Schwarzenegger has made a number of visits to Vancouver for both filming during his acting career and meetings with former Premier Gordon Campbell when he was the Governor. The two leaders were known to have found common ground on climate change policies.

On the morning of February 12, 2010, Schwarzenegger was in Vancouver to carry the Olympic Torch along the Stanley Park seawall near the Brockton Point Lighthouse. He passed the flame to Sebastian Coe, the chairman of the London 2012 Olympic Games Organizing Committee.
