Olympic Torch on the Sunshine Coast

The Olympic Torch arrives on the Sunshine Coast Thursday and will be in Pender Harbour at 9:03 am for the ceremony!

A ‘Logger’s Breakfast” runs from 8 am to 11 am and makes my mouth water just thinking about it. It will be held at the Community Hall – and from what I gathered it will be FREE. There was no mention of price on the poster I saw today.

The poster was short on information and no one I asked knew much about the event, but I’m sure it’s available online. This Act Now BC doesn’t tell much more, other than the Torch Bearer will be welcomed on the highway in front of the school. I have to assume this means Pender Harbour Secondary, not Madeira Park Elementary, since the ‘highway’ is mentioned. Somehow, I believe the actual ceremony will take place in Madeira Park.

I certainly saw signs something was coming to our area – an ‘Olympic’ painted car was parked at the Skookumchuck Rapids trail this morning, longboarders were ‘practicing’ and being towed back up the hill to the Pender Harbour Hotel by a guy on a motor scooter. LOL – not the safest way of travel, but probably not much more dangerous than going down the hill!

I think I’ll get there early to take part in the breakfast – and wing it!
