Our Group's Winter Olympic Experience
Nearly 200 communities across Canada will have the opportunity to gather and participate in the 2010 Olympic Torch Relay community celebrations...and we'll be in British Columbia during the excitement. Our home base for the trip will be in northern Port Moody BC near Belcarra. The itinerary includes school visits to read with children, meetings with Rotary Clubs and Rotaract clubs, several Junior Hockey games and a roadtrip packed of Olympic torch community celebrations. More trip details will be added as they are confirmed.
British Columbia Torch Relay Route has actually been named the Northern Lights tour...pretty cool connection.
Our team will leave Minneapolis Tuesday February 2 after the Northern Lights Junior A Hockey team's send-off game January 31. Where we will be during our trip...
