The province’s most respected hall-of-famers, Vancouver 2010 VIPs and supporters of the BC Sports Hall of Fame and Museum celebrated the 2010 Winter Games’ two-year anniversary with the opening of an Olympic exhibit.

While sipping on wine and listening to live jazz, guests relived the memories of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games surrounded by history-making memorabilia, including Sidney Crosby’s Team Canada hockey jersey and Joannie Rochette’s dress worn during her emotional short-programme figure skating performance. The Royal Canadian Mint was also on site to give everyone their golden moment with the medals.
