Vancouver (BC), Canada - For two weeks in February, British Columbia was home to international athletes and sport fans during the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Now Canada's westernmost province is celebrating once again with the arrival of the Paralympic Winter Games in Vancouver and Whistler.


Through March 21, disabled athletes from around the world will compete for medals in five winter sport disciplines. British Columbia is welcoming visitors and spectators to witness these amazing feats of athleticism and to experience some of the many activities the destination has to offer.

Popular pavilions, including the British Columbia Canada Pavilion at the Vancouver Art Gallery, will reopen their doors, and LiveCity Sites in Vancouver and Whistler will come alive again with free music and entertainment.
