As part of the Canada Games Council’s (CGC) alumni engagement initiatives, the CGC is working to engage all past Canada Games Host Communities in the celebration of the upcoming Canada Games. The official Canada Games flag, to be flown at the Opening Ceremonies in Halifax on February 11, 2011, will be with each past Canada Games Host Community for a total of three days before being sent to the next community, similar to Halifax’s Provincial Torch Relay. “This is an excellent opportunity to unite all Canadians in the celebration that is the Canada Games,” says Tom Quinn, Chairman of the Canada Games Council. “Past hosts will be able to show their involvement and pride with the Canada Games and show off the legacy the Games has left in their community while spreading the excitement for the 2011 Games.” A map of Canada will be created on the CGC’s website so the public can view the location of the flag with photos, stories, quotes and videos provided by each community of their time with the flag.
