Well the excitement is growing in Chilliwack as preparations continue for the arrival of the Olympic Flame. The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay will arrive in Chilliwack on February 7, 2010.
"Chilliwack is abuzz with anticipation of the arrival of the Olympic Flame and the celebration that will follow," said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. "Our residents always support community events and we are expecting a large crowd to cheer on the torch bearers and join the celebration."
In Chilliwack, a new torchbearer will carry the flame every 300 metres through our community as part of the 45,000 kilometre journey across Canada; the longest domestic torch relay in Olympic history. 160 torch bearers have been selected to carry the flame in Chilliwack. Yeah I took a double take at that one too!
