The Celebration of Light has wrapped up another year of explosive sky shows.
The annual fireworks celebrations is the largest event each year in Vancouver, with hundreds of thousands watching at least some of the event from somewhere in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»each night.
This year, teams from Malaysia, Portugal, and the U.K. entertained the crowds, along with airshows from Red Bull planes.
However, how popular is it with locals?

It seems support for the event is average in the city, with just over half of respondents in favour of it (around 56 per cent).
