Introduction
In 2010, as host of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, the attention of the world will be focused on Canada. This will be our time to shine - our time to show the world who we are and what we can do.
As Host Mountain Resort for the 2010 Winter Games, Whistler is in a unique position. It has a tremendous opportunity, matched by an equal measure of responsibility, to represent the province and the nation, and showcase the country to the world. Whistler also recognizes the value of hosting the Games as a vehicle for deriving sustainable economic, environmental and social benefits for the community and its residents.
To capitalize on this opportunity, the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW), working with its many partners, is taking a strategic approach that allows Whistler to:
- Effectively leverage Games-related opportunities for the long-term benefit of the community.
- Successfully deliver on its Games commitments in a fiscally responsible manner.
- Collaborate with and support its partners in the delivery of extraordinary Games.
This document identifies the benefits and anticipated costs for the RMOW associated with staging the Games.
THE GAMES OPPORTUNITY
There is no other opportunity that draws the attention of the world - to the same extent and with such compelling ideals - as the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Games have the capacity to inspire people of all ages, prompt community celebration, foster unity, embrace diversity and instil genuine spirit of pride. The Games represent excellence and achievement and are a source of inspiration, empowerment and partnership. |
