Olympic torch is en route

The Olympic torch will employ 12,000 runners to carry the Olympic flame across Canada. They have begun the 106-day, 45,000km (28,000 miles) relay as of today.

On 10 Dec 2009, the Olympic torch will be passing through my original home town of Deux Montagnes QC. On 12 Dec 2009, it will be in Aylmer QC, where my sister and family live. It will arrive in Kingston, where my father-in-law, brother-in-law and mother-in-law live on 14 Dec 2009, and departs the next day on the 15th. My sister-in-law in Kincardine will get to see it on 28 Dec 2009. My other brother-in-law can see it at CFB Borden on 29 Dec 2009. The torch will arrive in Calgary on 18 Jan 2010 and will depart the next day.

The Olympic torch will arrive in BC Place Stadium to open the ceremonies on 12 Feb2010.
