Hopefully they will have the equipment to keep the roads passable so that people can actually get to the venues. The city of PG seems incapable of doing it.
What are the financial arrangements for Finning Canada in this role? The article provides a fairly good description of the need and activities but does not clearly state if it is an absolute donation, a partial sponsorship or a full fee for service contract.
Just curious.
Maybe they are banking on the need to haul in snow like the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics? They had to haul it in by truck and then use bulldozers to spread it over the ski hills! Finning has all that equipment… soooo…
