Believe in 2010 Athletes

The Rogers-CTV Globemedia consortium has just launched an advertising campaign inspiring Canadians to believe in our 2010 athletes.

The BELIEVE ads, which are airing on CTV now, are narrated by veteran actor Donald Sutherland and are set to the music of Howard Shore -- the Oscar-winning composer who wrote the music for the acclaimed Lord of the Rings film trilogy.

Ticket Update

Well, it's now December 10, 2008 and the tickets that have been allocated to those who applied are supposed to have been processed and billed with email notification coming today.

We have to be honest here and say that we have not yet seen a charge on our Visa, nor has the available balance decreased in relation to a charge that's pending.

We've still got our fingers crossed and we'll have to wait and see.

We'll keep you updated as we learn more.

Additional tickets are scheduled to be made available starting December 12.
