This note may be a little late to help John as I believe he is "in transit". As Patrick noted, a google search on "Vancouver+sundial" will find some dials. Those noted so far are in Vancouver Washington which is quite a ways from Vancouver British Columbia. This is good information but not either Tony's or John's itineraries. There are some relevant hits farther down the list including the following:
The large equatorial sundial at English Bay. http://boppin.com/sundial.htm The sundial by Gerhard Class at the VanDusen Botanical Gardens http://www.city.vancouver.bc.ca/parks/parks&gardens/vandusen/gardenhighlight s/sculpture.shtml "The nephrite and bronze sundial which was donated to VanDusen, was created by Gerhard Class who organized the International Sculpture Symposium in 1975. The sundial is set to Pacific Daylight Saving Time". The Compass Rose War Memorial across the bridge in North Vancouver. This does not show time but the direction of sunrise and set. "At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them." http://www.stemnet.nf.ca/monuments/bc/northvan3.htm This points out that we NASS members need to work to update the Registry. I will take on this task for the Banff/Calgary leg of John's itinerary.

Try entering 'vancouver sundial' into Google. That puts up the Sundial Bridge and one or two others I hadn't heard of too....They must hide them there or something...
