Between 12 – 28 February, Vancouver played host to the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. In the weeks preceding the Games, hundreds of members of the Jamat joined thousands of their fellow Canadians to cheer on the Olympic flame as it passed though communities across the country. More than 25 Ismailis had the privilege of running with the flame as Olympic Torch Bearers.
