       2010 Games





It’s Our Time to Shine – Whistler is a Host Venue for the 2010 Winter

Thousands cheered in Village Square as the announcement was made, live from Prague, Czech Republic on July 3 2003, that the IOC had chosen Vancouver-Whistler to host the 2010 Winter Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, just moments ago.

"Whistler was conceived by an Olympic dream almost 40 years ago," said Mayor Hugh O'Reilly. "Today, we're on the way to realizing it. The next seven years are going to be very exciting for Whistler, as we anticipate and prepare to host the world. It's a proud moment, and we share our pride with our neighbours, our province and our country."
