GamesTown 2010

It starts with your story...
The countdown to the 2010 Winter Games has begun. We want to hear what your B.C. community is doing to get in the spirit. Tell us and the world how individuals and organizations in your community are making a difference in supporting sport, healthy living, sustainable development and of course, the Olympic Games spirit.

Later this year, three B.C. communities will be picked as the gold, silver and bronze GamesTowns and will receive funds to put towards sports or healthy living facility improvements of their choosing. Along the way, we’ll also be awarding many other great prizes, including tickets to the Winter Games! Find your community and get started today!

Now it's your turn! Tell your story, the way you want.
Upload stories, photos and YouTube video clips to your own B.C. Community Profile page on the Gamestown2010 website, showing us how your community engages the Olympic spirit and should be named GamesTown2010.
