With the 2010 Olympics, we have experienced something that will remain with us forever. The Games was a time for the Lower Mainland and Canada to shine in the global spotlight.

Each of us had an opportunity to participate, whether it be wearing a pair of the outrageously popular red mittens, cheering on our favourite athletes, or volunteering in one of the many positions that make the Games happen.

Some of our members who volunteered look back on their experiences.

Driving the games

Trying to navigate your way around Vancouver can be annoying at times, but not when you’re an Olympic driver like Morley Lercher, RE/MAX Select Properties.

Morley scored a position driving athletes, IOC delegates, and consultants around in one of the 250 white SUVs used for the Games. Sometimes Morley would take a delegate a couple of blocks down the street for a meeting, or he would meet people at the airport and drive them further afield.

Regardless of who he was driving, Morley enjoyed meeting and speaking with people from around the world. In one case, he had a passenger who was a Hungarian living in Beijing, consulting for the Russians while they were here in Canada.
