Organizations like Public Dreams that put on public events are always looking for volunteers, donors and members. Maybe Vancouverites need to quit complaining and actually pitch in to get these things going:

Short term, there's nothing stopping people from organizing neigbourhood parties, going to a club etc. |
who said fireworks? There is other things that could have been done, like a free concert or something. The city could have worked with sponsers to keep costs down, and i imagine once you factor in spending in the city during the 'event' it does not have to be that costly.
yes we can entertain ourselves, which I did, but this is a vancouver forum, and are we not about making the city the best it can be? Vancouver is seriously lacking in the public events department and 'fun' in general.
As i said in an earlier post.....world class my arse.....
happy new year
