With 100 days to go before the opening ceremony, CBC is asking whether the 2010 Winter Olympics are good for the community.

Ian Hanomansingh and Rick Cluff are co-hosts for a special forum Wednesday from 7:30 to 9 p.m. to discuss the costs and benefits of the Games.

Panelists include Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, VANOC vice-president Renee Smith-Valade, Nagano 1998 gold medal snowboarder Ross Rebagliati, B.C. Civil Liberties Association's Micheal Vonn and Games critic Chris Shaw.

The forum, co-presented with 24 hours, airs live on CBC Radio One (88.1 FM or 690 AM).
