Make Vancouver more fun: end the 11pm patio ban
By Sean McNulty
Vancouver only enjoys 4 months a year with average temperatures above 15 degrees Celsius. These 4 months are comprised of 122 days, of which 36 days experience some rain, leaving 86 days out of 365 for residents to enjoy patios on warm, rain free evenings. Logic would suggest that the bylaws would seek to maximize the resident’s ability to enjoy these evenings, but unfortunately they do not.
