Much like at the G8 conference held in Kananaskis, Alberta in 2002 the Canadian Armed Forces will likely have Griffon helicopters on hand for patrols.
19 CH-146 Griffons are currently being upgraded with infrared surveillance systems.
The Forces will probably take over one of the smaller airports in the GVRD during the Olympics as their staging ground. Possible airports include Boundary Bay Airport, Langley City Airport, or part of the South Terminal at YVR.
The 2010 G8 convention will also be held in Canada though a location has yet to be announced.
