Poll: We loved the Olympics, enjoyed hosting the world

People have fond memories

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - We liked them!  We really, really liked them!  Our Olympic legacy is nearly one-year-old and most people have fond memories.  "The camaraderie and the people getting together.  The good times that were had by all," says one man.

A new Ipsos-Reid poll done for Global BC finds that almost one year later we haven't lost that exciting feeling of the 2010 Games.

Eighty-one per cent of British Columbians who were asked earlier this month agreed the Games were a hit.  The survey found people in Metro Vancouver are more likely to tell you that hosting the Olympics were worth it, compared to people in other parts of the province.
