With majestic mountains, sunsets on the sea and some of the best skiing on the planet just two hours away, Vancouver just sells itself. It has to. There isn't enough money for anyone else to sell it. "It would be great if we could do much more promotion of the city when everybody is paying attention," says Geoff Meggs, a Vancouver city councillor and point man for the 2010 Olympic Games at city hall. "But we're not doing any advertising on global media about Vancouver. It would be great ... to do that, but we aren't doing it." "I'm hopeful there's a real economic boost here, in particular over the long term as we see all of the attention that we are going to get from this, the exposure globally, that we are able to leverage that," he said. "Vancouver is a great place."
Officials from the state of Washington, the Province of British Columbia and Amtrak today celebrated the long awaited second daily Amtrak Cascades train service to Vancouver, B.C. that will operate as a pilot project through the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympics Winter Games. "Amtrak is pleased to provide additional service to take people to the Winter Games and back and forth across the border for other personal, family and business reasons" said Kurt Laird, District Superintendent of Amtrak’s Pacific Division.
Oh Really nobody saw this coming at all over Budget by 60 to 65 Million what a joke! Who's going to pay for this F@%K UP? The Millennium group leads a consortium of 17 firms building the Olympic Athletes Village, a $1-billion, 1,100-unit development over seven city blocks in southeast False Creek. Fortress Investment Group, a New York-based hedge fund and private-equity company, is financing the development. In case of a default by Millennium, Fortress has said it has the resources to complete the project.
