The 2010 Winter Olympics Torch Relay was a 106-day run, from October 30, 2009 until February 12, 2010, prior to the 2010 Winter Olympics. Plans for the relay were originally announced November 21, 2008 by the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

Jack Poole Plaza:

• The Jack Poole Plaza adjacent to the West building is now a landmark in Vancouver. Home to the majestic Cauldron that burned brightly during the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
• The Convention Centre offers 57,964 ft2 (5,385 m2) of plaza space surrounding its two buildings, perfect to extend the scope of an event with outdoor activations.
