Welcome the Olympic flame to New Brunswick!



Vancouver, British Columbia, on Canada’s Pacific coast, will host the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, February 12-28, 2010. Following Olympic tradition, a torch relay began on October 30, 2009, in Victoria, British Columbia, and reached New Brunswick on Day 26, and the Miramichi area on Day 29.

"The Olympic Flame arrived at the celebration site at 11:20am and departed at 12:20pm in Miramichi.  The celebration entertainment started at 10am with the torch arriving at 11:20am at the James M. Hill Memorial High School.  Entertainment on the square in Newcastle was provided for those who could not make it to James M. Hill Memorial High School."

What an exciting time to be in the Miramichi River Valley! Follow the torch throughout the rest of its journey through Canada.
