I’m off to the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics but this time as a spectator and commentator. I’ll be writing articles for the Charlottetown Guardian and reporting regularly here on the Olympic Games. While this is not my first Olympic Games, it is most certainly my first Winter Olympic Games and my first chance to take in all the excitment as a spectator…. all this right here in our own country. And let’s face it folks, Canada is going to kick some butt!
The city is alive with preparations with the Official Opening Ceremony tomorrow and many of the amazing pavillions kicking off in the next two days as well. Make no mistake about it, Canada is showing the world what we are all about, not just athletically, but our land, our products, our talents, our diverse history and cultures, the ever changing and evolving wonder that is Canada. There are literally dozens of pavillions showcasing the provinces, territories, aborginal and french canadina culture, various art forms, and the list goes on. The real story will be how Canadians and the world react once they get a chance to see our many wonders. I, for one, am really looking forward to exploring the city and all it has to offer. There are many places in Canada I have yet to visit and this is going to be a great opportunity to get the inside scoop. Don’t worry, I’ll be sharing my perspective the first chance I get!
