The Olympic Experience comes to Windsor!

On Wednesday Dec 23rd the Olympic Torch will make its way through Essex County and culminate in a ceremony/party in the evening in downtown Windsor at festival plaza. For many this will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness the Olympic flame in their hometown as Canada gets ready to host the 2010 Winter Olympics. Some people complain that there is nothing to do in Windsor but once again we are blessed to have events such as this to enjoy with our families and friends. With skating at Charles Clark Square and a torch lighting ceremony down the riverfront it promises to be a memorable way to kick off the Holiday season and experience a piece of the Olympics up close.. Travelling by air, land and water the flame will visit over 1000 communities across Canada on a 106 day journey towards it’s final destination in Vancouver in February. Over 12,000 people will have the honour of carrying the flame on its 45,000km route involving over 200 celebrations throughout Canada.
So bundle up the kids, dress warm and come on down to see a piece of history on Wed night. I’ll see you there.
