Go Canada Go!

When you watch the medal presentations for the Bobsleigh, Luge, and Skeleton at the Whistler Sliding Centre, think of the proud community of Houston and Dungate Community Forest who donated the Lodgepole Pine for the podium!
23 podiums were built from timber donated by communities, First Nations, and businesses from across the Province for the Olympics. The podiums are built from one of 18 different wood types.
“We asked British Columbians to donate wood for the podium construction and the response was overwhelming,” said Forests and Range Minister Pat Bell. “It is clear that our communities take great pride in their local forests and are eager to share the Spirit of 2010 with the rest of the world.”
