INVESTING IN THE 2010 OLYMPICS IS A GOOD DEAL: INVESTING IN THE 2010 OLYMPICS IS A GOOD DEAL As in the past several Olympics, the 2010 Olympic Games operating costs will be met by revenues from the Games themselves. INVESTING IN THE 2010 OLYMPICS IS A GOOD DEAL: INVESTING IN THE 2010 OLYMPICS IS A GOOD DEAL There likely will be a surplus to be placed in a legacy fund for the continuing operation of key Olympic facilities and the development of Olympic athletes in BC. INVESTING IN THE 2010 OLYMPICS IS A GOOD DEAL: INVESTING IN THE 2010 OLYMPICS IS A GOOD DEAL The City of Vancouver will not be responsible for the operating costs of the 2010 Olympics – those are guaranteed by the provincial government.

INVESTING IN THE 2010 OLYMPICS IS A GOOD DEAL: INVESTING IN THE 2010 OLYMPICS IS A GOOD DEAL BC will receive more than that in extra tax revenue from visitors and other sources from outside of the province.

INVESTING IN THE 2010 OLYMPICS IS A GOOD DEAL: INVESTING IN THE 2010 OLYMPICS IS A GOOD DEAL The economic impact of the games has been reviewed and confirmed in a wide-ranging, penetrating study undertaken by a well-qualified expert.

INVESTING IN THE 2010 OLYMPICS IS A GOOD DEAL: INVESTING IN THE 2010 OLYMPICS IS A GOOD DEAL These figures are conservative. The assumptions and methodology used systematically understate the likely impact, to be sure that the results are not an overstatement.INVESTING IN THE 2010 OLYMPICS IS A GOOD DEAL: INVESTING IN THE 2010 OLYMPICS IS A GOOD DEAL These impacts will ramp up between 2004 and 2009, peak in 2010, and will be at a much lower but significant level in subsequent years.INVESTING IN THE 2010 OLYMPICS IS A GOOD DEAL: INVESTING IN THE 2010 OLYMPICS IS A GOOD DEAL The 2010 Olympics will increase Vancouver’s success rate in bidding for future conventions, and will increase the attendance at conventions in this city over a number of years.

INVESTING IN THE 2010 OLYMPICS IS A GOOD DEAL: INVESTING IN THE 2010 OLYMPICS IS A GOOD DEAL The Olympics also will stimulate investment in needed transportation infrastructure, such as improvements to Highway 99 north of Vancouver. INVESTING IN THE 2010 OLYMPICS IS A GOOD DEAL: INVESTING IN THE 2010 OLYMPICS IS A GOOD DEAL However, neither the costs of nor the benefits from these improvements have been included in the analysis, since these projects likely would have to be undertaken anyway. INVESTING IN THE 2010 OLYMPICS IS A GOOD DEAL: INVESTING IN THE 2010 OLYMPICS IS A GOOD DEAL Overall, the 2010 Games will have a large positive effect on the provincial economy, including substantial employment and employment income.
