Crowds of people lined the streets of Parksville Sunday morning to welcome Cliff Reynolds, who ran the Olympic torch across the iconic orange bridge and into the city at 9 a.m.
From there, the torch was passed on every 300 meters until it reached the Community Park — where a city-sponsored party was already underway.
Posing for photos and interviews, the relay runners gathered for a greeting by Mayor Ed Mayne, MLA Ron Cantelon and MP James Lunney, before heading out up Highway 4A and on to Coombs and points beyond.
