With accommodation costs in Vancouver reaching into the thousands of dollars and the recent ticket drop of $17 tickets for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concerts, some fans are looking for cheap places to sleep in Vancouver.

While it may seem like a bad idea to sleep in a car in Canada in December, it’s not illegal to do so in Vancouver. 

It’s actually the parking that might land you in hot water.

“It is not City policy to ticket people sleeping in their vehicles, however, illegally parked vehicles of any kind are subject to the same street and traffic bylaws that govern all parking,” the City of Vancouver tells V.I.A.

Kyla Lee in Vancouver is Awesome: Is it legal to keep backyard chickens in Vancouver?

Some Vancouver residents can keep chickens in their backyard but they may want to reconsider buying a hen house for now.

The City of Vancouver permits residents to have a maximum of four hens, over the age of four months on a lot (no roosters). Owners must register their hens, get permits, and notify the city if they decide not to keep them. 

The Animal Control By-law does not allow residents to keep any other fowl in their backyards. However, a spokesperson for the city tells V.I.A. that it is reviewing the by-law to include more specific details on what bird species may be kept in a backyard coop.

People may also want to carefully consider the risks of handling chicks and wild birds transmitting viruses.
