Torch Relay Kenora



The Kenora Catholic District School Board is getting funding to help welcome the Olympic Torch to town early in the new year.

Kenora M.P. Greg Rickford announced just over 61 hundred dollars to host an event on January 4th.

The funding comes from the Ministry of Heritage.

The separate school board plans to hold its own multi-lingual opening ceremony, a multi-school
torch relay and have students participate in a number of sporting events during the day.

The Olympic Torch is scheduled to arrive in Kenora at 6:00 on January 4th.
