88 and still looking great — today is YVR’s birthday! Vancouver Airport officially opened July 22, 1931. At the time, it could hold 12 large aircraft or 30 small aircraft (with wings folded). Today, YVR is home to 56 airlines, connecting people and businesses to more than 125 non-stop destinations worldwide. YVR has been built on a foundation of safety, teamwork, accountability and innovation and will continue to grow as an airport British Columbians can be proud of thanks to these values and our unique, community-based operating model.
YVR is the __ __ __ __ code for what is now known as Vancouver International Airport! Who knows why? Take a guess in the comments below ✈️

Do you know where to find this? This is the Graham Clarke Atrium located at the intersection of the domestic and international check in halls. This area makes for a great meet-up spot, a charging break or a spot to relax and take in YVR’s intricately integrated Sense of Place theme.
What you see in the middle is “Celebrating Flight”, a totem pole carved by artist Don Yeomans in 2007. Yeomans also created the talking stick in The Jade Canoe. The totem pole was made as a gift to humans for being first creatures on earth to achieve flight without being born with wings.
The knots and characters on the pole are meant to signify the strengthening of cross-cultural bonds and reflect YVR as an international meeting place for all cultures.

International terminal expansion: expectation vs reality Pier D is still set to open Summer 2020! This rendering shows just one of our innovative capital expansion projects made possible by our unique not-for-profit operating model. We constantly work to make your airport even better! The multi-year expansion project currently underway will help YVR meet growing passenger demand and better connect British Columbians and local businesses to the world.
Pier D will support eight new wide body gates, including four bridged gates and four remote stand operation (RSO) gates. These new gates will allow YVR to welcome more large aircraft including the A380 which has a wingspan of 260-feet! The expansion will continue with YVR’s well-known Sense of Place theme and will include a range of new shopping, dining and experiential amenities! Who else is excited?! ♀️♂️

@helenkellerintl “I’ve been privileged and humbled to lead HKI for 14 years, and one thing I’ve learned is that with the strength of science and evidence behind us, the clear eyes of pragmatism – and a strong dose of determination and optimism— there is little we cannot do. And there is so much we must do.” – Kathy Spahn, President & CEO of Helen Keller International at our #HKIgala tonight.
Kathy recounted the story of meeting 11-month old Muzaifa and his mother, Zainab (pictured here) in Tanzania last October. Baby Muzaifa is bigger and healthier than Zainab’s older children were at this age, thanks to #nutrition and hygiene guidance that Zainab now receives from a community health worker trained by HKI. It’s these stories that are at the heart of our work.

@malaria_consortium In #BurkinaFaso, a mother holds her child as it receives seasonal #malaria chemoprevention (SMC) - this treatment is recommended by @WHO as one of the most effective interventions for the prevention of malaria in areas where transmission is highly seasonal. Four monthly doses of the anti malarial drug are administered to children aged 3-59 months during the peak transmission season. SMC has been found to be effective in preventing up to 89% of cases. Malaria Consortium SMC programmes in the Sahel are #GiveWell recommended. Learn more in the link in our bio!”

@oneacrefund "I have planted this variety for two years now and I am very happy with the yields. You see how the cobs seem to be smiling back at me?"
Here's Evans Kirui, one of the farmers we serve in Sotik, Kenya, enjoying the fruit of his labour. Smiles all round!
