With the 2026 Olympic Winter Games starting in Italy, the Maple Ridge Museum and Archives showed a piece of local history from the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
A street scene shows Maple Ridge with a Canadian flag hanging in the middle of 224th Street at Dewdney Trunk Road, and a crowd awaiting the arrival of the Olympic torch. It was the morning of Feb. 8, 2010.
The 2026 Milano-Cortina Olympic Games were officially opened on Friday, and flag-bearers and skiers Mikaël Kingsbury and Marielle Thompson led out Team Canada for the parade of nations.
