VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – The Olympic Cauldron will soon be available for weddings and Bar Mitzvahs.
The B.C. Pavilion Corporation is mulling over a plan to let corporations light the flame for a fee. Reliving that 2010 magic won’t come cheap though.
Warren Buckley with PAVCo tells the Province newspaper it would cost at least $10,000 bucks to fire up the cauldron, not including the price of gas.
The flame will also be lit during special occassions, beginning with this year’s Canada Day celebrations.
