Olympics 2030

The Vancouver 2010 Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games transformed British Columbia. The games generated over $1 Billion in local development, helped British Columbia create new industry clusters of expertise, and attracted over 600,000 visitors to the region. These games united our country and showcased our values of collaboration, perseverance, and respect with the world.

Join us as we discuss the potential economic impacts of hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games and what it could mean to our region to host them here in Vancouver in 2030.
