I live in Squamish and so I was was very thankful to hear that the Paralympic torch relay was going to come through town on Sunday, March 7th.
The flame was lit by members of the Squamish Nation and then brought by
canoe across the water to the downtown celebration. The Paralympic
torch was ignited and then brought through the streets by individuals
each having a personal story of overcoming obstacles and finding
inspiration. An incredibly memorable day for Squamish!
