Stunning comments from the Executive Director of the Electrical Contractors Association of BC.
Debra Cahill says "some electrical code regulations were not met at some venues" during the Winter Olympics.
Cahill says concerns were raised even before the Olympics when the pavilions were going up if Canadian electrical code standards were being met. she says there were 'huge' concerns expressed about proper grounding on some of the bandstands and fire code regulations in general that weren't being met.
".....You want to make sure everything is meeting to Canadian standards to the electrical code and I'm not exactly certain that those were met and I know that those were concerns that were raised during the time that the Olympics were starting to take place."
Cahill also says some inspectors weren't even allowed into some sites.
Cahill says her request to Mayor Gregor Robertson's office for a meeting has gone unanswered.
