In 2007 I wrote a three-volume report on lasting legacies of North American Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games for the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC).
The report, which can be accessed online, examines the legacies of the Lake Placid 1980, Calgary 1988 and Salt Lake 2002 Games. To read them, go to these links:
