It’s coming up on 10 years since the world came to Vancouver to take in the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games! Where does the time go?!
This Wednesday, February 12, join the B.C. Pavilion Corporation and Vancouver Convention Centre as the 2010 Cauldron will come to life in order to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
