Approximately 600 torchbearers will carry the Paralympic Flame.

Details about the 2010 Paralympic Torchbearer program will be announced in the fall of 2009.

The 2010 Paralympic Torch Relay, presented by the Government of Canada, is a 10-day celebration highlighting and sharing the stories of inspirational individuals: their achievements, their passions and their courage. Although smaller in scope than the 2010 Olympic Torch Relay, the Paralympic Torch Relay will be an equally inspirational, clearly distinct event with its own look and identity.
