Britannia Meetings

By BOB MACKIN, 24 HOURS

Britannia Centre directors will continue to mull whether Britannia Rink should be a hockey practice venue during the 2010 Winter Olympics.

The controversial matter is on the agenda for tonight's 6 p.m. board meeting. Directors are expected to deal with "continued development of questions for VANOC and City of Vancouver."

The board voted May 14 to delay its decision until VANOC submitted a formal proposal that includes information on costs and the impact of security on the Commercial Drive neighbourhood. It may be an exercise in futility because VANOC's board decided May 21 to examine other sites for hockey practice sessions.
