Village of Lake Placid Mayor Jamie Rogers returned to Lake Placid from the Oct. 9-11 first-ever General Assembly of the World Union of Olympic Cities. The two-day Summit, held in Lausanne, Switzerland, featured 39 summer and winter Olympic cities discussing urban, socio-political and environmental issues that arise from hosting the Olympic Games.
During the Summit, Mayor Rogers and Lausanne Mayor Daniel Brélaz exchanged Proclamations of Friendships and International Goodwill between the two cities. In recent years, Lake Placid has also signed Proclamations of Friendship and International Goodwill with other winter Olympic host cities including Albertville, France; Calgary, Canada; Lillehammer Norway; Salt Lake City, Utah, USA and Torino, Italy.
