About the 2010 Olympic Torch Relay

Photograph RBC is a proud presenting partner of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay.

Beginning on October 30 in Victoria BC, the Olympic Flame will begin its 45,000 kilometre journey across Canada, visiting over 1000 communities and places of interest. Twelve thousand torchbearers will carry the Olympic Flame from coast to coast to coast in what is the longest relay held within the borders of any Host Country in history.

The relay will culminate at BC Place on February 12, 2010, with the lighting of the Olympic Cauldron, signaling the start of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
