Vancouver 125 is excited to be involved in the celebrations planned for the one-year anniversary of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games. We’ll be there on the day of the event taking in the festivities and relishing the amazing community spirit we all came to know and love about that magical time.
An array of exciting events and artistic talent will be on display throughout Vancouver the weekend of February 12 for the Olympics anniversary: a free celebration at Robson Square hosted by the Province of BC; LunarFest; free admission to the Vancouver Art Gallery; street hockey games; gorgeous light art installations during Illuminate Yaletown and so much more!
Enjoy the festivities as we share in the joy of looking back at such an important moment of Vancouver’s history. Please feel free to share your thoughts and memories in the comments.
