Following Olympic tradition, Vancouver mayor Sam Sullivan received the Olympic flag during the closing ceremony of the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. The flag was raised on February 28, 2006, in a special ceremony, and was on display at Vancouver City Hall until the Olympic opening ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympics. The event was officially opened by Governor General, Michaelle Jean.
Vancouver is Canada's most ethnically diverse city. It boasts a strong European background with immigrants from Greece, Hungary, Germany, and Ireland to name a few. Plus a strong representation from Asia: China, Japan, Cambodia, Vietnam, Korea, Thailand, and Philippines. These influences make for a diverse array of cuisines!
Vancouverites joke that all of their favorite films and TV shows were shot in their own back yards. This is easy to believe- hundreds of movies and shows have been filmed in Vancouver in the past 20 years, including: Double Jeopardy, The Never-Ending Story, Jumanji, and the latest hit- The Twilight Saga among many others.
