Vancouver clean-up crews worked overnight to tidy Sunset Beach park after 4/20 celebrations attracted 40,000 revellers who left their mark on the football-sized field, a park board official said. The 140 vendors and thousands of patrons damaged the soggy field and left piles of tenting, garbage and food behind. Every year the event, which is not sanctioned by the park board, draws ire over the mess left behind. (Gian Paulo Mendoza/CBC)The hope is the area will be restore in time for Canada Day, said park board chair Stuart MacKinnon. The concern is that all the garbage left behind may get punched down into the soil.
