Vancouver Riots

Site Created for Public's Views on Vancouver Riot

Our guess? The site becomes overrun with submissions wondering why Roberto Luongo couldn't stop a beachball.

The inquiry into the riot that broke out after the Vancouver Canucks lost to the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup final launched a website for the public to submit their opinions and experiences of the chaos that engulfed downtown Vancouver. The inquiry, run jointly by British Columbia, the city of Vancouver, and Vancouver police, is set to make public its findings into why the riot unfolded, and whether the police could have prevented it, by the end of August. The public can write in to the website, pssg.gov.bc.ca/vancouverriotreview, up until Aug. 12. The review's co-chairs, Doug Keefe and John Furlong, will examine all emails sent to the panel.
