The neighbourhood is expecting thousands of Vancouver Canucks fans for a viewing party
In the quiet and leafy Vancouver neighbourhood of South Cambie, best known for its botanical garden, playoff fever is about to set in.
That’s the idea — before announcing the location, Mayor Ken Sim had said he was aware of the city’s “history” with the playoffs that included downtown riots in 1994 and 2011. “Mother’s Day is the single busiest day of the year for the restaurant … 600 or 700 people for lunch, and a couple more hundred people for dinner time.”
“It’s unfortunate that they picked that location on Mother’s Day. Had they done a little research … of course, that didn’t happen and I’m not surprised.” The restaurant has been a fixture on Oak Street for 40 years. It was packed for Wednesday’s Game 1 of the Canucks-Oilers series. “Everybody was going crazy,” he said, recalling the Canucks’ thrilling come-from-behind 5-4 win.Vancouver police spokeswoman Const. Tania Visintin said the department “definitely” supported the idea of neighbourhood viewing areas.
