The Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games are Canada’s
Games!
This is our time to shine, our time to show the world who we

Beyond the showcasing of outstanding athletic and cultural performances,
we believe the Games can touch the soul of our nation. 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!
