Tie Commonwealth Games are held every four years, and this is only the fourth
time that Canada will host the Games in 64 years. It is an honour for Western
Canada to have the opportunity to be involved in an event of this calibre and British
Columbia will reap a rich legacy. With your help, we can spread the message that
there is something special happening in Victoria next summer.

We've enclosed information on the Games’ preparations. If you need further
information, please contact Anna—Maria Wood of the Victoria Commonwealth Games
Society at (604) 995-2105.

Catch the Spirit and share in British Columbia's pride as we host the Commonwealth!

Yours sincerely,

Robin Blencoe David Turner
Minister of Municipal Affairs, Mayor
Recreation and Housing , City of Victoria
and Minister Responsible
for the Commonwealth Games
