The Olympic Torch Crosses False Creek: February 12, 2010

After covering 45,000 km, on the 106th and final day of the Olympic Torch relay, the Olympic flame is crossing the waters of False Creek on its final journey to BC Place for the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics! Come out and view the spectacle as it travels from Granville Island to Yaletown’s Quayside Marina. Suggested viewing points are Granville Island, the Granville Street Bridge, the sea wall either side of David Lam Park and the Cambie Street Bridge. Eager to absorb all the Olympic spirit of the first day? Come down to Granville Island and follow the torch as it makes its way through the streets before crossing the water.

Boat traffic (including canoes) will be extremely restricted during this time. Taking out your own boat to view the torch relay may result in being turned away and missing the view you can get from on-land viewpoints.

The approximate time of travel is 12:55-1:25 pm, Friday February 12th.
