With the Vancouver Canucks heading into Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Edmonton Oilers, the topic of viewing parties is once again resurfacing.
Although there have yet to be any viewing parties in New Westminster, the city is looking at ways for residents to watch the series outside.
Coun. Daniel Fontaine moved a motion for viewing parties during Monday night’s council meeting, which received support from council members.
While nothing is planned for Wednesday night’s Game 1, the city will be working on setting up parties for the rest of the series.
