Vancouver and Whistler city officials will be joined by First Nations representatives at a news conference today to announce the formation of an ‘historic sporting partnership’ that’s expected to explore a bid for the 2030 Winter Olympics.

The announcement is scheduled for 1 p.m. local time at the BC Sports Hall of Fame.

Vancouver and Whistler previously hosted the Winter Games in 2010.
