Opportunities

300,000 visitors arrived in 2010! Together we had an impact.

Thank you for all your time, support, volunteering and for the radical hospitality you gave to the world! More than Gold created public spaces - areas of welcome - to connect with visitors and locals. Expressing radical hospitality in witness, service and social initiatives, MTG called the community to collaborate for impact during the games and to establish networks of action that continue - toward the transformation of our cities.  And the community responded! MTG had more than 4,000 volunteers spread radical hospitality to all of Vancouver and its visitors. Let's keep up the momentum! These six areas of opportunity are led by 'Working Groups' of people from various organizations and churches.
