If you can’t wait till Rio, you can catch the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics in just a few months. Get your fill of skating, skiing, and boarding competitions during the snowiest contests in the world. Hockey will take center stage as a team sport, especially due to its hockey-loving host country, but Vancouver’s brand, “With Glowing Hearts” will touch upon each sport, regardless of popularity.
Vancouver’s sustainability efforts are much different than any other host city in history. Aside from saving millions of dollars and environmental resources by re-using venues, Vancouver has also pioneered a hand-in-hand project with the country’s Aboriginal citizens. Participation from its “four nations” of indigenous people has been widely recognized by the IOC as groundbreaking and inspiring for the Olympic Movement. Athletes, volunteers, employees, entrepreneurs, artists, and cultural ambassadors are all working together to celebrate the key elements of Olympic values.
We’ve created a travel guide for your Vancouver Olympics travel needs, which details the venues, sports, athletes and events you won’t want to miss in February.
It all starts when the torch leaves Athens on a transatlantic flight to Canada, and it is carried through some of the most sacred areas of British Columbia, the Northwest Territories, Manitoba, Ontario, Prince Edward Islands, Quebec, and Yukon.
