Where will the winter sports WORLD go to party in 2010 … Vancouver, British Columbia.

Vancouver is hosting the 2010 Winter Games … a grand honor for this world class town; a vibrant cosmopolitan city dramatically set on the Pacific Ocean.

17 days of Olympic Games events – Feburary 12-28, 2010
10 day of Paralympic Games event - February 12-21, 2010

People worldwide will converge on Vancouver … all seeking shelter for the grand event. But not you … for your fully furnished 2 bedroom and 2 bath luxury condo is nestled in the Residences on Georgia. No worries about flights or hotels, you are within driving distance (less than 2 hours) to the grand event at Whistler Blackcomb, the official Alpine Skiing Venue of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

Vancouver and Whistler will welcome over 5000 top and most inspiring athletes from more than 80 countries. Athletes that will push their skills and strength to their limits in hopes of returning home with the GOLD.

Per John Furlong, VANOC Chief Executive Officer, “In 2010, British Columbia and Canada will host some of the most memorable and inspirational moments in sport history by showcasing the extraordinary achievements of Paralympic athletes from around the world. Between the Paralympic Sport Events taking place in the winter of 2009, and the staging of the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games in both Vancouver and Whistler, the world will be introduced to a new group of heroes who will change perceptions of sport and create role models for future generations.”

All eyes will be on Vancouver from now to February 2010.

The countdown is on … at the corner of Hornby and Georgia Streets (about 5 blocks from your condo) sits the Offical Countdown Clock. Spectators gasp at its enormous size – measuring three metres wide, more than six metres high and weighing 1,170 kilograms. Showcasing the urban and natural settings of the 2010 Winter Games, this steal and glass CLOCK reflects the thriving metorpolis of Vancouver and the ice and snow at the heart of the winter sport.

This grand clock is a reminder of Vancouver’s small-town spirit, big-city facilities and world-class exposure. And of course, the Canadian spirit of hospitality, multiculturalism and athleticism.

Velvet ropes and large bouncers check the crowd before entry. With two dance floors, this club is where the dancers go. This club is the true “seen and be seen” club.

Dance or read, Vancouver has you covered. Not ready to dance the night away, curl up with a good book at Legend’s Grill & Tap Room, 2 minutes from home, a great place to sip a drink and read.
