Karyo Edelman helps City of Vancouver launch digital engagement program for LiveCity Vancouver

LiveCity Vancouver is all about celebration and sharing the moment,” says Mayor Gregor Robertson. “It is about the chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with neighbours from around the block or across the country as well as new friends and visitors to our city – to experience the excitement and celebrate the true spirit of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games together.”
Leading up to the Games, the LiveCity Vancouver program will give the public a chance to share their excitement and experiences online, and then stay connected and continue sharing their experiences at LiveCity Vancouver once the Games begin.
The LiveCity website features the full program of activities and performances that will be taking place at LiveCity Vancouver, along with Twitter feedsthat will aggregate tweets from the public with official LiveCity Vancouver “Twitter Ambassadors,” tweeting live from the event.
The Facebook pageinvites fans to share “welcome” messages and photos with the world. Fans also have the chance to win a LiveCity Vancouver sponsor prize pack, including an Acer notebook computer, Coca-Cola Koolatron fridge, Panasonic HD TV, Samsung Vice Handset and apparel from the Province of Manitoba – just by becoming a fan of the page.
