McGeoch to carry the flame through Hanover

Elora resident Cynthia McGeoch, will be carrying the Olympic flame in Hanover on Dec 28, 2009

Her pledge was to “Create stronger communities. Get involved with my community through volunteerism. I plan to volunteer with the local Girl Guide troop. I want to be a positive and strong role model for the young girls in our community.”

She is running at 2:18pm on Monday, Dec. 28 in Hanover along 10th Street from, 5th Avenue to 3rd Avenue.

“I’ve grown up watching the Olympics and as a regular Canadian this is a great way to participate and share in the Olympic spirit. I was fortunate enough to have done the torch relay back in 1988 in Newfoundland and thought it would be fun to do it again and in another province. I am proud to be a torchbearer and to have the opportunity to participate in such a great event that unites the whole country.”
