on the site of the first one. This one was built in 1921.

This is a pic of the exterior circa 1984:

Thanks for the pics. Neon signs should be mandatory. I especially like the parrot. They give off such a nice warm light.

Great street-level shots. Looks like a great place to be on a Saturday.

Thanks for the nice tour. I see a few things in this thread I've never really noticed before.
