List of Googie architecture structures (Canada)

This is a list of Googie architecture structures in Canada which includes a photographic gallery with a brief description of some of the structures which still remain. Googie was an original architectural style which began in Southern California during the late 1940s. Influenced by the coming of the Space Age, the Googie-themed architecture popularity was most notable during the mid-1960s, among motels, coffee houses and gas stations. The term "Googie" comes from a now defunct coffee shop built in West Hollywood designed by John Lautner.
