Quesnel, B.C. - The Olympic torch and it's appearance in Quesnel will be the focus of a meeting in that community Wednesday.

The torch will be in Quesnel January 29th, 2010 after beginning its journey in Vancouver October 30th of this year.

I wonder if we are allowed to charge a tax on it. I am sure we can scam something with the carbon issue.

It would make more sense for the mayor and council to discuss, a new route for logging trucks and semi's carrying dangerous goods to take.
Traffic in and through Quesnel is dangerous, and it seems to be worse in the past month.
A torch is the last thing they should be thinking about !

Hopefully the torch will go up Lewis Drive.
That would bring some light to that drug infested area.
