Vancouver police observed yet another gathering last night of maskless people thumbing their noses at provincial health recommendations.
Hugs Over Masks activists promoted the event, which was billed as the NYE Freedom Rally Dance Party, on the north side of the Vancouver Art Gallery.
Citytv s David Zura reported that former Vancouver Canucks national anthem singer Mark Donnelly was among those who performed.
It came after provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix reported that there were eight more deaths that day from COVID-19, bringing B.C. s total number of fatalities to 901.
