Spirit of BC Community Committees act as a valuable contact and advocate for local businesses looking for ways to take advantage of the opportunities available to them due to the 2010 Winter Games being hosted in British Columbia.
Spirit of BC Community Committees work with the business community and organizations such as local Chambers of Commerce and Business Improvement Associations to stimulate interest and excitement about the 2010 Winter Games, which in turn translates into economic benefits for local businesses.
Key concepts within this effort encourage Spirit of BC Community Committees to:
Inform
Inform business owners of proper processes and protocols and address how the community and local businesses can access Games-related opportunities and maximize their potential for success.
Educate
Educate suppliers and businesses on the economic impact of the Games and help inspire them to seek new opportunities.
Connect
Connect local businesses to 2010 Winter Games-related opportunities – to be a supplier, a subcontractor, or introduce local businesses that could potentially work jointly to provide useful products and services to the 2010 Winter Games.
Using their recognition and official status, Spirit of BC Community Committees are in a unique position to take advantage of the existing local infrastructure and contacts throughout this process – providing the linkage between 2010 Winter Games organizations and local government, media and business interests.
