The single paralympic ones are $150 and the plain blue and green ones are $250. I was hoping just to get a single olympic one for $150...$350 is kind of pricey, but I guess it's for a good cause. I wonder if you get a tax receipt? haha

Any chance any more of this one will be made available or is that it?

Also, are you selling all of the banners or is the city selling any of them another way?

Wow! Thanks for the updated information. I just ordered a pair of the reduced price ones, and am very excited. For just placing on a wall in our den, I actually like the idea of the ones that are a bit more subtle so this works well.

In addition to the question above, do you know when they'll ship? I received a default "7 to 10 business day" message about delivery in the confirmation when I placed the order. But I suspect that mean 7 to 10 business days from when the banners are all taken down, packaged, and then shipped out since a number of them are still up about town. So I'm thinking it may be a month or two before the orders are sent. Is that assumption correct?

If your priority is to get banners, rather than help Haiti , City of Richmond will be selling its Olympic banners and fence wraps at similar prices in April. Most of them are the same as Vancouver's, but some are unique to Richmond. The one that G.O.B. wants is included in the PDF:
