VANCOUVER: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) today called for full disclosure of all Olympic-related costs in the wake of the B.C. government's release of its Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games cost estimate. The government report showed a financial commitment of $765 million and a hosting activity cost $160 million for a total of $925 million. This figure, however, leaves out many additional Olympic-related costs such as crown corporation tickets, paid ‘volunteers,’ and any of the Olympic-spawned capital projects.
