The Honourable Gary Lunn, Minister of State (Sport), is taking advantage of the last days of the Olympic Torch Relay.
To join the residents of the Resort Municipality of Whistler in celebrating Canada’s pride at hosting the 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
“We are barely a few days away from the opening of the Games, and this is the last lap of the Olympic Torch Relay,” said Minister of State Lunn. “I am pleased to be able to share in the excitement with residents of the Resort Municipality of Whistler, at a time when the entire world is waiting impatiently for the start of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.”
The Torch Relay has travelled across the entire country and is now preparing to spark the enthusiasm of all Canadians in the last kilometres of its long route. When completed, the Torch Relay will have allowed 90 percent of Canadians to celebrate the arrival of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, and to show their pride, their culture, and their spirit of celebration. In good weather and bad, the flame has lit up the entire country. And in exactly seven days, on February 12, 2010, it will officially mark the start of Canada’s Games.
