Vancouver cleans up after riot
Just hours after the Vancouver riots began, people started organizing on Facebook and Twitter to co-ordinate a volunteer clean-up.
A Twitter account and Facebook page got the ball rolling late Wednesday night.
Thursday morning, people posted pictures and updates, some using the hashtags #vancouvercleanup and #thisismyvancouver, which became trending topics in the city.
The boarded-up storefront windows became message boards for people to express their regret for the riot and their love of the city.
A Vancouver police car also became a bulletin board of sorts as it became covered with hundreds of sticky notes with messages of thanks.
