Vancouver Host City Pins

All Vancouver Host City Pins are shown in the order in which they were produced and released. All Vancouver Host City Pins are only given out to staff members, special dignitaries who visit the
VANOC and city offices or for dignitaries who were visited by City officials. They are distributed at special events. In all but a few cases each pin was produced in very low quantities. Look for the
“Rating” which denotes the scarcity of each pin. The Official Pin Licensee for all domestic production and manufacturing is Artiss Aminco
