Be a part of the Queen's Baton visit to Canada!

On Wednesday, April 14th and Thursday, April 15th, you are invited to celebrate the XIX Commonwealth Games taking place in Delhi this October.

This is your opportunity to become a part of history as Canada hosts the Queen’s Baton Relay 2010 Delhi at Metro Hall Square in Toronto on April 14th and on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on April 15th.

The Baton’s journey symbolizes the unity and shared ideals of the Commonwealth of Nations. It enables communities, beyond the host city, Delhi, to share in the Games celebrations. The Queen’s Baton Relay 2010 commenced at Buckingham Palace, London, on October 29, 2009. The baton is currently traveling through all 71 Commonwealth nations and will conclude with a 100-day tour of India, the host nation.

This historic journey will cover a distance of more than 190,000 kilometres in 340 days making the Queen’s Baton Relay 2010 Delhi one of the longest relays in the history of the Commonwealth Games!
