February 8th is the big day when the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay runs through Maple Ridge real estate. Join the Community Celebration as the Olympic Flame passes through Maple Ridge in the morning of Monday, February 8. Celebrations will take place at Memorial Peace Park beginning at 6:15 am and runs until 8:00 am. An official ceremony, entertainment, Spirit of Wood unveiling, and free continental breakfast will be provided followed by "try-it" sport demonstrations. Due to rolling road closures and congestion around the celebration site the community is encouraged to walk or cycle to the event. Commuters should allow additional travel time to reach their destination. Please note that parking will be restricted in the downtown area.
The posted approximate start time is for the torch to arrive at Telosky Hill (Thomas Haney Secondary) at 7:06 am, winding through town until 8:13 am when it enters Pitt Meadows.
The torch is scheduled to leave Mission at 6:44am from about Wren and Lougheed, it would not be humanly possible to run it from there to Telosky in 20 minutes so it seems there will not be opportunities along the route through Ruskin, Whonnock or Albion to see much more then a convoy drive by until the arrival in the downtown core.

Situated on the shores of the mighty Fraser River and nestled against the Coast Mountains, Maple Ridge is a mecca of adventure for the outdoor enthusiast. Located 45 kilometers east of Vancouver, it is a progressive community well-known for its beautiful countryside and spectacular scenery. It is a community of urban sophistication that retains a sense of rural charm.
Yup, Olympic fever is everywhere especially downtown! I'm very excited for the start of the games!
