1. WWII - Air Raid Shelter

Near a campground in Ucluelet, British Columbia. Just inside the woods, very easy to access. Old shelters in the area to protect locals against possible air raids during World War II

When I was at the site, I only actually found one shelter, however a post from a BC Facebook page has nicer photos and shows that there may be more in the area. Link to said article will be in the external links section.

I came across the entry point first, and followed it inside. It wasn't particularly high, and I had to crouch. The cement entry went a few feet back into the hill,, then turned into a long cylindrical tunnel. I followed the tunnel and it comes out at an almost identical exit/entry point a bit away down from it, not very far (I guess the shelter doesn't need to be big for such a small town!)

Edit: Also linking an article on Coast defense in BC as it is relevant. While it doesn't talk about this shelter in particular it gives mention to Ucluelet a few times.

2. Polar Bear Habitat

The polar bear habitat is one of the last remnants of the old Stanley Park Zoo, which closed in 1996. The building itself was repurposed into a salmon hatchery, but the enclosure has remained abandoned for the last 18 years.

Nothing too special here, but it is a neat enclosure (though much too small), and it is pretty cool that they left the signs behind, though most have deteriorated.

3. Abandoned Ski Hill
