"Four First Nations, along with the municipalities of Vancouver and Whistler,
have signed an agreement with the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic committees to
start exploring the feasibility of hosting the 2030 Winter Games in British
Columbia.
The agreement, announced in a written statement on Tuesday, means officials
from the Lil̓wat7úl (Líl̓wat), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish)
and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) nations, along with the mayors of Vancouver and
Whistler will work with the Olympic and Paralympic committees to assess the
possibility of making a bid.
"A First Nation-led bid process is what is needed and it's the foundation for
us uniting and working together," said Musqueam Chief Wayne Sparrow. "Our
relations have never been stronger and we're on a path to really, really see
reconciliation and action."
The partnership to explore making a bid for the 2030 Games was announced by the
nations and municipalities in December."
