The famous lion statues at the southern end of the Lions Gate Bridge may again be wearing bows and wreaths this holiday season – but not before a little controversy and a lot of mystery.
From 1994-2010, the lions were decorated each year by an anonymous good samaritan. Then, in 2011, the tradition abruptly stopped and the lions were left naked for the holidays.

Top 5 Family-Friendly Holiday Attractions in Vancouver
Over the weekend, Vancouverites living downtown awoke to discover a rare dusting of snow on the streets and in the parks. Overnight flurries had turned the city into a winter wonderland, at least for a couple of hours.
But for a real winter wonderland, complete with feet of fluffy snow, an outdoor skating pond and even a couple of live reindeer, there’s only one place to go in Vancouver: Grouse Mountain.
Grouse’s annual Peak of Christmas celebration is back, Nov. 28-Dec. 24. The event turns the top of Grouse Mountain into a miniature North Pole, roughly 1,000 feet above Vancouver.
