Program for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics
Opening Ceremony
The opening ceremony will feature a re-enactment of the history of the
government of British Columbia, performed by a professional clown troupe and a
used car salesman. A flock of peace doves will then be released to celebrate
Canada”s freedoms. The doves will be available in local ethnic dining
establishments shortly after the ceremony.
Next will be an exciting display of synchronized SUV parking. The SUVs will then
be stolen. This will be followed by a large variety of performances celebrating
the diversity of Canada”s culture. Riot police will be in attendance to keep the
performers apart.
A separate, simultaneous opening ceremony will be held in French. This event
will be lavishly funded by the federal government and will receive extensive
coverage on CBC. It is expected to have a total of 7 attendees.
