The Impact of the Olympics on Community Coalition (IOCC), a Vancouver-based NGO claiming to be neither pro- nor anti-Olympics has given the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics a D minus grade based on their research into the impact the Games will have on the surrounding community. The group said it would give an outright F if it weren't for the amount of time the Games have left to solve the problems it sees.
Among the issues the group wants address are the rising homelessness rate due to increased rents, and the protection of grizzly bear habitats in the Callaghan Valley, which will be home to Nordic ski events during the Games.
