We are so excited to be the honored Host City for the 2010 Winter Games. As the games rapidly approach, we need to consider some pragmatic issues such as transportation around the city core and other urban areas.
Olympic Torch Relay
Attached is an outline of the timing, route and celebration sites for the running of the Olympic torch. These routes, while they may not directly affect the building, will affect the area in which the buildings are located. Please note the times and the areas so that you may adjust for any delays leaving the buildings on Thursday, February 11th.
Friday, February 12th, the torch relay will be downtown; however, it starts from the North Shore at 6 a.m. and therefore, may affect your time coming to the building if you are coming from the North Shore or downtown.
One last bit of information we have is that on Wednesday, February 10th, there will be a "dry run" of the opening ceremonies, and therefore there will be additional congestion in the downtown area around BC Place.
