About Us - North Shore Spirit of BC, Vancouver BC, Canada

Supported by 2010 Legacies Now and the Province of BC, Spirit of BC is a province-wide initiative that promotes the values of community innovation, pride and excellence to create unique and lasting legacies for British Columbians leading up to and beyond the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

North Shore Spirit of BC

The goal of the North Shore Spirit of B.C. is to ignite pride community spirit in those living and working on the North Shore in the build up to and during the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, to give residents and visitors an experience to remember, and to maximize the benefits for the North Shore community.

Our goal is to inform and engage the community; facilitate partnership and the identification and realization of opportunities; and to support business and community organizations in implementing and enhancing strategies related to 2010. Local legacies of volunteerism, connection and The North Shore Spirit Trail will continue for years to come.

Spirit of BC Mission

The Spirit of BC program will inspire local citizens and engage current and future community leaders in the economic, cultural, and social success of their communities and celebrate the ambitions and achievements of individuals and the community as a whole.

It will collaborate with government, business, educators and local community-based organizations to ensure that legacies address the strengths, needs and opportunities in each community, including literacy, the arts, health, sport, and recreation.

The Spirit of BC Program will develop a deep and rich community resource of volunteers committed to the values of sustainable and engaged communities, healthy living practices and lifelong learning. As committed community leaders, Spirit of BC volunteers will value partnership, diversity, creativity and community spirit.
