Game Plan 2008 Coming to Richmond
11 June 2008The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC), the City of Richmond and their transportation and security partners will launch Game Plan 2008 in Richmond on June 18. Members of the public are welcome to attend this free information session for the 2010 Winter Games venue communities.
Game Plan 2008 will help key stakeholders and citizens better understand the daily operations leading up to and during the 2010 Winter Games. Though Games-time operational plans are still being developed, these information sessions will provide an overview of current plans, a snapshot of daily life for those living or working in a Games-venue neighbourhood and provide a forum for community members to offer feedback.
The first half of the meeting will feature a presentation on Games-times operations of the Richmond Oval and other 2010 Games venues, transportation, public safety, security and municipal operations. The second half of the meeting will provide an opportunity for community members to speak directly with venue specialists and other planning teams as well as view more detailed information displays.
Date: Wednesday, June 18, 2008 Time: 6:30 p.m. Location: Richmond City Hall, 6911 No. 3 Road Admission: Free
Similar sessions are planned in Whistler and Vancouver with details available on the VANOC website.
The series of Game Plan sessions will continue through 2009 and up until Games time, offering an increasing level of operational detail to stakeholders and citizens as new information becomes available.
