How many Canadian cities and towns will you visit along the Torch Route beginning and ending dates?
Randy: We started the 2010 Olympic Torch Relay in Victoria on October the 30th 2009 and we will go straight through to Vancouver to deliver the Flame to the doors of the opening ceremonies on February the 12th 2010. The Vancouver 2010 Torch Relay is the longest domestic Relay in Olympic history. It is a 45000 KM journey, over 106 days that will visit 1,035 Canadian communities and there will be 189 community celebrations. We will visit many historic locations, provincial capitals; national capital, former Olympic host cities (Montreal & Calgary), aboriginal and First Nations hamlets and villages, Armed Force Bases and we will travel to the arctic with a stop at Canadian Forces Station in Alert (Nunavut). This stop will write a new page in Olympic history as it will be the furthest north the Flame has ever traveled. CCA: What have you done to prepare for this once in a lifetime role? Randy: Sleeping lots hahahaha! Seriously, getting as much info as possible on the different communities
