Vancouver Winter 2010 Vancouver On the World Stage Again
Vancouver
Winter 2010 will see the city and
Whistler host the Winter Olympic Games and the
Paralympics Winter Games.
Whistler B.C. is a few
hours along the
Sea To Sky Highway from Vancouver. The way up is a very scenic route as you
drive by smaller towns like Squamish, Britannia Beach and Britannia Mines where
you can sometimes see
bald eagles swimming in the ocean.
The
Winter Olympic sports held in Vancouver are the reasons that we're getting new:
-
ice skating rinks
-
curling rinks
-
hockey rinks and speed skating facilities in Vancouver proper as well as in
the suburbs for future generations to enjoy the winter
sports
There
will be television networks from all over the world covering these events during
the Vancouver Winter 2010 Games.
The
last time Vancouver stepped on the world stage and into the limelight as a
world-class city was during the World Expo of 1986 or "Expo 86" as it was called.
Once
again Vancouver steps into the limelight showing that it is a world class city.
We
have been making preparations for years with a new
rapid transit system to take
you from the airport directly into to the city and
Vancouver airport
improvements to expand the
airport.
With all
the new hotels and accommodations in the city Vancouver with its population of
just over 2 million people expects to almost double during Vancouver Winter
2010.
Of
course many of the people who come here during the winter will also want to see
the natural beauty of the city and return in the summer and the spring and the
fall.
Below is
a photograph of the statue that looks over
English Bay that has also become the symbol of the Vancouver Winter 2010
Olympic Games.
I'm sure that many thousands or even hundreds of thousands of
people will either see this statue in person and have a pictures taken of it
or see it televised around the world.
