Chief Cook and Constable Shantz pose with Nicholas Fung who was introduced to the media as our Vancouver 2010 community torchbearer for North Bay. Nicholas, age 13, is a student at Chippewa Intermediate/Secondary School and is known in the community for his unwavering desire to be a hockey goalie which was the impetus behind Northern Ontario’s only special needs hockey team, the North Bay North Stars. Nicholas will proudly carry the Olympic Torch on its final 300 metres to the stage where he will light the celebration cauldron on December 30, 2009. The community are invited to participate in this once in a lifetime opportunity to view the Olympic Torch.
