The 2010 Winter Olympics was a major event in the history of Canada because it was held internationally in Vancouver, BC, which 2600 athletes participated from 82 different nations in 86 events. Previously Canada hosted the summer Olympics in Quebec in the year of 1976 aswell as the Winter Olympics in Alberta in 1988. This was the 3rd time Canada hosted the Olympics which was held in various locations of British Columbia. Also Canada had won 14 gold medals, 17 silver, and 5 bronze, a total of 26 medals and a ranking of number 1 out of 82 nations.
This is a proud moment in Canadian history because Canada had came 1st place on Canadian soil. Also it showed how much spirit and talent Canada has. It also exposed Canada throughout globally.
