It’s all about community.
The 2010 Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
Think about it. What does the Olympic movement represent?
The people of the world coming together as a community.
And British Columbia’s communities will play a key role in celebrating the 2010 Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
That’s why the Olympic torch relay will visit 42 British Columbia communities when it returns to the province to begin the home stretch to the opening of the Olympic Games in Vancouver.
Everything starts with a Community Celebration in Golden on Thursday, January 21 — a road trip like no other — community after community.
British Columbians identify strongly with their communities. Each torch-relay community will celebrate uniquely.
What is happening in your community when the Olympic torch arrives?
British Columbians want to know. Canadians want to know.
