Olympic Torch Relay Reminds Of Canada Winter Games Torch Relay
October 31, 2009 Filed in: 2007 CWG Torch Relay
I attended the Olympic Torch Relay when it passed through Nanaimo, B.C. on Halloween night, October 31, 2009. The final runner was a two time gold medal olympian, from Nanaimo.
I was reminded of the first Canada Winter Games Torch Relay I attended, in 2006. Ramish Ferris, pictured below, was carrying the Yukon Torch during the Deep Creek/Lake Lebarge Torch Relay.
Ramish was carrying the torch prior to his cross-Canada marathon to raise money to help eradicate polio from the developing world.
Over the next few months, I hope to upload images and text from the 2007 Canada Winter Games Torch Relay. There are images from almost all of the communities of Canada's three northern territories: Yukon, NWT and Nunavut.
