ACI – Vancouver

What time, EST? I know it starts on the 12th but I can only find the time in Vancouver. Also, what channel would you recommend watching it on?

Those answers advising that the Opening Ceremonies will be on CBC are mistaken. CBC is not covering the Olympics this year in Canada. CTV/Rogers SportsNet are.

In the United States the NBC family of stations will carry the games.

The Opening Ceremonies are scheduled to begin at 6pm PST so that would be 9 EST.

What are some good things about the 2010 vancouver olympics? Other than a increase in tourism.

"Hi"…it made us do things that needed to be done…Sky train to YVR, improvements to the Sea to Sky highway, new Ice rinks, Richmond and UBC,improvements to Cypress, new accommodation in the downtown core in the "Athlete’s Village". This has created jobs and enabled lasting amenities for the Vancouver area long after the Olympics is over.

It will bring revenue to the whole lower Mainland and Metro Vancouver area and Whistler and that’s important !

We have a lot of youth in this country (which is geared to winter ) that will compete , want to compete and are looking forward to competing !

It will show us to the World as a modern peace loving , free and beautiful country and in these troubled global times that won’t hurt a bit ! *S*

Just my personal opinion ! *S* (Michael C…)

I have a school project where I need to make 4 question about the legacy of the vancouver olympics, and I am having a little trouble.. any help would be appreciated and just am looking for some questions about how the olympics affected north vancouver, vancouver, whistler, british columbia, and canada. thanks.

i’ll get you started.

hosting the olympics is good for a city’s economy because they bring a lot of publicity to that city. it brings investment, jobs and nontangibles like pride

i’m not gonna answer this question TOO well becasue you have to figure it out for yourself

She had on the little red dress and was singing infront of the Canadian flag during the opening ceremony in Vancouver 2010 winter olympics!

Nikki Yanofsky:

"Yanofsky has been a rising star since 2006, when she wowed a crowd of more than 100,000 at an international jazz festival in Montreal, her hometown.

She’s since performed with the likes of Celine Dion and Marvin Hamlisch, and recorded a song as part of an Ella Fitzgerald tribute album. She also recorded the song "Gotta Go My Own Way" — from "High School Musical 2" — in English and French as a bonus song on the worldwide version of the soundtrack CD and DVD.

This spring, Yanofsky will release her first studio album, "New to Me." Noted producer Phil Ramone worked with her on the album and on her recording of "I Believe.""

I have to watch 2 broadcasts of skeleton in the vancouver olympics. I missed it, so I would like to know where I can watch one or two heats of skeleton.

My friend was in one of the vancouver 2010 winter olympic commercials, and I really want to see it. However I can’t find it. Does anyone have a link to the commercial where there is a girl bouncing on the couch? Thanks!

Too bad. NBC wasted so much money on it theyr won`t want anyone watching a part of their failure

Hi everybody! I’m an Italian girl and I’m going to stay in Vancouver at least for 6 months. I’d like to fill in the application form to the 2010 Vancouver Olympics as volunteer.
Did anybody of you do the same? Do you think it is too late?
Thank you for your replies.
Ciao Ciao!

I’m not 100% sure if its too late, I know I heard on the news awhile back here in Vancouver that they had an over whelming amount of applicants for Volunteer positions. Here is the link to the volunteer positions: http://www.vancouver2010.com/en/work-and-volunteer/volunteer-opportunities/-/33922/w6niz7/index.html
