Country sensation and Canadian cutie Shania Twain will be running the Olympic torch through her hometown of Timmins, Ontario, tonight as the torch continues its journey to Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, which kick off next month.

Twain asked fans on her Web site to follow her run of the torch live online (click here to see it), and wrote back in October that it was an “immense honour” to have been asked to participate.

“It is certain to be one of the most memorable experiences of my life,” she wrote. “I am proud to have been presented this unique opportunity and privilege and look forward to sharing the pride with my hometown and fellow Canadians as we are all proud of our country’s chance to host the upcoming winter games.”

The Canadian Press reports that despite protests that took place when the torch went through southern Ontario last month, Olympic officials say there are no signs of any demonstrations planned for Timmins on Friday and they don’t plan on boosting security when Twain carries the flame.

  1. This is certainly my initial stop by and I really like what I’m seeing. Your weblog is so much fun to look over, quite compelling as well as informative. I’ll undoubtedly recommend it to my friends. Nevertheless, I did have some problem with the commenting. It kept giving me an problem whenever I clicked on publish comment. I hope, that can be fixed. Many thanks
