Impact on VancouverImpact on Vancouver
Impact on the Vancouver Canucks: The 2010 Winter Olympics will force Vancouver to
go on the longest road trip in NHL History. They will play 14 games away from GM Place over 6 weeks. It will start on January 27th and end on March 13th. It will also force the Canucks to remove advertising on the ice.
Impact on the City of Vancouver: The Olympics will cost Vancouver a minimum of
$4.388 billion and will cost all Canadian citizens a minimum of $2.506 billion in taxes combined. Pollution in the city is expected to increase dramatically and Gordon Campbell said in a public speech “Citizens of British Columbia, during the Olympics I urge you to use public transit”.
