Do you smell what The Rock is Cooking? Vancouver certainly has.

The city has been the subject of frequent praise from the movie star, who is currently shooting his latest film in Vancouver – a project that brings at least 3,000 jobs to town.

So, as a way of saying thanks for everything, Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson honoured Dwayne Johsnon by declaring Oct. 19 “Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Day.â€

On Thursday night, Robertson presented Johnson with an official proclamation on the set of Skyscraper.

“Vancouver is the Greenest City in (the) World and The Rock makes the most ‘green’ with films generating worldwide revenue over $2 Billion,†. It also cited Johnson’s charitable work with children through The Rock Foundation, his short-lived CFL career, as well as how his “iconic fanny pack has become a style statement the world over.â€

“Yes, we do smell what The Rock is cookin’,†the proclamation concludes. “I, Gregor Robertson, Mayor of the City of Vancouver, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM OCTOBER 19, 2017 as DWAYNE ‘THE ROCK’ JOHNSON DAY.â€

The only problem? The proclamation, which was issued on the night of Oct. 19, was only made public the following day, essentially denying the people of Vancouver the chance to properly celebrate.

Still, on Friday, Johnson posted a video of himself happily receiving the proclamation from Roberston on his , calling it “such a cool (and bad ass) honor†and Roberston “such a cool guy.â€

“Thank you Mayor and your staff for being so gracious and welcoming to myself and our entire production crew to your city,†Johnson concluded. “Vancouver will always hold a special place in my DNA.â€
