The 2010 Olympic Winter Games were held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, from February 12 to 28, 2010. The torch run was a significant part of the event, with the Olympic flame being carried across the country by over 12,000 torchbearers over 106 days. The torch travelled a distance of approximately 45,000 kilometres, passing through over 1,000 communities before arriving in Vancouver for the opening ceremony.

Bombardier, a Canadian transportation company, designed the aluminum and stainless steel torch. The torch had a unique design, with 4,000 circular holes representing the number of torchbearers and communities the torch passed through. It was also equipped with a unique burner to withstand strong winds and freezing temperatures, ensuring the flame remained lit throughout the run.

Another notable aspect of the 2010 Winter Games was the Pride House, a safe space for members of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies. Pride House was established during the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver and was the first at any Olympic or Paralympic Games. The house provided a venue for events, workshops, and discussions around LGBTQ+ issues and supported LGBTQ+ athletes, coaches, and fans.

The event to discuss Pride House was held at the Vancouver LGTB community centre and was attended by representatives from the LGBTQ+ community, sports organizations, and government officials. The event aimed to raise awareness of the importance of creating inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals in sports and discuss the progress made in this area. The event also highlighted the need for continued efforts to address discrimination and promote equality in sports.
