Falling
within the
Ministry of Economic Development portfolio, the
British Columbia 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games
Secretariat (BC Secretariat) is the provincial agency
responsible for overseeing British Columbia’s Olympic financial
commitments and ensuring British Columbia’s Olympic vision is
achieved.
The primary role of
the BC Secretariat is to provide the strategic leadership,
coordination and oversight to ensure the Province meets the
financial infrastructure and service commitments. The Province
has committed $600 million to the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic
Winter Games’ venue construction, endowments and legacies.
The BC Secretariat
also has a key role in ensuring the sustainable economic,
cultural, sport and social opportunities associated with hosting
an Olympic event are identified early and realized before,
during and after the 2010 Winter Games, and evolve into enduring
legacies for communities and businesses around the province.
The British Columbia Canada Pavilion will be located at the Beijing Planning Exhibition Hall
during the 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Summer Games. The pavilion will highlight existing friendships and help build new
relationships between two great nations.

the 2006 Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games in Torino, Italy.
