The live video feed of the Vancouver Olympic Village (powered by Craig Wireless) provided online viewers with around the clock views of the athlete's village during the Olympic and Paralympic games. Now that the games have wrapped up, we have removed the camera for future use at exciting sites around Vancouver.
The Vancouver Olympic Village (VOV), was constructed for the 2010
Winter Olympics and 2010 Winter Paralympics hosted in Vancouver, British
Columbia, Canada. The 600,000 sq ft (56,000 m2) village has over 600
units and can accommodate over 2,800 athletes, coaches, and officials.
The village is located on the shoreline at the southeast corner of
False Creek, north of 2nd Avenue between Quebec and Manitoba Streets.
Before development, the site was an industrial area that was mostly
parking lots. The village is just south of Science World and its
waterfront is part of the False Creek Seawall promenade and bike route.
It is also adjacent to the stations of the Granville Island Heritage
Railway, the Spyglass Place pedestrian ferry wharf (served by Aquabus
and False Creek Ferries), the Science World pedestrian ferry wharf
(normally served by Aquabus, the False Creek Ferries (closed temporarily
from January 25, 2010 to March 24, 2010) and the Main Street and
Olympic Village SkyTrain stations.
The Olympic Village was
recently certified as the greenest, most energy efficient and
sustainable neighbourhood in the world. It is the greenest Olympic
Village in history!
