THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
A province-sized thank you to everyone who organized, participated, administrated, attended, got involved, volunteered, worked, enjoyed and smiled through Spirit of BC Week 2007.
It could not have been done without the true "spirit" or soul of British Columbians from all areas of our province.
So - once again - a big thank you!
Events in Every Corner
There were over 300 events this year throughout BC. From Richmond to Revelstoke, Castlegar to Comox. What a party.
Rumour has it Vanderhoof had upwards of 40 events during Spirit of BC week! Vanderhoof really set the benchmark high for next year.
Speaking of 2008
The dates are not set for 2008 but now is the time to recap on your successes in 2007 and think about building on them. Because next year will be only 24 months until the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games...and Spirit of BC is going to be a big part of it, darn tootin'. You can bet your gold medals on that!
