VANCOUVER - Premier Gordon Campbell issued the following statement to mark the one-month countdown to the 2010 Olympic Winter Games on January 12.
"We're just a month away from an unprecedented moment in the history of our province, as the Olympic Flame arrives at BC Place Stadium and our children and grandchildren get the chance see a Canadian athlete win Olympic gold at home for the first time ever. "Together we will welcome thousands of athletes, hundreds of thousands of visitors, and billions of television viewers to see our communities, experience our culture, and learn firsthand why this province is such an incredible place to visit, to live, and to raise a family. "These Games are occurring at the perfect time for our communities, our people and our economy. The entire world will see the opportunities for tourism, trade and investment that exist here in Canada's Pacific Gateway. We'll leverage the worldwide exposure B.C. will receive from the
Olympics to create new opportunities, new growth and new jobs as we lead Canada forward into 2010 and beyond. "It's only one month away from when British Columbians will have the experience of a lifetime. Together we'll proudly showcase our province to the world during the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games."
