Olympic & Paralympic Secretariat
The Olympic and Paralympic Secretariat, formed in May 2008, is responsible for coordinating Alberta's approach
and activities leading up to, and during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
The Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games open the door to amazing opportunities for Alberta. Creating
a strong international profile for our province around the Games is a strategic investment in our future as
leaders in business, in tourism, sport and the arts.
The Secretariat's activities align with the Alberta - Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and
Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC) Accord signed in January 2008. Through the Accord, Alberta will pursue opportunities
in Vancouver and at home to:
- Celebrate excellence in sport
- Showcase our arts and culture
- Pursue opportunities for business and tourism development
- Instill pride of place in all Albertans
