Bella Bella - Port Hardy (Day 96)

We ferried our way last night and arrived in Bella Bella this morning. Only a small crew went on into the town so I took the opportunity to go for a nice run. We then departed for Port Hardy where I will be driving.

We were greeted by rain which I haven't seen since I rejoined the relay. A great crowd was waiting for us and we had a flame blessing ceremony at Gwa'Sala-Nakwaxda First Nation. One of our First Nation flame attendant got to run with the flame!


The flame is carried on a traditional First Nations canoe in Port Hardy

Tomorrow we will travel from Port Hardy to Powell River. Only 7 days until the flame arrives in New Westminster, hope you are excited!

Carpe Diem
