KICKING HORSE PASS, on the B.C.-Alta border — At exactly 4:27 p.m. Alberta time, with about 200 loudly cheering people huddled on the side of the highway, the Olympic torch was passed by former Alberta premier Peter Lougheed to B.C. Lions coach Wally Buono.
With a spectacular backdrop of mountains that would be the envy of any Hollywood producer, the two former football players touched their torches together and Lougheed passed the flame on.
"I shouldn't be puffing like this, should I?" said the smiling 81-year-old Lougheed.
