rounding communities,

hic plannt

said Don Calder.

Calder is the chief execu-
tive officer oof — the
Vancouver/Whistler 2010
Bid Corporation.

District council on Nov. 13,
said the games could gener-
ate approximately 25,000
jobs and over $1.2 billion in

traffic volume to. the}
Vancouver area. The. region
already can barely handle is}
traffic.

planning developments.

ing at community facilities in
