There is no doubt that a huge investment has been made for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Game. The question is whether the investment is worthwhile or what the benefits people of Vancouver can receive.
As a matter of fact, we have already received some benefits from the game. People in Vancouver are now enjoying the convenience of transportation improvement such as the skytrain from Vancouver to Richmond and to YVR and the Sea-to Sky highway from West Vancouver to Whisler. Most importantly the facilities will be used for generation to come.
The construction of the transportation system brought us further benefit - many jobs opportunities.
We shall not forget that during the winter Olympic people from different parts of world came to Vancouver to participate or simply watch the game. Money poured into the city via tickets, transportation, lodging and food. Not to mention the millions and billions dollars earned for advertisement and mass communication of TV at Olympic venure.
In addition to the economic benefit, there are social benefit as well. We already witness the enthusiastic and national pride Canadian have demonstrated during the game. The Olympic spirit will encourage more people to participate in the future. Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic left a legacy which has a far reaching impact in the prosperity of the city.
