A Decade Later
Ten years ago, the Vancouver 2010 Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games united the nation, forever changing the sport landscape in Canada. The Games were a once-in-a-lifetime experience for athletes, officials, and Canadian communities from coast to coast. Canadians welcomed the world with glowing hearts and filled venues and streets with red and white to celebrate the Olympic and Paralympic spirit.
The legacy of Vancouver 2010 is evident by both the impact of the Games and in the increased funding and support that sport has seen over the past decade. Team Canada has seen record-breaking performances over the past decade, thanks in large part to the momentum generated by Vancouver 2010. On February 22, 2020 we will celebrate the 10-Year Anniversary of the Games and their lasting legacy.
The Vancouver 2010 Celebration Gala will raise an anticipated $1,000,000 for the next generation of Team Canada athletes as they continue on their path to the podium. We’ll honor the past and look to the future of sport in Canada.
