After the meeting, 4/20 organizer Dana Larsen told Postmedia News that the performance would not be cancelled.
The Vancouver parks board will be sending a letter to 4/20 organizers asking them to cancel the appearance of hip-hop act Cypress Hill at this year’s event.
Coupar said that booking that act was a “dramatic escalation” of an event that the parks board is already opposed to. Coupar claimed the event cost taxpayers about $300,000 a year, while organizers earned about $750,000 from sponsorships and selling vendor spaces.
