It was lit by Canadian hockey legend Wayne Gretzky at the conclusion of the Olympic Opening Ceremony at BC Place stadium. The cauldron is in Jack Poole Plaza.
The plaza will be officially dedicated at a later date in memory of Poole, the founding chairman of VANOC’s board of directors. Poole passed away in October 2009 just hours after the Olympic Flame was lit in Greece signaling the start of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay.
