The Olympics Will Hang Around Vancouver for a Little Longer

March 2, 2010 at 5:42 PM | by | Comments (0)

The 2010 Winter Olympics are officially over and out and while we got excited yesterday about the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, the reality is--none of us can wait that long.

If you weren't able to get to Vancouver for the Olympics, there are still a bunch of Olympics hangovers you can partake in around town, especially when the 2010 Paralympics kicks off on March 12.

The LiveCity Downtown venue on Georgia Street will be open on select dates in March and the Robson Square Celebration Site (Robson Street, between Hornby and Howe Streets) will reopen on March 12 for the Paralympics. Plus the Olympics torch will be relit on March 12 as well.

The BC Hydro Powe Smart Village at 333 Dunsmuir Street is now open through March 22 from 10am to 6pm and features a giant dance floor that generates electricity as people dance. And the Royal Canadian Mint will also be open for medal-viewing during the Paralympics games as well. The venue has moved and will be announced shortly.

Up in Whistler, the Whistler Live site will be open where there will be daily performances of "Fire and Ice" where skiers and snowboarders jump through a ring of fire. But sadly, it doesn't look like there are any of those popular red mittens left. Now, that would be a true find in Vancouver!
