Calgary Olympic Legacy

Kate delivered a big baby.

Actually, three big babies.

Her 3 final reports on the legacies of the 3 most recent North American Winter Olympics are posted on-line linked on her Kate is Always Late blog.

Certainly VANOC (Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games) — shouldn’t that acronym be VOCFT2OAPWG, Kate? — selected Kate to draft these invaluable documents because she is so passionate about sport. And legacy.

I was particularly interested in her Calgary report:

Two billion people worldwide watched the opening ceremony of the Calgary 1988 Olympic Winter Games.

I was one of the coldest of 2 billion, sitting in the frozen arena. (Thanks Katrina for scoring tickets!)

Kate’s done a great job of cataloguing the many benefits of the Olympics for Calgary. It was wonderful for the city. Good luck to Vancouver!
