Administrative history

HISTORY:
The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC) was established on 30 September 2003, two months after the Vancouver 2010 Bid Corporation won its bid for the 2010 Games from the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

VANOC was established in accordance with the Olympic Charter to organize the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (“the 2010 Games”) in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, in February 2010. VANOC’s mandate was to support and promote the development of sport in Canada by planning, organizing, financing and staging the 2010 Games. Though many of VANOC’s board members served with the Bid Corporation, the two institutions had distinct mandates.

VANOC was guided by a 20-member board of directors nominated by the Government of Canada, the Province of British Columbia, the City of Vancouver, the Resort Municipality of Whistler, the Canadian Olympic Committee, the Canadian Paralympic Committee and the Squamish and Lil'wat First Nations. As an organization, VANOC reported to the Canadian Olympic Committee and the International Olympic Committee. Its chief officer was John Furlong. VANOC's vision was a stronger Canada whose spirit is raised by its passion for sport, culture and sustainability. Its stated mission was “to touch the soul of the nation and inspire the world by creating and delivering an extraordinary Olympic and Paralympic experience with lasting legacies.”

The XXI Olympic Winter Games was staged in Vancouver and Whistler from February 12 to 28, 2010. The X Paralympic Winter Games was staged in Vancouver and Whistler from March 12 to 21, 2010.

LEGAL STATUS:
VANOC was incorporated as a not-for-profit organization under the Canada Corporations Act, and awarded Public Authority status under the Act.

MANDATES AND SOURCES OF AUTHORITY:
The mandate and governance structure of VANOC were provided for in the Multiparty Agreement for the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, signed 14 November 2002. Parties to this agreement were the Government of Canada (as represented by the Minister of Canadian Heritage), the Province of British Columbia (as represented by the Minister of Community, Aboriginal and Women's Services), the City of Vancouver, the Resort Municipality of Whistler, the Canadian Olympic Committee, the Canadian Paralympic Committee, and the Vancouver 2010 Bid Corporation. The Multiparty Agreement established the obligation among the parties to create an organizing committee for the games, and their responsibilities to support the planning and execution of the games if Vancouver's bid was successful.

VANOC's self-stated mandate was: "To support and promote the development of sport in Canada by planning, organizing, financing and staging the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games."

Custodial history

The contents of the fonds were managed by VANOC, its contractors and partners. Some of the records were transferred to VANOC by the Vancouver 2010 Bid Corporation. After the conclusion of the Games in March 2010, VANOC dissolved incrementally over the next several months until only a few essential employees remained as of October 2011.

The majority of the records of the Games were officially transferred to the City of Vancouver Archives between April and October of 2011. However, some of the digital materials containing records from projects associated with the Brand and Creative functional group were removed from VANOC premises and later returned before being transferred to the City of Vancouver Archives.

The Archival Material Agreement, which dictates the terms and conditions of the acquisition of the VANOC archives, was signed on November 19, 2011, by the City, the IOC, the COC, and VANOC, which allowed the City to commence processing the records.
