Capilano Mall was originally built in the 1960s. Sears Canada was an initial anchor tenant, since joined by Wal-Mart. The mall underwent an upgrade in the late 1980s, and again in 2001 [http://www.nsnews.com/issues01/w061101/news/top-stories/06060104.shtml] . The most recent renovation added a food court, new entrances, and a major update to the mall's appearance, which dated back to its original design. A movie theatre complex was proposed as part of this project, but has yet to materialise as of October 2007.
