Excitement for the lead-up to the Acadian Games will hit a fever pitch today. For the second time in less than a year, Saint John is taking part in a torch relay. The cauldron carrying the flame for the Acadian Games will be escorted into the city this morning by 300 students from Sameul De Champlain and friends and because of the wet weather, the event has been moved inside to Market Square starting at ten o'clock.
The Acadian Games get started on June 30th and run until July 4th with close to 1200 athletes taking part and 1000 volunteers.
