16.0 Summary
Successful weather services for the Vancouver 2010 Games relied, in the final analysis, on an all-of-MSC (indeed much of EC) effort. Meteorological Operations, Monitoring, Science, Services, IT, Administrative and Communications staff at all levels participated in the Games; 240 in total throughout the development of the program. The goodwill we received and relied on in Vancouver from all parts of the organization made it possible for us to be proud of our efforts when the last medal was awarded and the athletes went home.
