Those wishing to catch a glimpse of the flame as it passes through town can start as early as 6:12 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 9, when a yet-to-be-announced torch runner sets off on the first 300-metre leg on 152 Street, just south of Highway 99.
From there, the torch will head south on 152 Street, and is expected to pass Semiahmoo Shopping Centre at 6:36.
Police say intersections will be blocked along the way to clear the relay’s passage.
From the shopping centre, the relay will cross 16 Avenue into White Rock, travelling down Johnston Road before turning east on Roper Avenue. The route then turns south down Fir Street, and then east again on Buena Vista Avenue.
After a quick sidestep down Centre Street and Pacific Avenue, the torch moves past Five Corners back onto Buena Vista, before turning left at Oxford Street and heading for Marine Drive.
The relay then travels east down Marine Drive, reaching Semiahmoo Park at approximately 7:22.
The torch is to then be transported to Peace Arch Park for a celebration with Canadian and U.S. dignitaries at 7:30.
Feb. 12 opening ceremonies will be celebrated locally at White Rock Community Centre. |
