Boxing Day shopping was absolutely insane across Canada this year (PHOTOS)

Canadian bargain-hunters didn’t let the cold weather stop them from hitting the streets and shopping for the latest sales this Boxing Day.

In fact, many Canadian malls saw massive lineups and crowds with shoppers patiently waiting to get their hands on the biggest electronics, apparel and jewellery deals.

Here’s what went down from coast to coast…

Vancouver

Vancouveritres descended on malls and outlets early this Boxing Day, with Pacific Centre seeing the biggest turnout.

There were so many shoppers headed to CF Chinook Centre that the parking lot became absolute chaos, with many shoppers waiting hours just to snag a spot.

However, over at Sunridge Shopping Centre in Calgary, the mall appeared to be pretty calm in comparison.
