                                                                                                               2010 is the year that millions of people have been awaiting! Finally the Winter Olympics are making its way back to Canada! As the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver get underway there is of course the traditional torch relay through Canada. The relay reaches over 1,000 communities and places of interest where the 12,000 torchbearers will carry the Olympic Flame. How amazing that almost 90% of Canada's population will be within a one-hour drive of experiencing the Olympic Flame as over 45,000 km will be travelled!

It began on October 30th in Victoria and will be coming through Ottawa on Day 44, December 12th at 7pm.

The arrival of the flame will coincide with the 25th edition of Christmas Lights Across Canada will be launched with an illumination ceremony on Parliament Hill. The festivities on Parliament Hill will begin at 5:45pm. Everyone is welcome at Parliament Hill to join the celebration for this special moment in the countdown to the 2010 Winter Games.

This is truly a once in a lifetime experience for many people! Come on out to Parliament Hill on December 12th to share the magic with our Nation's Capital!
