Canada’s Governor General was named honorary patron of the 2010 Olympic Truce yesterday.
The truce, which aims to inspire peace through sport, is based on the ancient Greek tradition that was revitalized in the early ’90s.
Gov. Gen. Michaëlle Jean, who took part in a youth forum on the Olympic Truce at the Ismaili Centre in Burnaby, asked the crowd of about 100 high school and university students to “make a firm commitment to building peace.”
