The Canadian Olympic Experience
Located at the building which also hosts the offices of the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC), the Canadian Olympic Experience celebrates the country’s long association with the Games and was created in honour of its athletes.
This interactive multimedia space is open to the general public and uses state-of-the-art technology to bring the Olympic experience to life for visitors. In the first of its three zones, they can try a number of Olympic sports and engage in virtual challenges with Canadian Olympians such as sprinter Bruny Surin, a men’s 4x100m relay gold medallist at Atlanta 1996. Zone 2 showcases Olympic history and what it takes to compete at the Games, while Zone 3 leads visitors on an immersive journey into the stadium itself and through the history of Canada’s Olympic achievements.
The building displays the Olympic rings on its façade and provides a material reminder of the Games, embodying the Olympic spirit for the country’s athletes and people.
