B.C. wood will be famous
Today is Thursday, March 04, 2010
Yesterday, VANOC revealed some details about the podiums where world's athletes will mount, in order to receive their medals: it will be made of wood from communities across B.C.
Each of the podiums is made of more than 200 slabs of wood, arranged vertically like the grill of a truck.
From above, the podium is supposed to resemble Vancouver Island.
The pieces were donated from 23 community forests, First Nations and businesses across the province — yellow cedar from Campbell River, birch from Clearwater, spruce from Merritt.
“In giving their wood to VANOC, they’re saying, ‘We’re part of these Games,’” said Premier Gordon Campbell. “‘We’re showing the world who we are as British Columbians.’”

Initially I read "weed". Then I slowly realized it's "wood"....
