The Games have the capacity to inspire people of all ages, prompt community celebration and pride, foster unity, embrace diversity and instill a genuine spirit of peace in us all. Through the Games we can become nation-builders, champions at home and at play and we can become better citizens of the world.

Although the 2010 Winter Games will be held in Vancouver, the Games belong to us all – to all Canadians and to everyone around the world who share with us the ideal of a world made better through sport and the sharing of our many different cultures.

Come and join us – as a spectator, a worker, a volunteer, a fan – and be part of an extraordinary experience. It will be the time of our lives!
