In March of 2018, 18 years after being banned from the Empress Hotel in British Columbia, Novia Scotia resident Nick Burchill wrote them a letter and asked for forgiveness. Three days later, by which point his letter had been reprinted online and read by millions, the ban was lifted.
Benedict Cumberbatch performed this letter at Letters Live at the Royal Albert Hall, London in October 2022.
