Except, that doesn't appear to be entirely accurate - do you have a reference?

Any current reporting on the subject suggests there's *some* remaining in a
variety of places around Vancouver (could be anywhere, I guess), but according
to a Sun article from this year "...these offensive clauses were made
unenforceable in 1978...".  West Vancouver in particular has been
investigating how to clean up any remaining ones like this, so people can stop
getting nasty surprises.

I figured I should add in this context, as your message was sitting around for
a couple of weeks now without further clarity.
