During its final day, The Paralympic Torch Relay travels from
Robson Square celebrations in downtown Vancouver to BC Place for the
Opening Ceremony! Torch Reporter Chris Wheeler follows the flame around
Vancouver, stops in for a coffee at Cafe Artigiano and visits the
Vancouver Art Gallery before viewing some sledge hockey at Robson
Square. He then follows the flame as it journeys on a Sea King
helicopter, two naval ships and a Zodiac boat to the Opening Ceremony!
The
10-day inspirational journey of the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Torch
Relay began on March 3, 2010 in Ottawa and visited several Canadian
Celebration Sites along its route to Vancouver, BC.

I went down to
Vancouver's Plaza of Nations for the Ultimate Saturday of the 2009
World Police and Fire Games. There I watched the Dragon Boat races and
the Ultimate Firefighter competition and asked a few of the competitors
what they thought of Vancouver. What an amazing event!
