I’m most like Miga because we both like blueberries and hot cocoa. I live on Vancouver Island just like Miga. We also like going on adventures and snowboarding. I like learning new tricks. Once I did one on my skateboard! I almost fell but I didn’t because I was wearing a helmet. Lucky for me! Miga is a sea bear and orca whale. I love orca whales! I heard Miga is the youngest in her family. I’m not the youngest anymore because we have a new baby in our family. I liked being the youngest ! My favorite colour is fern green too. OLYMPIC MASCOTS

  9. The logo and Inukshuk mascot of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics is based on the Canadian Inuit Inukshuk. The Inukshuk is a stone marker used by the Inuit in Northern Canada. It helps them find them way traveling over the Arctic tundra. The new Olympic logo mascot is named “Ilanaaq” which means “friend” in The native Inuit Inuktitut language. Rivera MacGregor claims that her winning design represents the culture, environment and people of Canada. 2010 Vancouver winter Olympics logo.
