    The tin soldier was revealed in 2000 and moved to the pier in 2001, and a time capsule was placed inside it upon its construction. The soldier was modeled after a Royal Engineer, and while it was apparently intended to represent kindness and inclusion, many have instead seen it as a monument to colonisation. In 2025, Brandon Gabriel used light projection to turn the soldier into an indigenous Salish Welcome Figure.
