Vancouver's $900M convention centre springs a leak

CBC NEWS:

A water leak at Vancouver's new convention centre has reportedly flooded two floors and forced 1,000 delegates of a Public Service Alliance convention out onto the street. One worker said the situation is bad and the damaged flooring may have to be replaced. In the meantime, convention delegates have been told to return to their hotels and come back at 2 p.m. PT for an update. Officials with the convention centre have yet to comment on the leak. The Vancouver Convention Centre was opened earlier this month at a cost of nearly $900 million, and is slated to be the main international press centre and broadcast facility during the upcoming 2010 Winter Games in February.
