London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games
Harlow is one of the closest Districts to
where the majority of London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic
Games events will be held. This places Harlow in a
fantastic position to take advantage of the many opportunities
surrounding London 2012. Harlow Council is working with
partners to ensure Harlow achieves a lasting legacy from London
2012.
The Council and partners are currently working
towards legacy benefits such as increasing participation in sport
and physical activity, promoting healthy lifestyles, employer
engagement, image promotion, volunteering, training and
apprenticeships, the Cultural Olympiad and Pre Games Training
Camps.
Progress to date has included a successful
application for Harlow Leisure Zone to be included in the Official
Pre Games Training Camp Guide, a visit to Harlow by Olympics
Minister Tessa Jowell and a successful Handover Event on 24.08.2008
which was part of national network of coordinated events and
received regional press coverage. A range of successful
Cultural Olympiad events have also taken place.
