Organization The planning of the Torch Relay required significant research and testing, with each kilometer of the relay test-driven three times, and estimates that each torch bearer would travel at a speed of 7 km/h. The relay kept to secondary highways as much as possible and used snowmobiles for 2,750 km between Shanty Bay, Ontario and Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Overall the torch travelled approximately 11,000 km on land and 7,000 km by air or sea. Relay sponsor Petro Canada issued entry forms allowing citizens the chance to become one of 6,214 people to carry the torch for 1 km mi, torch bears were either chosen on merit or selected through random draws.OCO'88 1988 245 Organizers, who initially expected to receive 250,000 entries, were inundated with over 6.6 million forms and called the response a sign that the Olympics had "fired the imagination of Canada".Findling Pelle 1996 313Ferguson Derek https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/thestar/access/472675221.html?FMT=ABS https://archive.today/20130411162338/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/thestar/access/472675221.html?FMT=ABS dead April 11, 2013 6.6 million applications made to tote Calgary Olympic torch Toronto Star 1987-04-15 2013-03-10 A1 Part of the success for the number of applications was the OCO in February 1987 sending approximately 10 million applications out to virtually every Canadian household.OCO'88 1988 241 The relay, called "Share the Flame", also saw the torch travel by boat, snowmobile and dogsled. The Olympic Torch relay involved a convoy of 80 people in 40 support vehicles travelling 125 kilometers per day. Relay The Olympic torch relay began when the torch was lit at Olympia and Greek runner Stelios Bisbas began what was called "the longest torch run in history".https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=8o4iAAAAIBAJ&sjid=66oFAAAAIBAJ&pg=6212,4352591 Olympic torch begins journey to 1988 Winter Games The Item (Sumter, SC) 1987-11-16 2013-03-10 4B The flame arrived in St. John's, Newfoundland on the Atlantic Ocean two days later and over 88 days, traveled west across Canada. It passed through each provincial capital and many major cities, north to the Arctic Ocean at Inuvik, Northwest Territories, then west to the Pacific Ocean at Victoria, British Columbia before returning east to Alberta, and finally Calgary.OCO'88 1988 243 The route was designed in a way that 90 per cent of Canadians lived within a 2-hour drive of the route. The torch covered a distance of 18,000 km mi, the greatest distance for a torch relay in Olympic history until the 2000 Sydney Games, and a sharp contrast to the 1976 Montreal Games when the relay covered only 775 km mi.http://www.olympic.org/Documents/Reference_documents_Factsheets/The_Olympic_Torch_relay.pdf Factsheet: The Olympic torch relay International Olympic Committee 2012 2013-03-10 4–7 thumb|400px|right|Map of torch relay, starting from St. John's in the East.

The torch used a combination of gasoline, kerosene and alcohol to allow a continuous burn during the unpredictable Canadian winter. Approximately 100 torches were manufactured for the Games. The Calgary Tower itself was retrofitted to install a cauldron at its peak and was lit for the duration of the Games, one of several "replica cauldrons" constructed at Olympic venues throughout Calgary and Canmore.Joynt Jerry Tower flame kept secret until end Calgary Herald 2013-02-09 A17 Notable torch bearers Alwyn Morris - Montreal, Quebec - 1984 Olympic kayaking champion.Mennie James Indian protest mars Olympic torch relay The Montreal Gazette December 12, 1987 431571191 Linda Thom - Kingston, Ontario - 1984 Olympic gold medalist in shooting.Crowley Kevin DeFries Kathryn Torchbearers' notebook: an emotional journey for relay squad The Whig - Standard December 19, 1987 3 353390054 Ben Johnson - Toronto, Ontario - Day 37 - Canadian Olympic Sprinter.Moloney Paul Bilodeau Paul Big Ben will carry torch to official Metro ceremony Toronto Star December 22, 1987 A4 435687546 Angella Taylor-Issajenko - Toronto, Ontario - Day 37 - Canadian sprinter and silver medalist at the 1984 Olympic Games.
