Long before human enterprise adopted the stunning natural beauty of British Columbia as its own, the majestic grizzly bear called these mountains, shores, and forests home. The grizzly is a mighty force of nature, the top of the food chain, the elite among wildlife. It is at once a predator and a fully integrated member of its natural habitat, both a beacon of strength and a protector of terrain.
It is only fitting, then, that this revered creature should become the symbol of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games, an event that celebrates the elite of sport in a global community united in the name of athleticism, strength, and agility, right here in Vancouver and Whistler.
Grouse Mountain proudly introduces The Patriot Bear, an enduring symbol of these games. It is a universally acknowledged resident of this geography and a thrilling spectacle to behold for those lucky enough to find one.
Equipped with traditional grizzly bear bells - the Official Celebratory Noisemaker of Vancouver’s North Shore - the Patriot Bear is not just a keepsake of the Games, but an authentic symbol of where they took place.
