The 2010 Torch Relays will touch the soul of the nation and inspire the world by delivering extraordinary events that truly celebrate the possible. VANOC's vision is embedded in the very essence of the Torch Relays, and the tremendous opportunity they present to connect and inspire people in Canada and around the world.

The 2010 Olympic Torch Relay

The 2010 Olympic Torch Relay, proudly presented by Coca-Cola and RBC, will connect Canadians in every province and territory, throughout a 45,000-kilometre journey, over approximately 100 days, and involving 12,000 torchbearers. The journey of the flame will culminate at BC Place on February 12, 2010 with the lighting of the Olympic Cauldron, signalling the start of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

The 2010 Olympic Torch will wind its way across Canada, burning with purpose and intensity as it lights the way to Vancouver. Like a path of northern lights stretching from horizon to horizon, the relay will create lasting memories for the many who will feel the glow of the Olympic Flame and its power to inspire.
