To help build awareness of Whistler, build partnerships, and host Canadian athletes and their families, the RMOW has developed the Whistler Canada Olympic House. Working in partnership with the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) with support from the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia, Whistler Canada Olympic House has been designed to provide the opportunity to host and provide hospitality to Canadian athletes and their families, and dignitaries and guests from around the country and the globe. It will also help to add to the Whistler experience for these guests in showcasing the community, as well as the Province and country, and all they have to offer.
The primary goal of the Whistler Canada Olympic House is to create a showcasing and hosting facility in the heart of Whistler. It is being designed and operated to meet the needs of the participating partners.
The facility will be branded primarily as a hosting space that showcases Whistler and the Canadian Olympic Committee to invited guests.
Given the beauty of the building itself, multi-media will be the primary tool for showcasing, with large screens in place permanently throughout the 17 days of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. The screens will showcase sporting venues, CTV sport broadcast coverage of the Games, and a live feed from Whistler Medals Plaza and Whistler Live! programming.
Whistler video and imagery, and other content will showcase the past, present and future of Whistler to facility guests. The outside of the building will have signage so that guests and visitors are aware that it is Whistler Canada Olympic House.
Access is primarily by accreditation or invitation; however, the Whistler community will be invited to an Open House prior to the Games as well as special community events at the facility during the Games. Please check back regularly for updates.
