Will the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games be one of the greenest games on record? In coming weeks, travelinggreener will look at sustainability at the 2010 Vancouver Games.
This week, the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad will launch in Canada, leading up to the February event and run through March during the Paralympic Winter Games.
Says Burke Taylor, vice president of culture and celebrations for the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC):
“We want all Canadians to feel they can share in the cultural celebrations surrounding the 2010 Winter Games in their own hometowns. For our second and final Cultural Olympiad National Presentation and Touring Program, we’ve worked closely with our corporate, government and artistic partners to create an exciting lineup of Canadian projects that include ballet, theatre, up-and-coming musicians, and even puppetry. We invite everyone to come out when they stop in your area and enjoy a taste of the cultural excitement of the Games.”
