Love-themed installations are popping up all around Vancouver this month (CONTEST)

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and Vancouver is feeling the love.

Colourful love-themed street installations are popping up in select retail neighbourhoods throughout the city this February, and by discovering them, you can be in with the chance to win some fantastic prizes.

The Love Your City contest, a city-wide initiative hosted by 15 Business Improvement Associations, is encouraging Vancouverites to get out and explore some of their local neighbourhoods, where they can find glistening lights, life-size candy hearts, window decals, street decals, and all kinds of heartwarming odes to love. 

Participating neighbourhoods include West 4th Avenue, Yaletown, South Granville, Robson, Mount Pleasant, West End, and more.
