This morning Hudson's Bay hosted a (free) pancake breakfast to thank all the volunteers who helped clean up and have supported the city of Vancouver after the rioting downtown after the Stanley Cup Final Wednesday night.
There were police and paramedics there, dancing and serving pancakes :)
Everyone was having a good time. For the past 3 days people have been showing their support by signing the boards, leaving flowers and helping with the city's cleanup. I get to walk by the Bay everyday to and from work and it's really made me feel proud to be a Canadian, and this summer, a Vancouverite.
They played a version of the Barbra Streisand song. By "a version" I mean, they added a neat twist to it.
ORIGINAL SONG
VANCOUVER'S VERSION
If you're not a hockey fan, I'll just explain they changed "Barbra Streisand" to "Ryan Kesler" - Kesler is one of the Vancouver Canucks.
And of course, it's not a party without the YMCA
And the boards continue to fill with messages.
This police cruiser had about 12 stickies on it Thursday night. By yesterday morning it was completely covered in thank you notes to the VPD (Vancouver Police Department)
After pancakes, Emily and I headed to UBC to see the campus.

And there were weird signs all over the campus. Can someone please let me in on why "British Columbia" is mirrored?? We couldn't figure out how and why this made sense.
Emily and I met up with Matt, Ashley, Pratik and Edwina for a late lunch at Red Robbin and then we saw Bridesmaids at the Metrotown theatre. It's a really funny movie :)
