Hello U of A students,

 

This Wednesday (Jan. 13), you have a virtually once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when the Olympic Torch Relay crosses campus as the relay comes through Edmonton. 

 

The U of A is one of five official venues along the route as the Torch Relay winds its way through the city.  The Torch Relay will come down 87^th Avenue from Hawrelak Park just after 5 PM on Wednesday afternoon and we’re throwing a party to cheer on the torchbearers—including our own President Samarasekera.

 

A number of torchbearers running throughout Edmonton are current and former Olympians/Paralympians, staff and alumni of the U of A.

A street party will take place on 87^th Avenue between 114^th-116^th Street—between the Butterdome and Lister Hall—from 4:30-5:30 PM that day. 

 

Please come out, line the route and join the party to cheer on the torchbearers.  There will be live music, a Golden Bears street hockey game, student group performances, the U of A Cheer Team, GUBA and Patches, and, of course, free stuff! (first-come, first-served on the swag)

 

PLEASE NOTE:  87^th Avenue will be closed to all vehicles between 114^th -116^th Street from 4-6 PM that day. For more info on traffic and parking disruptions, see the notice on the homepage.

 

Sincerely,
