TransCanada and the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC) have announced TransCanada as the Official Supplier in the Natural Gas Pipeline Operator category for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. The partnership was announced at the University of Calgary campus, site of the TransCanada Arch. The Arch was created in honour of the 1988 Winter Olympic Games in Calgary.

TransCanada’s financial contribution will help support Canadian athletes in their pursuit of excellence competing at the 2010 Winter Games and beyond. It also designates TransCanada as the Official Supplier for the Canadian Olympic Team competing in Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012. Building on TransCanada’s proud Olympic history with the Calgary 1988 Olympic Winter Games as part of Team Petroleum, this partnership provides TransCanada with Official Supplier sponsorship rights to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

TransCanada takes pride in lending its support to communities across North America, and our commitment to communities extends to helping ensure the success of such world-class events.
