Selected youth (19-29 years of age) will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to participate and perform in cultural activities in the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. In addition to culture, programming for the Gathering will focus on healthy living, sport, leadership, sustainability and the Olympic Truce. Guest speakers will include Olympians and Paralympians, Aboriginal athletes and other role models.
Participation is on a non-paid, volunteer basis; transportation, accommodation and meals will be provided by VANOC, the FHFN, the Government of Canada and Provincial/Territorial governments.
