Part of the seawall path around Stanley Park is closed due to some work they're doing on part of the wall. From the debris around the site last week, it seemed that part of the face had just collapsed. In any case, they've knocked down much of the rock that was adjacent, and it didn't look too dangerous to me. So I decided to hop the fence to walk around the sea wall today. Of course, I managed to pick a time when two cops on bikes were patrolling the path. As soon as I saw them approaching, I thought, "well, it's only Vancouver, no need to be alarmed". Sure enough, the two women didn't give me a ticket. I like to think that it was because I was bare-chested at the time.
