Posted on: Wednesday, 1 July 2009, 20:13 CDT

NORTHRIDGE, Calif., July 1 /PRNewswire/ -- On April 15, 2009, the Public Works and Government Services Canada along with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police awarded Contemporary Security Canada the contract to provide security screening services for the upcoming 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Vancouver and Whistler, British Columbia. Damon Zumwalt, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Contemporary Services Corporation (CSC) has launched Contemporary Security Canada (also identified as CSC) specifically to provide services in Vancouver and Whistler, British Columbia, where it will be responsible for a security workforce of approximately 5000 licensed and trained security staff and will operate throughout all the Olympic and Paralympic venues. The contract award includes a provision of scaling costs according to hours required operationally and provides a maximum of $97.419 million (CAD) to execute the program.

Mr. Zumwalt established Contemporary Security Canada in partnership with Stephen V. Mirabile, who will oversee the project and client relations with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Public Works and Government Services Canada. Additionally, Mr. Mirabile will manage the relationship with "CSC's" local Canadian partners, United Protection Security Group based in Alberta, and Aeroguard based in Ontario. Mr. Mirabile, who is also the President and Chief Operating Officer for Contemporary International, a sister company of CSC, states that "with over 42 years of experience, we will certainly need to draw on the resources and talent of CSC North America; after all, they provide similar services for over 7,000 events annually across North America."

Mr. Zumwalt, who founded Contemporary Services Corporation almost 42 years ago, has essentially developed many of the standards and practices used throughout the event security industry today. Evolving from its concert security beginnings into a full-spectrum crowd management firm, Contemporary Services Corporation and its sister companies provide a holistic approach to the event security industry and provide services to an esteemed group of clientele, including more than 100 stadiums and arenas, over 75 universities, more than 20 convention centers, and numerous clients in the MLB, MLS, NBA, NFL, NHL, and NASCAR. Mr. Zumwalt and his team are "very excited about extending the Contemporary Services brand of performance and expertise into the Canadian market and are extremely honored to provide customized crowd management and security services for the most prestigious event in the world." www.csc-usa.com
