Before I knew it The Opening Ceremonies where here! As we waited for the doors to open we got to see Rick Kelly live broadcasting on the River, and Kyle Sampson live broadcasting on the Drive. They where giving away some awesome prizes. I was handing out fruit snacks to the ever growing line up of excited pg’ers and tourists who all couldn’t believe how we finally made it to the games. Then when the doors opened up it was a mad dash as everyone wanted to be in their seats for 6:30! Then at 7pm they started. First it was an explanation of the Illuminate the North App, which one can download for free on any smart phone. Then after a speech, then the athletes arrived! It was crazy how many people there where in CN Centre, as the athletes entered the building you could see how much care went into their clothes. Team Toba glowed in the dark, Team Alberta had light up hats, which I kinda want. So many colours but I am the only Promo Yellow aside from Joel and Kharah anyways.Then Bright City Heights opened the show! After some excellent speeches made by Christie Clark, Mayor Lynn Hall, and so many more. It was an honour to among so many athletes and dignitaries. Then after all the dancing, and singing (those dancers must have been very tired) and all the performances , so many talented people all under one roof
