Leader's message

A 2014 Legacy for Glasgow

 

A message from Gordon Matheson, Leader of Glasgow City Council

 

In the summer of 2014, Glasgow will play host to over 6,500 athletes and officials from the 71 territories of the Commonwealth.  Hundreds of thousands of people will visit our city to experience the Games.


 

It is our vision that every Glasgow citizen will be involved in the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games in some way.


 

The Games will be two weeks of magic and you can be part of it, whether as a spectator, volunteer, worker or for a special few, competitor.


 

We are also determined that every Glaswegian will take something from the event that will remain with them.  Everyone will take home memories, but we also want them to take home aspirations for the future.


 

The Games will leave a lasting legacy and it is our ambition that it will be a People Legacy.  If we can achieve this together our Games will be a true success.
