See You In....Court

Jane Roos, the woman who put the B. brothers and VanK into Roots ads and started the "See You In…" fund for Canadian athletes, has had a run-in with the COC. You can read how they misappropriated her trademarks in the Ottawa Citizen.
Jane, always a big supporter of paddlers, was at C.B.’s retirement party with her husband and gorgeous baby girl. I hadn’t been on their website since the summer Olympics so decided to go see what’s up. Nothing about their pending court case but they’re selling a great silver zipper charm as a fundraiser (just $40). I’ve purchased a couple (so you may get one as a gift if you have a winter birthday) and hope they have something similar for the summer games. If you have any doubt about the benefits of Jane's fund, ask one of our Olympians - 11 of Canada's 12 medalists in Greece applied for and received grants from the fund prior to the 2004 games.
