The Vancouver bid book had proposed the Olympics begin Feb. 5, 2010, and end Feb. 21. The new dates would see the Games open Feb. 12 and conclude Feb. 28. “The reason for that is to ensure the marketing period is a clear period for the Games to be staged in,” John Furlong, the bid corporation’s president and chief operating officer, said Monday.

Kathryn Aberle, the SFU media relations director who is speaking for management, said one more negotiating meeting is scheduled for Wednesday. But the Canadian Union of Public Employees, which served 72-hour strike notice Friday, has indicated it will start rotating pickets at different university buildings in the coming days. A CUPE bulletin described Monday’s work stoppage and rally as “the first job action by this group, whose aim is to achieve a fair collective agreement. Other actions aimed at disrupting work as usual on all campuses will be announced as they are planned.” The union local, which represents about 750 people who work in offices, labs, libraries, gyms and other university services, has also announced an overtime ban. Aberle has said a challenge both parties face is the edict by the B.C. government Public Sector Employers’ Council that there be no wage increases for public sector employees for three years. Meanwhile, a labour-management dispute at the University of B.C. is heading to mediation or arbitration if members of another CUPE local and UBC’s board of governors agree. CUPE and UBC negotiators plan to use Mark Brown, who has already worked as a mediator in the dispute which has led to union protests that have blocked university entrance roads. NOWIN STOCK UNIFORMS more than you came for CP photo TWo of the three mothballed fast ferries sit at the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre on Monday as a an auction takes place Inside to get rid of them. Auction is final fast ferry chapter by DIRK MEISSNER Canadian Press ; VANCOUVER—An unknown North American buyer paid $>13 million US Monday for British Columbia’s three mothballed fast ferries, a fraction of the $450 million the vessels cost to build. J Seven bidders, including one from Dubai via the Internet, participated in the auction, which took about 15 minutes to complete. Vancouver’s Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers, which conducted the bidding, refused to identify the successful bidder, but sajd there were participants from Canada, the United States, Singapore and China. A spokesman for Crown-owned B.C. Ferries, which commissioned construction of the fast ferries at taxpayers’ expense, said the company needed to sell the vessels to move forward with a new economic agenda. “Our goal was to sell the fast ferries and that’s precisely what’s been done,” said chief executive officer Doug Allen. “It was important to us to bring this to closure. We didn’t fyave any price expectations.” The buyer paid $4.5 million US for two fast ferries and $4 million US for the third vessel. Ritchie Bros, spokesman Randy Wall said the deal will take 10 days to close. The buyers did not want to make an immediate public statement, he said. Allen said the three fast ferries had a book value of $70 million Cdn before the auction. The selling price at the current exchange rate is equivalent to about $19.23 million Cdn. British Columbia’s three aluminum-hulled fast ferries were a huge failed megaproject that helped sink the former New Democratic Party government. The vessels, officially named Pacificats, were originally projected to cost $210 million, but ended up costing more than $450 million. save 20% • all Safety 1st nursery essentials • all cribs & change tables WOMEN'S save 40% women’s selected Liz Claiborne fashions Includes Petites. save 25% • women's ToGo™ casual separates save 25% • men's Mantles'” and ToGo* • women’s selected designer fashions save$15 men’s & junior women's jeans By Tommy leans, CK Jeans, Levi’s*, Guess Jeans, Hot Kiss, Iteda & Indian Motorcycle.
