David, Canadian Olympic Committee17 June 2008

I recently had the pleasure of joining two of my Canadian Olympic Committee colleagues (Betty Dermer-Norris, our Director, Team Operations and Derek Covington, our Director, Olympic Preparation) on the COC’s second site visit to London in preparation for

During our stay in London we were also able to have meetings with Canadian High Commission officials, and to view potential locations for Canada Olympic House and for our out of village accommodations. We were also privileged to be able to meet with our colleagues at the British Olympic Association.

All of us with the COC are excited about the upcoming London 2012 Olympic Games. The historical ties between our two countries are indeed as strong as any two countries in the world enjoy. We know that London 2012 will prove to be exceptional Olympic Games for all countries, but even more so for we Commonwealth countries.
