The 2010 Winter Games are being dubbed the "sustainable Olympics," but is Vancouver really setting any world records? In this month's Briefing we examine some lessons from the global spectacle. First we look at the venues that Canada constructed for the upcoming Winter Games, to see if they win any green medals.
Pulse Energy is making it possible for you to watch real-time energy consumption at the Olympic venues. Denis Du Bois talks with the company's co-founder, David Helliwell.
Seven years after winning the bid, how are Canadians feeling about the upcoming games? We hear about the public-opinion wins and losses from Vaughn Palmer, a political columnist with the Vancouver Sun.
Green business guru Martin Westerman shares his thoughts about how to really make the games green.
The Building Priorities Briefing is an audio program with transcript.
