“Representing businesses both large and small, these nine licensees reflect the spirit of entrepreneurship for which Canada is renowned, and exemplify how smaller businesses from across the country can get involved in the Games.”
The sale of Vancouver 2010 official licensed products contributes directly to Games revenues, thereby supporting the financing and staging of the 2010 Winter Games. Merchandise developed by the new licensees is expected to be in stores by January 2007.
The licensee announcement took place at a Vancouver Board of Trade luncheon today where Vancouver 2010 Chief Executive Officer John Furlong provided an annual Games progress update offering key insights on VANOC's venue construction progress and the strength of its sponsorship program. He also provided updates on the release of VANOC's Business Plan and VANOC's commitment to Canadian athletes through the Own the Podium 2010 initiative.
VANOC is responsible for the planning, organizing, financing and staging of the XXI Olympic Winter Games and the X Paralympic Winter Games in 2010. The 2010 Olympic Winter Games will be staged in Vancouver and Whistler from February 12 to 28, 2010. Vancouver and Whistler will host the Paralympic Winter Games from March 12 to 21, 2010.
