Free Outdoor Raptors Viewing Parties
According to reports, the proposed event would be a free outdoor, all-ages event that’ll have stages and food trucks.
Wiebe has been in discussions with the NBA about creating our very “Jurassic Park West” in šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énk Square (the Vancouver Art Gallery North Plaza).
Many have seen on TV the energy and excitement outside of Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena, which has been appropriately dubbed Jurassic Park.
