He will carry the torch along Santa Maria Boulevard to the Milton Sports Centre, 605 Santa Maria Blvd. The free celebration at the centre begins at 11:30 a.m. and will feature live cultural performances by Kenn Lewis and Island Entertainment as well as the White Pine Dancers. There will be family-friendly games and other activities prior to the flame's arrival. There will be free giveaways, food samples, photo opportunities and vendor booths. Longtime Milton resident Donna Coulter will carry the flame down Main Street East where it will be handed to Derek McGowan, a Milton-based musician. McGowan will bear the flame between Charles Street and Hugh Lane, passing local pubs, eateries and shops along the way. The flame will be passed several more times before it reaches its third stop at the CIBC branch in the Derry Heights Plaza (Derry Road and Bronte Street South). After a brief break, the flame will travel on two wheels once again as Canadian track cycling team member Joseph Veloce bikes the final stretch of the relay, which ends at the Cisco Milton Pan Am/Parapan Am Velodrome. The stop at the velodrome will be open to media only. Local roads will be open during the relay so residents are being asked to cheer from the sidewalk.
