On February 12, to mark the opening of the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, residents at the Peninsula took a break from their usual gourmet meals and were treated to a special Olympic theme Kraft Mac 'n' Cheese dinner. The prize for Best Dressed Couple went to Carole Crossley and Jack Barton and everyone enjoyed watching the opening ceremonies broadcast in the dining room.

More recently on March 16, during the Paralympic Games, residents were treated to a visit from torch bearer and Olympic volunteer Ron Hinkelman who shared his experiences and provided a photo op with the Olympic Torch.
Torch Bearer Ron Hinkelman with Jack Barton and Carole Crossley:
As we say goodbye to the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games held on our beautiful West Coast, we will remember the camaraderie, the joy, the cheering and the pride as we celebrated together.
