Celebrate the Olympic Torch Relay in your own way!

In just a few months, Canada will welcome the world’s finest athletes as part of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games. As a precursor to the Games, the Olympic Torch Relay will make its way across Canada, travelling from coast-to-coast-to-coast joining together all Canadians in celebration.

 

The Government of Canada has a special invitation for not-for-profit organizations and schools: you can receive a grant of up to $15,000 to celebrate the Olympic Torch Relay in your own way!  

 

Your proposed project(s) must:

        Commemorate the passage of the Olympic Flame;  

        Target youth participation; and  

        Demonstrate the energy of Canadian youth, their ingenuity and creativity.  

 

There are so many possibilities you can be creative!  Most importantly, ensure your project is fun and makes you and others feel part of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games experience. After all, these are our Games and this is our time to shine.
