I usually discuss Real Estate topics in my blog but, in this, my last post of 2009, I would like to mention one of the most exciting things I have ever done. On Tuesday December 15th 2009, I was honoured to have carried the Olympic Torch through part of downtown Trenton.With 18 other runners, I started at CFB Trenton and ran my 300 metre leg not far from my Royal LePage office. The streets were lined with children chanting "Go Canada Go", as well as other onlookers of all ages who were beaming and wildly waving Canada flags. It was estimated that the crowd totalled 3,000 people; amazing for a town with a population of 16,000.
The size of the crowd, the excitement, and the children who wanted their pictures taken with a 'torch bearer' was truly thrilling and an event I will never forget. Go Canada Go!
