An (Olympic) Torch to Bear ...

You could be a 2010 Olympic Torchbearer!

You could be one of the thousands chosen to carry the Olympic Torch as it travels across Canada to the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Thousands will be chosen at random to participate in this once in a lifetime opportunity. All Canadians over the age of 13 are eligible, regardless of their physical abilities. It's just a short 300 metres for each torchbearer. You can walk or jog - whatever you are comfortable with. Visit the "Carry the Torch" website for more information, including an entry form. About the Olympic Torch Relay The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay is proudly co-presented by RBC and Coca-Cola in partnership with the Vancouver 2010 Organizing Committee. The 2010 Olympic Torch Relay begins its journey to Vancouver with a traditional lighting ceremony in Olympia, Greece. The Olympic Flame will then travel 45,000 kilometres across Canada, passing through every province and territory. Twelve thousand Canadians will have the privilege of carrying the Olympic Flame over the course of 100 days. The relay will culminate at BC Place on February 12, 2010, with the lighting of the Olympic Cauldron, signalling the start of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
