In some ways this is the saddest blog I have to write, it is also one of the happiest. I am sad that it is over, yet so happy with the results of these Vancouver Olympic Games.

Canada’s last gold medal of these Olympic Games was the one that most Canadian’s were waiting to see. In a nail biting overtime time win, Canada beat the USA in men’s ice hockey 3 to 2.  At the closing ceremonies, the crowd in the stands actually let out a sigh when the  IOC president  declared the games closed, as no one wanted the games to be over. This has been the best Olympics for Canada in so many ways, outside of the Gold Medal Records for a nation at the winter games and the most Gold Medals by a host nation at a winter Olympic Games.

What most impressed me was the positive spin that the American broadcaster NBC gave to not only how well organized these games were, but to many of the Gold Medal winning Canadian athletes. In fact a lot of the international media had nothing but praise today for how well the Vancouver Olympics were run, and how well that Canadian’s stepped up to the podium, even though they did not live up to their “own the podium” claims.  While we did not meet the standards set by the “Own the Podium” predictions, our athletes surpassed any possible Gold Medal predictions that the program expected…. They did own the Gold.

Over the past 17 days, I have been very impressed with the professionalism by the athletes and the thousands of volunteers who smiled and cheered on the athletes of all countries. In the words of the Vanoc president “Cypress mountain 1, Volunteers 3”, the volunteers were the real hero’s of the Vancouver Olympic Games.

On behalf of all the staff and support member of Telsec Toronto office space, I have to say congratulations Team Canada and congratulations to the Vancouver Organizing  Committee. You did our nation proud. You made Canada shine on an international stage where many had predicted you would fail.

While the Olympic games may be over there are still the paralympic games to come and Canada is expected to earn lots of medals there too.

As this blogger watched the opening ceremonies of 2010 Olympic game (yes on TV, because I could not get press credentials as the Telsec Blogger) I was impressed by the artistic show that was put on. Then came the parade of nations. I was a little confused by some of the nations who entered one or two athletes. I know that there is no winter in Africa or Australia, so where do these people train?

This is a chance for Canada to show the world how multicultural it is, as some of the athletes from many of these obscure countries are actually from Canada and have gone back to the homelands of their parents and grand parents, just so they could compete at these games.

Since I was watching on the opening ceremonies on TV, I got the privilege of also seeing the commercials. One commercial that stood out the most to me was the commercial for the province of Ontario.  The message was that Ontario is where Canada works. While the Olympics are in Canada’s playground, Ontario is where Canada works.

There is no place that represents where Canada works like Telsec. Toronto office space at Telsec is where many companies choose to grow their business.

Your company could be a Olympic gold medal class company, if you had an office at the number one address on Canada’s most recognized street, Yonge Street.
