I am lucky enough to have the great honour to be involved with the Meaford/Thornury Torch Run. My name is Alison Hird from Caledon. We met at Meaford Hall and quickly learned that our team; were from all areas. Burlington, to Barrie, to Harrison and Toronto. The adventure was thrilling. The Mayor of Meaford welcomed us before set set off for our individual runs, and wonderful personal experience of carrying the torch. We exchanged emails on the bus, onto Jason’s phone, but unfortunately this information is now not available. May I reach out through your network to ask all those on our bus – Jenn, Bill, Jack, plus plus to contact me at admin@whatson.ca – so we can be in touch again to exchange pictures.
