Atlantic Canada House

The best of Atlantic Canada will be presented to the world during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games at Atlantic Canada House. Canada’s four Atlantic Provinces, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island, along with the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, will welcome visitors to Atlantic Canada House in Vancouver from February 13 to 28, 2010.

For two weeks, Canada’s east coast will come alive on the west coast at the Atlantic Canada House, located on Granville Island, British Columbia. A historical and popular venue, Granville Island is expecting over 35,000 visitors daily during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Atlantic Canada House will provide an inspiring and authentic setting to experience all that Atlantic Canada has to offer as a cultural tourism destination and a great place to live, work and grow.

The pavilion space will have an important trade and investment component with space for hosting and meeting with industry leaders. Visitors, national and international media will be invited to taste Atlantic Canada’s culinary delights, discover the region’s culture and spirit, and share in Atlantic Canadian hospitality.

On Friday, February 26, 2010 Atlantic Canada House will celebrate Newfoundland and Labrador Day at the Olympics. Guests will be treated to traditional cuisine, discover the provinces’ unique culture and share in our down-home hospitality and spirit.

Included in the pavilion space will be performance stages and venues that will feature and showcase Atlantic Canadian artists to visitors from around the world. On Newfoundland and Labrador Day our artists will own the stage as we celebrate the world class talent our province has to offer.
