Better late than never the media reports exclaimed.

The City of Surrey has joined the Olympic family agreeing to give the 2010 Winter Olympics organizers $2M and advance the contrcution of a $10.5M recreation centre to be used as a preperation site for the games.

The rec centre will be built in Tom Binnie Park in Whaley and will be used for some pre-Games operations including recruiting and training volunteers, ceremony participants, and short-term temporary staff.

In return, Surrey, will be allowed to officially deem itself a "venue city".
