G8 countdown begins

Security briefing full of glitches


HUNTSVILLE - There were toys – tanks, helicopters and gadgets. The Integrated Security Unit put on a show on Sunday at the Canada Summit Centre.

The national media was out in full force and everyone from young families to senior citizens were cruising the parking lot adjacent to the centre to check out the security hardware that will be on the streets of Huntsville, in the air and on guard in case of emergencies during the G8 Summit.

The Integrated Security Unit, comprised of the Ontario Provincial Police, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Canadian Forces, put on the show for the people of Huntsville, and the people of Canada via the television cameras that caught the act.

Kids played in the army vehicles, dressed up like soldiers and took turns pretending to fly the helicopter. Families wandered the lot, chatting with security personnel, paramedics and soldiers in fatigues.

Lets not forget there are two fiasco's coming up. G20 in Toronto and G8 in Huntsville. Tom
