Thanks for the info, jlousa.

So, this is basically like the BC-Canada pavilions in Turino and Beijing except Vancouver-specific, yes? Sounds like a worthwhile investment. Hopefully it will be as good or better in design-quality and informativeness as the other two (and hopefully more popular of an attraction than the one in Beijing).

Ditto the above comment.

I like the proposal, but I laughed out loud with that one line (before I had even read the comment).

I think the words they were searching for were something along the lines of "consumers increasingly . . ."

I don't think people have stopped consuming products ; ).

Didn't you guys get the memo? I got the memo.
We are now a post consumer society.

Should be interesting to see what the pavillion will look like. Maybe something like the pavillion they built in London would be cool.
