VANCOUVER, B.C. - Vancouver Olympic officials have delivered their final formal briefing to the International Olympic Committee ahead of the 2010 Games.

IOC member Gerhard Heiberg says the committee has known protests would be an issue since the day Vancouver won the Games.

He says the IOC isn't concerned about them as long as they're legal.

Dave Cobb with the Vancouver committee says they told the IOC that while protests will happen, they believe they will be peaceful.

Both IOC and Vancouver officials also say they remain confident that the contingency plans in place for Cypress Mountain, where spring-like conditions mean there's a lack of snow, are enough to ensure the competitions go ahead.
