Olympic Torch Relay

What an honour to be hired by The Hudson's Bay Company to photograph the Olympic Torch Relay while it made it's way through Kelowna. It was a cold morning but 110% worth the extra layers of clothing it took to stay warm at the Olympic Torch Relay Celebration that took place outside of Zellers Tuesday morning.

Festivities included a pancake breakfast, athlete autograph signing with Canadian gold medalist Catherine Pendrel (cycling) and bronze medalist Mike Lewis (rowing) from 2008 Beijing Olympics, along with the passing of the flame from torchbearer to torchbearer.

What a great collection of photos! We enjoyed the Olympic excitement last week when the torch relay came through Kamloops and it was a very cool experience.
