and many more!
Plus the Olympic Torch is coming to Holland Park February 8th at 5:30pm. There will be a lighting of a ceremonial cauldron, entertainment and fireworks.
Parking is very limited around Holland Park and the organizers are encouraging alternate modes of travel. For those just trying to get around town please note that street closures are already in effect on 100th Ave and to expect heavy traffic in and around the City Centre area throughout the Games.
