Olympic and Paralympic Games: Remember. Renew. Reimagine.
Hosting the 2030 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games could present an enormous economic opportunity for businesses across British Columbia. Built on the newly reformed international bidding and hosting model and an Indigenous-led domestic process, a 2030 Games presents an opportunity to remember our past, renew our present, and reimagine what’s possible for a region that knows how to welcome the world.
Join us as we think ahead seven generations to explore a unique opportunity while engaging with the business community in British Columbia.
