Vancouver City Council revised its civic protocol policy to prohibit illumination in foreign national colors.

Vancouver City Council has revised its civic protocol policy to prohibit the illumination of City Hall and the Burrard Bridge in colors representing other countries' national days. This shift aims to prioritize local events, reflecting the program's original intent from 2016. The change follows public controversy over the illumination for Israel's Independence Day, and the council plans to focus on local cultural, health, and sporting events instead.
