“LiveCity Downtown will be a great place to take in the excitement, triumphs and achievements of Paralympic athletes from around the world,” said Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson. “The site was a hub of celebration during the Games and we welcome everyone back to keep that level of excitement and support going for our Paralympic athletes over the next two weeks.”
You can read more about what to expect during the Paralympics in this post, or read my article on the Opening Ceremony, which will feature a performance by Said the Whale.
I’ll be sorry to miss the Weakerthans on the 13th. Darned opera.
Looks like some great shows. They’re all up at http://truenorthmediahouse.com/resources-2/calendar/. It’s all open data — so you can add more events and also sync it (by subscribing to the calendar) with your iCal, iPhone, smartphone calendar, etc.
March 12th is Said the Whale!
