Transportation of Dangerous Goods for Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics

Please note that in the interest of the safety and security of the public and participants in the 2010 Olympic Games, the transportation of certain dangerous goods in and around the Vancouver/Whistler and surrounding areas will be controlled during the games.

This risk based interim order responds to requirements built on the work of the Vancouver 2010 Security Surface Technical Working Group and consultation with Industry and input from Transport Canada. The order establishes twelve controlled access zones where the transport of certain dangerous goods into, through or within a zone are subject to controls.

All other aspects of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992, its regulations and standards continue to apply within and outside the twelve controlled access zones. TDG inspectors will be enforcing this requirement as well as all other requirements established under the Act, regulations and standards during the games.

Kindly refer to the attached link for Transport Canada's proposed DG restrictions during the Vancouver Olympics.
