As thousands blue jackets are working for the games, I am proud to be one of them. What is even more special is that I work in the Olympic Village. Every time I walk around the Village, seeing athletes from around the world wearing their uniforms and hanging their national flags on the balconies, I feel so privileged to be part of this world-class event.

Because of the tragedy of the luge athlete at the beginning of the Games, Georgian flags are hanging everywhere with a black rope. Every time a Georgian athlete competes, everyone is cheering for them.

With not much tasks on hand for the most of the time, I had the chance to get to know other vollies and watch the Games together. Those long shift hours aren’t seemed that long at the end. Every one of us comes here with a unique background. For example, our team lead, Angela, had been to and worked for four Olympic Games. She even brought a Paralympic Torch from 2008 Beijing Games! And of course, I brought my Olympic Torch from these Games.

RCMPs from across the country are here, and they always put on smiles when we pass by.  :)
