Vancouver Paralympics feature free activities

There's still a party goin' on in British Columbia. This time, it's for the 2010 Vancouver Paralympic Games, which run March 12-21, 2010.

I was in Vancouver March 15-16 and there were people waiting in line for the popular zipline across Robson Square. But no more 7-8 hour waits, now it's only three hours (no, I didn't queue up, but I've done the Ziptrek at Whistler and it was scary but fun).

Here are other free things to do in Vancouver:

Olympic Cauldron


Ice skating at Robson Square

BC Pavllion at the Vancouver Art Gallery

Canada's Northern House

LiveCity Downtown

Royal Canadian Mint Pavilion


Hudson Bay Company for Olympic gear (drastically reduced but really picked over)
