Regarding the spelling, although scrolling can be somewhat annoying, a "2" replacing "to" seems somewhat cheesy and it reminds me of cheap tourist T-shirts. In my opinion, scrolling on the signs would be less of an annoyance than "Welcome 2 Canada" ~ It’s great to hear about all of the work and progress that’s being accomplished in preparation for the Olympics!
