Vancouver 2010 team visits northwest BC

In November 2005, Chief Executive Officer John Furlong led a team from VANOC, the Four Host First Nations Secretariat and 2010 Legacies Now across northwest British Columbia to promote Aboriginal and community participation in the 2010 Winter Games.

The team travelled from Prince Rupert to Prince George, building new relationships and listening to Aboriginal and community members. They also met with more than 700 schoolchildren along the way, encouraging BC’s next generation of athletes to pursue their own dreams, sport or otherwise.
