Ten years ago, Canadians welcomed the world with glowing hearts and filled venues and streets with red and white to celebrate the Olympic and Paralympic spirit. Vancouver 2010 touched lives, inspired communities, put a spotlight on the Canadian spirit, and in the face of impossible odds and compelling adversity, showed the world what it means to be truly Canadian.

On February 22, 2020 we will celebrate the 10-Year Anniversary of the Games with a can’t miss Fan Festival and Gala Dinner.
