On Saturday, Dec 19th, Mark is very excited to be part of the official Olympic Torch relay as he carries the torch along Lakeshore Rd on the eastern edge of Oakville. To follow the torch live through streaming video online, check out:

Or if you want to be there in person, bring some bells, flags, banners, loud cheering voices…and lots of Olympic spirit! We’re going to have a blast as we all share an experience of a lifetime.
Location: Lakeshore Rd, beginning at Ennisclaire Drive and ending at Cairncroft Road.
They have estimated the hand-off to Mark to occur at 3pm, but of course it could be earlier or later depending on how the earlier segments go.
Look for Mark’s torchbearer number on a bright orange route marker that will be placed at the start of his relay segment.
Torchbearer # OTR051-156
Hope to see you there!

Oh Hooray Hooray today is the day. It was like Christmas morning around here this morning! We are all so excited to cheer on Mark and Canada as a special moment in history happens before our eyes! All the best Mark, we can't wait to see you!

What an awesome day! Mark we were so proud and honoured to witness you run with the torch. Thanks for all the pictures and family time afterwards. It is a day that Meredith and myself will NEVER forget and I believe is engrained in our children's minds forever! What an amazing opportunity. Thank you for sharing it with us! xoxo

So bummed.... the live feed went out right during the time when Mark was running. We were having issues with reception at my mom's cottage anyway, but it totally cut off just before three. Later in the day we checked back and there was an apology saying they had technical difficulties so it wasn't just our location. We looked at Catherine's pictures though! COngratulations, it looks like it was a blast! We're very proud of you.

I was following the twitter feed while we were waiting for Mark...and then the feed stopped so I knew something was up. And then of course, the apology came through re: live video feed.
We did have a blast...what a very cool experience on so many levels. We missed you, but are so happy that you were enjoying the weekend with family. I'll try to post some photos on the blog later today.
