OTTAWA — The streets of Ottawa Valley communities along the Olympic torch route were jammed from end to end with spectators Sunday, as people of all ages came to be part of the party.
Renfrew, Ont.’s Raglan Street looked like a summer fair for all the activity, with thousands or residents participating in a ball hockey tournament, crafts, horse-and-wagon rides, Olympic ring-toss games, free hotdogs, poster contests, and a visit from Santa and some of his elves.
"It’s a party to get ready for the Olympics," said Mayor Sandi Heins.
