This Day in History, 1925: B.C. bars reopen after eight dry years

54% Informative
Eighteen beer parlours were opened in Vancouver on March 21, 1925 .
B.C. had adopted Prohibition on Oct. 1, 1917 , after a public referendum.
But it was rejected by voters in another referendum in 1920 , and it was repealed on June 15, 1921 .
Prohibition was initially defeated in the 1916-17 referendum.
But the result was overturned when the vote by B.C. soldiers fighting in Europe was tallied and added in March, 1917 .
Over half the soldier vote was thrown out, and Prohibition was declared.
“There were some dodgy things about that referendum in 1917 ,” said Campbell .
