    SUBJECT: Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics: Situation Report #12

    ¶1.  (SBU) The following report provides security-related
    information for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games as of noon
    on February 22, 2010. Please visit the following link for
    additional classified reporting:
    https://nol.nctc.sgov.gov/ng/cgi-bin/nctcHome .cgi?event=Vancouver_2
    ¶010. The interagency USG Joint Operations Center can be contacted
    on a 24-hour basis at 604-692-2509, ext 4013.

    ¶2.  (U//FOUO//LES) Canadian and USG authorities are currently
    unaware of any specific, credible threats to the Games. Though the
    frequency of organized demonstrations has diminished since February
    15, ad hoc protest activity at event and public locations remains a
    concern. Canadian security officials indicate anti-Olympics groups
    may stage limited demonstrations as the Games draw to a close.

    SECURITY ISSUES

    ¶3.  (U) U.S. Defeats Canada 5-3 in Group A Hockey; No Significant
    Incidents - Local law enforcement authorities had expressed concern
    over the potentially contentious nature of last night's U.S. -
    Canada match and its impact on public order. To mitigate the
    potential for alcohol-fueled incidents, Canada Hockey Place ceased
    alcohol sales early in the third period.  Additionally, the
    Vancouver Police Department enacted a 7 p.m. closing time for
    public and private liquor stores in the downtown area and increased
    the number of officers on duty.  Despite the presence of some
    200,000 people on the streets, the evening passed without
    significant incident.

    Protests:

    ¶4.  (U) February 21 Protest Activity - No Olympics-related protests
    occurred February 21.

    ¶5.  (U) Current Protest Activity - There are no Olympics-related
    protests scheduled for today, February 22.

    ¶6.  (U) Anticipated Protest Activity - On February 24, activists
    plan to stage a "Share the Gold" human chain protest in the
    Downtown East Side from 4:45 - 5:15pm PST.  Demonstrators hope to
    form a chain of individuals for three blocks along either side of
    East Hastings Street, between Carrall Street and Gore Avenue.  The
    protest will likely be peaceful, but may cause minor traffic
    disruptions.

    ¶7.  (U) Bicyclists and skaters plan to participate in a "Critical
    Mass Bike Ride" departing from the Vancouver Art Gallery around 6
    p.m. on February 26. This recurring event is taking place as
    regularly scheduled and is not anti-Olympics in nature; however,
    the route is unknown and could affect the Men's Hockey Semi-Final
    game at 6:30 p.m. at Canada Hockey Place. Minor traffic disruptions
    are expected.

    ¶8.  (U) A "Games Over! Resistance Lives!" demonstration is
    scheduled to occur from 1 to 3pm PST on February 28 at the
    intersection of Smithe and Cambie Streets. The event is advertised
    as a "noisy public festival to celebrate our communities and our
    resistance."  This demonstration is being touted on the militant
    activist website www.no2010.com.

    Incidents:

    ¶9.  (U)  No Olympics-related security incidents occurred during
    this reporting period.

    Threats:

    ¶10.  (SBU) At this time, there are no known specific, credible
    transnational terrorist threats against the Vancouver Olympics.

    SECURITY OPERATIONS

    ¶11.  (SBU) Other than scheduled USOC and team movements, no major
    Olympics-related security operations have transpired during this
    reporting period.

    ¶12.  (SBU) Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet
    Napolitano, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius,
    and US Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice will visit Vancouver from
    February 25 to March 1.  These VIPs are tentatively scheduled to
    attend various competition venues as well as the closing
    ceremonies.

    PUBLIC AFFAIRS/PUBLIC DIPLOMACY

    ¶13.  There is no significant information or activity to report.

    CONSULAR ISSUES

    ¶14.   No significant cases to report. No problems after the
    US-Canada hockey game.

    POLITICAL/GENERAL ISSUES

    ¶15.  In a surprising upset Sunday, the U.S. men's hockey team
    defeated Canada 5-3 and advanced to the quarterfinals on Wednesday
    against an unknown opponent.  Following the game, Vancouver was
    remarkably quiet Sunday night.

    ¶16.  A record number of passengers are expected to depart Vancouver

    advise travelers to arrive at the airport up to 4 hours before
    their flight.
