Anti-Olympics protesters disrupted a VANOC event today in Ottawa. The event was meant to celebrate the unveiling of the Omega Countdown Clock, a clock counting down to the 2010 Olympic Games.

Roughly 25 protesters, many affiliated with the People’s Global Action group, stormed the event with banners saying “no Olympics on stolen native land” and “occupation anywhere resistance everywhere”. The group made their way to the front of the stage where they proceeded to disrupt the whole event, chanting “no Olympics on stolen native land” and “homes not games”.

No arrests were made. A larger anti-Olympics, anti-SPP and anti-G8 march is planned for February 12th.
