The Canadian Olympic Committee have put together the most extensive running of an Olympic Torch in Olympic history.It began 78 days ago in Victoria,British Columbia and has travelled all across Canada ,zigzagging as it goes,travelling 45,000 kilometers on it's way.The torch runners chosen to carry the torch, 12,000 strong,will each run 300 meters(984 feet).It will travel by land,air and water to over 1000 communities before arriving in Vancouver in time for the lighting of the Olympic Cauldron to begin the games in Vancouver on February 12th.
These images were taken today as the torch travelled through our community of Beaumont.It was quite electrifying I must say as it approached.
