Going on right now (it’s 8:09pm PST) is the Paralympic Torch Relay. In fact, it’s passing right beneath my window! And it will be back in about half an hour! This torch run is somewhat different than the Olympic relay, but it is just as moving and heartwarming, if not more so. This flame was not kindled by rays of sunshine from far away Greece; this flame has been brought forth anew every morning of the relay. This morning it was re-lit by members of the Musquem First Nation for the last time. Overnight the flame will move throughout the heart of downtown Vancouver on a community relay that circuits Robson St, Granville St, Smithe/Haro St and Bute St. The relay will continue until 2pm tomorrow, at which time it will move to BC Place Stadium for the opening ceremonies. If you are able to, do yourself a favour and stop and see (and even follow for a bit) the torch run.
