On 12 August 2012, the curtain will fall on the London Summer Olympics. Much has been said about the legacy of the games and how it could benefit the city and its population, but only time will tell if this can be achieved.

One place London could learn from is Whistler in British Columbia, Canada. The resort was host to the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, and they are proud of the lasting impact the events have had.

With a vastly improved highway, two brand new competition venues, Whistler Olympic Plaza, the AthletesÂ’ Village housing complex and the lifelong memories gained from hosting the world, Whistler will never be the same.
