Military & Police Training In Pemberton For 2010 Olympic Repression

"The Pemberton Airport will soon become ground-zero for military operations, as it hosts training ops by the RCMP and Canadian Forces in advance of the 2010 Olympics.

Pemberton Mayor Jordan Sturdy said at a council meeting Tuesday morning that the Canadian Forces will soon be installing a temporary radar facility at the Pemberton Airport. The facility, Sturdy said, will help security personnel track air activity above the mountains.

Security personnel have already used the airport for what Sturdy called a "bronze training exercise," which consisted of what could have been the "biggest tabletop exercise the RCMP have ever had in Canada.

It's expected that the temporary radar facility will be installed at the airport in time for "silver training" to take place there from Feb. 9 to 13. Sturdy said that training would include ground exercises, but he did not provide further specifics.

Pique reported in August that 1,800 military personnel could find themselves at home in the Sea to Sky corridor during the Olympics."
