One of Vancouver’s most popular tourist attractions is again delighting crowds after suffering damage on the weekend.
The City of Vancouver said Wednesday that crews had replaced a shattered glass panel on the Gastown steam clock Tuesday.
The cost for materials and labour to repair the clock came in at $963, plus tax.

The antique-looking clock at the corner of Cambie and Water streets was completed in 1977. It uses a combination of steam and electric power, and whistles every 15 minutes, drawing thousands of tourists every year.
