Welcome

Working within the Ministry of Healthy Living and Sport, the British Columbia 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Secretariat (BC Secretariat) is the provincial agency responsible for overseeing British Columbia’s Winter Games financial commitments and ensuring our Olympic vision is achieved.

The primary role of the BC Secretariat is to provide the strategic leadership, coordination and oversight to ensure the Province meets its financial infrastructure and service commitments. The Province has committed $600 million to the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games’ venue construction, endowments and legacies.

The BC Secretariat also has a key role in ensuring the sustainable economic, cultural, sport and social opportunities associated with hosting the 2010 Winter Games are identified early and fully realized. It is a key goal that these opportunities evolve into enduring legacies for communities and businesses throughout British Columbia.
