Just after 8:10am, Bowser released
a
flock of white doves
as the Olympic Torch passed through the community
in front of the
Bowser Legion.
The first dove was released by John Lyotier,
in memory of his wife
Barb.
Barb Lyotier was instrumental in getting the
torch celebrations on
track
in our community. She will be greatly missed.
Six teenagers from the area then released
6 doves, symbolizing the Olympic motto -
"Citius, Altius, Fortius" (faster, higher, stronger)
and our wishes for the future -
" Peace, Unity and Love".
These were followed by a flock of 14 doves
representing the
community.
The combined flock created a
"21 Dove Salute"
from the flag
pole at the Bowser Legion
to the spirit of the 2010 Olympics.
