Olympic torch to pass through Chetwynd in 2010 relay
The 2010 Olympic flame will travel across Canada including Chetwynd on January 31 2010 day 94 of a 106 day journey covering 45000 kilometres. The event will involve 12000 torch bearers and stop at 1000 communities from Victoria to Newfoundland with 26 000 kilometres on foot and 18000 by air.
