November 27th, 2007 the Vancouver 2010 mascots were revealed at the Bell Performing Arts Centre in Surrey in front of an audience of 800 school children.
Miga, Quatchi and Sumi are designed by Meomi Design, a Vancouver- based company.
Miga is a sea bear who loves snowboarding.
Quatchi is a shy sasquatch who dreams of being a world famous (ice hockey) goalie.
Sumi is a guardian spirit who wears the hat of an orca, flies with the wings of the Thunderbird and runs on the legs of the black bear. Sumi is a big fan of all the Paralympic sports.
Joining the three mascots is their sidekick, Mukmuk. Mukmuk is a rare marmot unique to Vancouver Island. Mukmuk escaped from his cyber world only status on the 27th November 2008.
Today they are 2. Tomorrow they have a birthday party at The Bay in downtown Vancouver and you are invited to attend.
Thanks to Andrea here all the details:
To celebrate the mascots 2nd birthday, I have 4 pins to give away.
First up this Bell pin was given out in 2007 for the mascot launch in exchange for a coupon from the local newspaper. They are hard to come by and this one could be yours.
We're Next - A retail pin with a limited edition of 1000.
Mascot totem pin - this is not sold in stores. It's sometime given out at mascot appearances.
Visa Mascot pin - a sponsor pin, that's not sold in stores.
