Welcome to Vernon BC Canada!

As the Vernon 2012 BC games get closer we are really feeling the excitement build! This morning we searched news articles online throughout the province and there are far too many to share. Many of the Tourism Vernon staff & volunteers are heavily involved in several of the events and proud to be able to assist! This is a very exciting time for us and everyone is really busy making sure we are able to be the best host City possible for such a special occasion.

There is an abundance of behind the scene activity preparation with over 2300 volunteers in various colours depending what role they are filling. Many of the people involved will be wearing green coats these are the hosts and many of their duties are just making people feel welcome and answering questions. All hosts have been supplied with manuals with information including phone lists, maps, role rules, emergency procedures and much more so we are prepared to answer all the questions. We really can’t wait to meet everyone and help make this a smooth and seamless event.

Schedule information as well as venue addresses and an online map can be found on the BC Winter Games Website at http://www.2012bcwintergames.ca/ . The Winter Games office will be open until 4:30pm on Friday February 24th so they are available for calls at 250.550.2012. The Vernon Visitor Centre will also be open until Friday at 4:30pm at 701 Highway 97 South or call 1-800-665-0795 with contact numbers on the voice mail if needed.
It is our hope that everyone that comes to Vernon has a stress free visit and is able to enjoy all that is happening. We are all cheering for the young athletes and can’t wait for their arrival here in Vernon BC!

Vernon it is our time to shine!
