Weekend highlights include the torch traveling by a horse-drawn carriage in Cavendish to replicate the bestselling novel “Anne of Green Gables” that helped put the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island on the map. Ice hockey Olympian Cassie Campbell-Pascal was a torchbearer for this portion of the relay as she is a direct descendant of the novel’s author, Lucy Maud Montgomery.
Today the torch relay will advance through 11 towns with Summerside being the first welcome with bobsleigh Olympian Jamie Cruickshank as a torchbearer. The flame will then travel through the towns of Bedeque, Kinkora and Borden-Carleton. The torch then crosses into the province of New Brunswick traveling through the towns of Port Elgin, Cap-Pele, Shediac, Memramcook and Sackville. The flame will take a ride in a Can-Am Spyder Roadster through the town of Port Elgin.
Volleyball Olympian Monica Hitchcock will carry the flame through the town of Dieppe, located on the Petitcodiac River. Dieppe is originally known as Leger’s Corner, receiving its present name in 1952 to honor the Canadian soldiers killed in the 1942 Dieppe Raid in France.
The torch will arrive at its final destination of the day in the town of Moncton where curling Olympian Russ Howard will be one of the final torchbearers of the evening.
Tomorrow the torch willtravel through 15 towns traveling west through New Brunswick.
