Sort of.
While awaiting my DL flight this morning I had an opportunity to utilize the Pacific Plaza lounge at YVR TransBorder. It was originally the CP Empress lounge, and I spent much time there. I also had my first introduction to the CP Concierge service there. (I wonder where Monique is now?)
For a short while it was also part of the AC lounge, and eventually became the AS lounge.
But now, once again, it's my lounge. (Thanks Amex!)

If anyone has some lounge photos of that era, I'd love to see them, or be directed to the right thread.
I just missed status in those days as a freshly employed 21 year old, and had to settle for the one time passes that came with silver.
