The 2009 World Police & Fire Games took place between July 31st and August 9, 2009 at over 40 venues (WPFG: http://www.2009wpfg.ca/) for 10,577 athletes, making it the biggest event in WPFG history. As the Official Supplier, Ampco Grafix has produced banners, signage, flags and other graphics used for event ceremonies, venues and streets in Greater Vancouver.
The CEO of 2009 WPFG, Mr. Stu Ballantyne, has commented: “Thank you … for everything you … have done to make us look so good. The graphics and banners are simply outstanding” (July, 2009).
SignMedia Canada awarded Ampco Grafix as the Winner for Out-of-home Advertising for their National Sign Competition for the window graphics project for CTV in Vancouver.
The Games will start on July 31st. Back in Nov. 2008, Don Hardman, Vice President and General Manager of the 2009 World Police and Fire Games has announced that Ampco has been selected to be their official supplier of the graphics, banners and signage for their Games being held next year in Burnaby. This success has been led by Ampco’s past work with the 2006 World Juniors and the 2007 Memorial Cup.
