2010 Winter Games
Legacies Now
A large part of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games is athleticism and community development.
Through 2010 Legacies Now, the province's First Nations' communities and youth are pursuing excellence in sport. For example, an Aboriginal Youth Sports Legacy Fund was created and has funded the first ever Aboriginal Youth Olympic Sports Challenge.
This project helped to identify potential high performance athletes leading up to 2010 and increase physical activity levels. Additionally, it will foster First Nations youth with sport opportunities, training and - hopefully - Olympic medals.
2010 Legacies Now
2010 Legacies Now celebrates diversity among groups such as: women, youth, aboriginal people, inner-city residents, people living with a disability and people of all cultures. 2010 Legacies Now, through partnerships, creates opportunities through social and community development initiatives that will benefit all British Columbians and have an impact on every generation leading up to, and beyond 2010.
