⭐ Core Definition: Garibaldi, British Columbia

Garibaldi, originally named Daisy Lake and also known as Garibaldi Lodge and Garibaldi Townsite, is a locality and ghost town in British Columbia, Canada, on the Cheakamus River around its confluence with Rubble Creek and just south of Daisy Lake. The CN railway (formerly BC Rail) and British Columbia Highway 99 traverses it north–south.

Although some buildings remain, including public works facilities, the community is now officially depopulated due to the geohazard posed by the Barrier, a lava dam holding back Garibaldi Lake that has let go at various points in the past; Rubble Creek, the source of which is Garibaldi Lake, gets its name from the large boulder field created by successive degenerations of the Barrier.

👉 Garibaldi, British Columbia in the context of 1980 Winter Olympics

The 1980 Winter Olympics, officially the XIII Olympic Winter Games and also known as Lake Placid 1980, were an international multi-sport event held from February 13 to 24, 1980, in Lake Placid, New York, United States.

Lake Placid was elected as the host city for the 1980 Winter Games at the 75th International Olympic Committee (IOC) Session in Vienna, Austria in 1974. This marked the second time the Upstate New York village hosted the Winter Games, after 1932. The only other candidate city to bid for the 1980 games, Vancouver-Garibaldi withdrew before the final vote. This was the second of two consecutive Olympic games held in North America, following the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
