Volunteers will be handing out ribbons to create a sea of colour. The Olympic flag will be flying at the hall and there will be welcome signs in the official Olympic languages. The event is intended not only to celebrate the Olympics, but our community spirit. It is opportunity to express our pride and appreciation for who we are and where we live. We hope to have between 500 and 750 people, so please arrive early and enjoy the afternoon in gorgeous Lion's Bay. The Torch will enter at the Lions Bay Ave entrance and will travel up, over Harvey Creek onto Cross Creek Road, past the Village Hall and then down Centre Road and back onto the Sea to Sky Highway. They will be given an honour guard salute from the Lions Bay Fire Rescue as they re-enter the Hwy. Spectators will be lead by a bagpiper, Stu Morton, to the underpass, where the Aerial performances will take place. Here you can mingle and enjoy complementary refreshments while warming up by fire drums, listening to the drumming of Klatle-Bhi Sam.
