VANOC monopolizes public ad space

[1]Redeye

The upcoming 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver was the focus of a Redeye special on October 18. From that show, we bring you a variety of different perspectives on the Olympics from security to housing to resistance.

For the ten weeks surrounding the 2010 Olympics, no-one will be able to buy advertising in a public space unless they are sanctioned by the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Winter Olympics.

VANOC has made a blanket purchase of every major supply of ad space in outdoor and public venues in the Lower Mainland for the 10 weeks surrounding the Games.

The BC Civil Liberties Association have made a complaint to the Competition Bureau. We speak with BCCLA president Robert Holmes.
