White Rock Pier is a 470-metre-long (1,540 ft) pier in White Rock, British Columbia. Originally built in 1914, it was a dock for steamships that arrived when the Great Northern Railway began operation.[1] On December 20, 2018, the pier was severely damaged during a wind storm.[2] It is estimated that the cost to rebuild the pier is $16.2 million.[3] The pier was repaired and reopened in 2019.
