Cold Day for Torch Relay Through NWO

The Olympic torch relay has a long and cold day ahead in northwestern Ontario.
The day starts with a visit to Fort William First Nation and the Bombardier plant in Thunder Bay before heading on to Kakabeka Falls.

The relay then heads to Upsala, Ignace, Dryden, Vermilion Bay and ends the day in Kenora.

This afternoon, Fort Frances campus manager Anne Renaud will carry the torch for a short distance through Vermilion Bay.

Thousands lined the streets in Thunder Bay yesterday and many sang ``O Canada'' when the torch arrived at the Terry Fox Lookout.
