In 2003, the city of Vancouver won the competition to host the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. The Olympic Games will be held February 12-28, 2010; and the Paralympic Games will be held March 12-21, 2010.
Although 2010 may appear to be a distant date in the future, the reality is that many of the over US$7 billion dollars worth of projects directly and indirectly related to the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games are starting NOW, so it is critical to establish key business relationships in British Columbia ASAP in order to take advantage of the bonanza of opportunities that have been created as a result of 2010.
The Olympics sports facilities are scheduled to be completed by 2008, two years prior to the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, in order to hold international competitions at those sites prior to the Games as part of the preparation process.
