VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - The countdown is on--the World Police and Fire Games are from July 31st to August 9th in various regions of the Lower Mainland. The flag representing the Games was presented today at Vancouver Police headquarters, while announcing some of the local VPD officers taking part in the Games.
CEO Stu Ballantyne says this is the like Olympics for emergency workers around the globe. "A lot of the athletes take this very seriously. You're going to see some very high level, elite sports, and all of our athletic competitions (with the exception of the shooting events) will be open and free to the public."
