Welcome Messages

British Columbia is a special place – a place where innovation and entrepreneurship intertwine with community spirit and participation. A place where we know anything is possible if we can work at it together.

That is the spirit of BC and the spirit that helped us win our bid for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. And it's the foundation of the Spirit of BC Committees our government developed through 2010 Legacies Now, which are helping communities around BC feel the benefits of the Games.

If you're already helping make your local committee a success, thank you. If you've just learned about the committees, welcome! Together we're going to strengthen our communities and show the world the Spirit of BC.

Honourable Gordon Campbell, Premier of British Columbia
