Vancouver Announces Sydney-Style Nightlife Lockout Laws
City officials in Vancouver have just passed Sydney-style nightlife lockout laws that will prevent clubs from accepting people anytime past 2am.
Starting in July, clubs on Granville Street will be barred from accepting entry past 2am. The Last Entry program begins on July 1st and will only be effective on bars and clubs in the Granville Entertainment District. They will be allowed to stay open until 3am but will not be able to allow patrons to enter past 2am in an effort to curb what the city calls “rising rates of crime and violence in the Downtown area”.
