The efforts from the citizens cleaning up and helping out has been phenomenal. All the plywood used to replace the windows (of which there are actually 100+) have been completely covered now with sharpie'd and painted messages of support/shame/thanks and just plain emotion about the whole event. A police cruiser that was parked overnight on Granville was completely covered with post-it messages of thanks and support, too. This kind of response is from the true proud and responsible people of Vancouver. The streets were cleaned up by thousands of people who volunteered and took time off just to help clean up, they're cleaner now than they were to begin with.
