In Your Community

Homeport to the 2010 Winter Games

The port that brings you the goods you use everyday is now connecting you with the 2010 Winter Games. Port Metro Vancouver is an Official Supplier to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

The most visible part of the Port’s sponsorship is the location of the Main Press Centre on the waterfront at Canada Place. From the Main Press Centre, journalists will file stories to a global audience about the athletes and connect the world to the Games.

Port Metro Vancouver is providing port services in-kind, including access to facilities like Canada Place, other port properties as well as support leading up to and during the 2010 Winter Games.

Vancouver is the first oceanside Games since the Oslo 1952 Olympic Winter Games and this partnership marks the first time in Olympic Winter Games history that a port has been named an Official Supplier.
