Yesterday evening, I watched -- along with thousands of other people lining Yonge St. -- the Olympic torch bearer jog along surrounded by trucks, music, police on bicycles and as well as in squad cars, to the cheers and roars of the crowd. It was a fantastic experience, one I would not have missed for the world. There was a very special feeling in the air, of huge support for our athletes as well as national pride. It was quite emotional, and once again I gave thanks for being able to live in such a great country. We may be small, we may be quiet, but in the main we have it really really good!
Our small town is getting the torch come thru on Sunday January 10th.....some of us are really EXCITED! Its a once in a lifetime sight I feel!
