Congratulations to the staff and volunteers of the Athletes Villages in Whistler and Vancouver. Two lucky volunteers were chosen to cut the ribbon and officially welcome the worlds best athletes to Whistler and Vancouver. Thank you for including me in the ceremony!
Thanks to Michel for the tour of the dining hall for the Athletes. What a facility. With seating for over 900 the athletes have access to the freshest foods whenever they need it. The back of house facilities are incredible. Staff work around the clock prepping foods from a variety of cultures. The food services staff displayed incredible enthusiasm and are truly excited to start feeding the world.
Athletes from around the world began arriving at 3pm today to begin their medal journey. A beautiful Spring like day greeted them with incredible views to West Bowl on Whistler Mountain. The athletes have access to great facilities that include a loaded games room- can’t wait to see the rock band competitions-, fitness centre, internet cafe, bank, retail stores, a hospital they hopefully won’t need, outdoor fire pit and lounge area, outdoor stage with live entertainment and more.
It’s officially “ON” in Whistler. Good luck to all. Stay tuned for updates on the Torch Relay. Can’t wait to run!
