Renting a residential property for the Canadian Olympics in Vancouver or Whistler?
Renting a home for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver or Whistler?
The Winter olympic games like the Summer olympic games are held once every 4 years. The last Winter olympic games were held Torino in Italy in 2006. This flag is now on display at the Vancouver town Hall where it will remain until the Opening ceremony of the 2010 Winter olympic games. These Winter olympic games that may be known as the XXI Olympic Winter Games or the 21st Winter Olympics will be held in Vancouver and its nearby resort city of Whistler, UK Columbia between February 12th and 28th 2010.
Vancouver’s International airport which is found in Metro Vancouver has direct air links with various major cities around the globe as well as several Canadian towns.
Preparing for the Games
Both the host towns of Vancouver and Whistler have been undergoing intense preparations for the games in the shape of creation of new sporting, transport and infrastructural facilities to welcome the numerous participators, officers, members of the world media and spectators who will be traveling to Vancouver for the games.
Participating Countries
The list of participating counties includes nations having a long practice of winter sports like Austria, Norway, Denmark, USA and Great Britain and also several others nations like Kenya and Thailand who are not typically renowned for their winter sports exploits. In fact, the games will feature many firsts like the 1st time participation of the Western African nation of Ghana. The debutant Ghanaian team will feature 34 year old Ghanian skier Kwame Nkrumah – Acheampong who is sometimes known as ‘Snow Leopard’ and who will be competing in the slalom and giant slalom skiing events. In a similar way the team of the Islamic Republic of Iran will for the 1st time field a girls skier at the 2010 Winter Games.
Sporting Events
The 2010 Winter Olympic Games will feature eighty six medal events in fifteen sporting disciplines. The Paralympic Winter Games will include 5 sports Alpine Skiing, Cross Country Skiing, Biathlon, Ice Sledge Hockey, and Wheelchair Curling..
many of the 2010 Winter Games venues are located in central Vancouver and include the Canada Hockey Place ( Ice hockey ), Vancouver Olympic Center, ( Curling and Wheel chair Curling ) the Pacific Coliseum ( Figure Skating ) and the UBC Thunderbird Arena ( Ice Hockey and ice sledge hockey ). Venues in Whistler include the Whistler Sliding Centre, Whistler Creekside and the Whistler Olympic Park.
except for these sporting venues, the games will also feature several non competition venues like the BC Place Stadium located in downtown Vancouver that may be the location for the Opening and Closing rites for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games and the Opening ceremony for the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games.
The hosting of the rites in an indoor locale will also help the organizers in conceptualizing, creating and hosting a spectacular show which is rumoured to feature state of the art lighting, projection, sound and CGI effects as well as all types of performers, dancers and athletes who will showcase the colourful history and culture of Canada.
The Games venues can be simply accessed by Vancouver’s wonderful public transport system which consists of public buses, Sky Train ( light train ), Sea Bus ( passenger ferry ) and the West Coast Express ( rail service ). The Canada Line, a new rapid rail service linking the Vancouver waterfront to Richmond and Vancouver global airport will also become functional in mid- 2009 well in time for the games. VANOC wants the Games to be environmentally sustainable and are encouraging spectators to only employ Vancouver’s wonderful public transport to gain access to the numerous events of the Games.
2010 : Vancouver Rental houses for the Olympic games
together with the diverse sports and infrastructural facilities, VANOC is also involved in creating accommodation facilities for the numerous athletes, officers and accredited media personnel for the 2010 Winter Games.
These rates further vary according the dimensions of the home being offered and the proximity of the home to the Games. One bedroom homes in Vancouver now have an asking rate that range between approximately $464 upwards per night while houses with more than 4 bedrooms have an asking rate of roughly $1,500 upwards per night. In Whistler, the asking rates for rental houses is higher as in certain areas there is a deficit of supply and here rates are as high as $484 per bedroom night.
Though this deposit is refundable it noticeably adds to the price of your accommodation at the 2010 Winter Games.
Bill Board Websites jammed and over crammed full of houses will lead to a ton of disappointment for 2010 Vancouver Whistler accommodations.
vacation home rental internet sites also offers a wide variety of vacation rentals but there are internet sites where the owners and the renters are real unlike any other channels who offer houses which are not attested or confirmed. This increases the transparency of the rental process as both the owner and the renter are assured that they’re entering a real agreement. – For first time travelers spending tons of money on accommodations this is something to seriously consider.
How does the rental process at one of the better Vacation Home sites work? Having decided on a rental, the renter then pays the rental fees into a trust account that is maintained by a law office kept by the company. The rental fees are then held in this account to be dispersed to the owner only after the renter has vacated the premises. This process ensures that you are not sending your rental cash to an unknown unverified entity that will misuse the funds and trick you out of your cash. The rental process also doesn’t need you to plunk down a big damage deposit for your rental ; instead all renters have to purchase a $39 insurance plan which covers home owners up to $3000. This rental process instituted by guarantees the interests of both the renters and the homeowners. The method is transparent, trusted and comparatively cheap as well .
The base line here is that if you are just one of hundreds of houses on a domain for 2010Rentals and the site in not being promoted with Facebook, Google, Yahoo, AdWords etc… In countries beyond BC look elsewhere!

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
