WTG,
Wow, to have the CWG be held beside such prestigious Canadian events is fantastic news! Nice work everyone!
This is wonderful news! Anthony is a great choice.
We are opening a 2015 Games exhibit, “We Are Winter” at Exploration Place in the George Phillips Gallery on February 9th. Cone join us to celebrate all over again!
Fingers crossed for winning the awards! Congratulations Prince George! Nice Job!
Nothing like everyone giving themselves a good pat on the back.
It’s a amazing what one can do with unfettered access to the deep pockets of the taxpayer.
Much better to sit around and gripe about any acknowledgement that anyone gets for making a difference eh? Really improving our city and world there curmudgeons. Good job!
