Olympics

Turino 2006 was quite the games. It was so exciting to watch the athletes compete for the last 17 days. Turino put together exceptional opening and closing ceremonies.

Mayor Sam Sullivan did an excellent job receiving the Olympic flag from the mayor of Turino for the handoff for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic games.

The CBC again had oustanding coverage of the games. Iterestingly enough, they will again have the rights to the summer Olympic games in Beijing in 2008; however they will lose the rights to CTV for both the following games.

So with regards to the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver, BC a new website I've come across for Canadian travel. It appears to be new but shows excellent promise and will provide great information as the site matures.
