  • Celebration Communities: There are 50 Celebration Communities. Celebrations will be held in two communities each day – the first at mid-day, and the second in the evening.
  • Route Communities: There are 218 Route Communities/Places of Interest. The flame will pass through these communities along the relay route, but will not stop for a formal celebration.
  • Aboriginal Communities: Of the 218 Route Communities, 50 are Aboriginal Communities. The flame will stop in each Aboriginal Community for a gathering known as the Honorary Elder Fire Keeper Program. This will allow for each Aboriginal Community to host a welcome/blessing ceremony for the torch.
