Let’s start with some local watch parties! In addition to screenings via CBC/Radio Canada, TSN, and RDS, Metro Vancouver residents can head to the Richmond Oval (6111 River Road, Richmond) for in-person viewing from 9 am to 11 pm daily.

Not only will the theatre transform for Olympics coverage, but every television screen across the building and fitness centre will be tuned to the games as well!

Another free viewing party will take place from July 26th to August 11th at UBC’s Wesbrook Village. All the games will be screened under a large tent at Norman MacKenzie Square (3315 Wesbrook Mall), so grab your lawn chairs and a bite from one of the many nearby eateries and enjoy the festive atmosphere!
