Whistler is inviting the community to pull out their red mittens, blue volunteer jackets, white torchbearer suits, and cowbells.
The celebrations for the 2010 Olympics begin this February and March.
RMOW is planning a two-month period of exciting programming with plans to bring the entire community together and provide a reunion for all who participated in the Games – from organizers, to volunteers, to torch bearers to the athletes who competed, to athletes who were inspired, to enthusiastic spectators and more.
“The magic that came to our mountain town during the incredible 27 days of the 2010 Games continues to permeate everything we do in both tangible and intangible ways,” said Whistler Mayor Jack Crompton.
“We lived the dream, and history was made when the world came to our doorstep – it was a once in a lifetime opportunity that surpassed all expectations. Now, let’s celebrate as a community what the Games meant for Whistler, and reunite to relive that magic.”
Exact dates for the programming are February 12 to 28 and March 12 to 21, 2020. Programming details will be released soon.
