The sites, built to an international environmental standard, will host events ranging from Alpine skiing to bobsled and luge. Competition will be held at Whistler Sliding Centre, the Whistler Olympic Park and Whistler Creekside.
The early completion means the sites can be used for training by Canadian athletes two years before the games. Several Olympic venues remain under construction in the Vancouver area.
John Furlong, chief executive of the Vancouver Olympic Organizing Committee, paid tribute to the 2,500 workers."
