Error Calling Stored Procedure with DATE and TIME datatypes from SSIS

When calling a stored procedure using an OLE DB Command from SSIS to a stored procedure that has a DATE or TIME parameter, you will get the following error:

An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.  An OLE DB record is available.  Source: "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0"  Hresult: 0x80004005  Description: "Operand type clash: int is incompatible with date"

The quick fix to this is to change the parameter type in the stored procedure to a varchar(50).
Some blogs recommend changing it to DATETIME, but the range of DATETIME is much smaller than DATE and will truncate.
