It only makes sense that Chestermere would be chosen, as we are only 5 miles from Calgary and right on the Trans Canada Highway. We will have three torch bearers from our town. Chestermere has three Olympic heros that I know of. They are Cary Mullen, Alyssa Hatton and Joshua Riker-Fox. Wouldn't it be wonderful if they could carry the torch for Chestermere and Canada.
