#VanKiss mistletoe smooching frenzy across Vancouver (PHOTOS)

Have you spotted a #VanKiss mistletoe in the streets of downtown Vancouver? Over the past few weeks, the so-called ‘#VanKiss Elves’ were hard at work fabricating and installing the wooden posts and mistletoe.

The group of volunteers say they are trying to make the city more interesting and engaged through their project, which is now in its third year. There were ten mistletoe locations in 2013, but this year they have increased the numbers by erecting a total of 32 mistletoes on lampposts in city streets.
