and operation of GM Place
viable by bringing in a new
tenant (the NBA’s Grizzlies)
to join forces with the
Canucks has now set his
sights on landing the 2010

Vancouver/Whister.

Twelve years may scem
like lots of time, but Griffiths
knows that every day counts.

Enter the 2001 Pacific
Games, Many of the world’s
best athletes will be in
Vancouver in ovo years time.
Countries thar will send ath-
letes to the Pacific Games

“The synergy and benefits
that the Pacific Games can
provide for our Winter
Olympics bid are tremen-
dous,” said Griffiths. -
