I toured the new Vancouver Convention Center today. Amy gave a great tour, taking our group to the 2nd floor to view the "living roof" featuring 23 native plant species and covers the entire roof of the convention center. It is the largest non-industrial living roof in North America. Everything in the building is made from recycled materials. Starting next month, it will become the site of the media broadcast center for the 2010 Winter Olympics. CTV and NBC obviously secured prime spots with spectacular views of the north shore and Stanley Park. In total, there will be 10,000 media on site come Olympic time.
I highly recommend this tour as it gives real insights into what the upcoming Olympics will be all about. But if you're interested in this tour, you only have until October 9th when VANOC completely takes over the building.
