| Whistler
is the Host Mountain Resort
of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic
and Paralympic Games, the first
time the IOC has bestowed that
designation on a community. Whistler
will host the alpine technical
and speed events, the sliding
events, the Nordic events in nearby
Callaghan Valley and all the Paralympic
events except the opening ceremonies,
sledge hockey and wheelchair curling.
The Whistler Olympic and Paralympic
Village (commonly referred to
as the Athlete's village) will
house approximately 2,400 athletes,
coaches, trainers and officials.
Post-games, the site will be turned
into a new resident neighbourhood.
The Athlete's Village has been
intended to be an Olympic Legacy,
yet funding from the provincial
government has not been forthcoming.
Construction has yet to be begun,
and plans and blueprints have
yet to be finalized.
