Heritage Minister James Moore attended an International Media Centre celebratory event in Vancouver Tuesday with the new ice-dance champions and said the name of the Own the Podium program should not be taken literally. “It’s not, ‘First place or bust,’ ” said Moore. “It’s … ‘Go for gold and go for broke and do yourself proud and perform at the best of your ability.'”
