Isn't
jlousa a member of the general public? Realistically what is the potential tourism market for a one night event in the middle of winter in Vancouver?
Most of the American celebrations are funded by private sponsorships. I heartily commend all forumers who'd like to start up a society this week and begin soliciting for donations for next New Year's Eves' event.
As a taxpayer of Vancouver, not so keen on the idea of my money going for a great party for residents of North Van, Richmond, Surrey etc. Especially when kids playing soccer are having to go squat in the bushes in 'cause we can't afford to keep our washrooms open.

Maybe that's the reason nobody wants to organize anything. The great Vancouver yokel phenomenon.
