With another boxing day among us, it’s safe to assume Vancouver retailers will draw large crowds. While massive gatherings are typical, Vancouverites are usually calm and respectful.
Here are our favourite clips of the shopping mania in metro Vancouver from past years:
Boxing Day 1997 – Overnight lineup of electronic shoppers at A&B Sound on Seymour Street in Vancouver
Boxing Day 2008 – Talk about a line for the SkyTrain at Metrotown shopping mall
Boxing Day 2011 – 6am door crashers at a Best Buy in Vancouver
Boxing Day 2012 – Idle No More movement blocks traffic at Granville & Georgia Street with song and dance
Notable mention goes to Future Shop (rest in peace) and this video of staff getting pumped up at 4am for the big day:
