Leading up to the official start of
the 2010 Olympics Winter Games in Vancouver, the ceremonial Olympic
Torch was carried for 106 days, across 45,000 km and through 1,037
Canadian communities, making it the longest Olympic Torch Relay
within a single country in history. NLMA President Dr. Brendan Lewis
had the honor of being the 13th torchbearer of the 12,000 Canadians
selected to participate in the historic Olympic Torch Relay. Dr.
Lewis carried the flame through Springdale on November 15, 2009
during Day 16 of the relay. The torch, which began its
cross-Canadian round trip in Victoria, B.C., concluded its journey
in Vancouver on February 12 to mark the opening of the games.
