ACKNOWLEDGMENT FROM THE DEPUTY MINISTER OF THE BC OLYMPIC GAMES:

......all of your hard work has paid off in spades. You have all contributed so much to this effort and I wanted you to know how successful our venture is and how proud you can be of all the effort that has gone into this enormous operation.

BC -Canada Place is the biggest hit in town. We had 6,000 people here yesterday and there are huge line-ups to get in the door. We are going through newspapers like crazy and its really interesting that there are no sections on the streets anywhere so people are keeping them. The facility is the talk of the town and is doing exactly what we hoped for...it is introducing British Columbia to a huge new audience and our presence here has definatley been noticed.

You all are to be congratulated for all your hard work and dedication to this effort. We are a great team and our success can only grow.

Thank you so much, 

Annette
