Olympic Torch to pass though Timmins New Years Day

A youth Drum Group consisting of 16 to 20 year olds, White Stone Cree Singers, have been chosen by the City of Timmins Olympic Committee to open its Olympic Torch ceremonies. Singing sensation Shania Twain, who is from the City with a Heart of Gold, is Timmins' official Torch Carrier. It is right after she brings the torch into the city for it's part in the Olympic Torch ceremonies that the White Stone Cree Singers will open the ceremony. The 2010 Winter Olympics are taking place in Vancouver beginning this February.
