Congrats to our staff in the Olympic torch relay so far!
Just a note to say congratulations to Annie and Sergio from CMBC, who have carried the Olympic flame in the torch relay so far!
Sergio, a 25-year depot coordinator at Port Coquitlam Transit Centre, carried the Olympic flame on the streets of Aldergrove, in front of thousands of people. He won his spot through a TransLink internal contest. Many of the folks from CMBC came out to cheer him on!
And Annie, a six-year Community Shuttle operator, held the torch in front of more than 20,000 people at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford. She entered a Royal Bank contest to win her spot in the relay. “It was an uplifting experience for all of us, seeing how involved everyone was. I’ll be dreaming about it for weeks,” said Annie.
Stay tuned: we have one more torchbearer in the relay this week!
One more torchbearer in the relay this week? Is the mystery future torchbearer none other than our intrepid blog moderator??
HA. Move over, Wayne Gretzky!
I woke up early, because I’ve noticed that the torch flame was going to pass right in front of my house. So, I wasted no time and stood in line with the crowd waiting for the torch. After a brief wait, there it was! the Olympic flame! The whole neighborhood including I cheered waving our Canadian flags as the torch passed through. As the torch left, I felt a little sad because it went by so quickly, but proud to have captured the moment :). It was a moving experience!
uh oh….JHEN! dont leak out the secret! keep the plug in the hole! dont open it yet and release the olympic secret juice!!!!!!!!!!! lol
I heard the torch was on the Canada Line between Aberdeen and Lansdowne station. Does anyone have pictures? Was the torch runner “Skytrain surfing” above the cars?
Ooh, was it really? Photos!!

OK, that’s it! No more beans spilling! Cause I’m afraid one of those VANOC people will knock on my door if I let the secret out!! kkkkkkkkkkkkk!!
