Robson Square – B.C.’s signature celebration site during the Games
Covering three city blocks in the heart of downtown Vancouver, Robson Square is a favourite of residents and tourists alike.
During the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, the landmark public space is serving as the Province of British Columbia’s signature celebration site.
Beginning November 23, and every day through the 2010 Winter Games, there’s free public skating at the GE Plaza in the square — Vancouver’s only outdoor ice rink.
Robson Square is also hosting live entertainment from now through the Games. In December, the focus is on festive family activities with more excitement planned as February approaches.
In February, the nearby Vancouver Art Gallery is home to the BC Canada Pavilion. It will feature state-of-the-art exhibits and displays showcasing the very best of B.C.
During the Games, the square will feature live entertainment, sport demonstrations, light shows, video displays, and fun for the whole family. Visitors to Robson Square will be able to keep track of the various sporting events and ceremonies on large screens.
The refurbished Robson Square is also home to the 2010 Commerce Centre. The Centre was created by BC 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Secretariat to help inform, educate and connect businesses to the economic opportunities of the Games.
