ORILLIA - Months of preparation and a flurry of last-minute legwork have left the city well positioned to host the Olympic torch relay when it arrives in Orillia on Dec. 30, officials say.Right now, I am getting e-mails just about every day to make sure everything is set, said Paul Barnetson, marketing coordinator for the parks and recreation department. There is a lot of labour intensive stuff behind the scenes. It has been very interesting.http://www.orilliapacket.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2239630
The local leg of the nation-wide torch relay begins at the Zehrs parking lot at about 9:30 a.m., traveling down Coldwater Road to West Street, where it will head south for one block to Mississaga Street.Moving east along Mississaga, the torch will then turn south on Front Street and stop for a short welcome ceremony in front of the chamber of commerce building at about 9:55 a.m., before concluding its journey through Orillia at Thor Motors.

  • FUCK COCA COLA

  • This is horrible --- nothing but coporate advertising... Vancouver does not even want the Olympics because it is not about sport it is only corporate advertising. The people of Chicago were smarter they voted against having the olympics there... what kind of a world are we leaving to our children and grandchildren..????

  • woo orillia who were the people to carry the torch?
