The series consists of meeting minutes, budgeting records, work authorization, memoranda, correspondence, notes, draft design plans, and draft agreements dating from 2003 to 2010 in the lead-up to, and wrap-up from, the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games. The records were created by the BC Olympic Games Secretariat in its role as co-chair of the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic Games (VANOC)’s Finance Committee. The series consists of meeting records from the Finance Committee, the Audit Committee, the Health Sector Advisory Committee and the Board of Directors. Some of the records in the series were originally created by VANOC and passed into the custody of the BC Games Secretariat. Records in the series provide evidence of the relationship between provincial agencies and the International and Canadian Olympic Committees, as well as the relationships between the Secretariat and other government bodies. The records also provide evidence of all aspects of Olympic Games preparation, including discussions regarding venues, transit allowances, advertising, media rights, branding, hiring of volunteers and employees, plans for the ceremonial ‘hand off’ at the Torino Closing Ceremonies and meetings with Jacques Rogge, president of the IOC.

The records are arranged by Committee type and meeting date. Records appear to have been originally bound in Cerlox, but these were removed prior to the records’ transferal to the BC Archives. The records are covered by ARCS 200-20 (Committee files).
