Yesterday evening before the Olympic opening ceremonies in Rio, we had our very own Olympic parade right here in Nova Scotia :-) Everyone in the parade carried a flag from a country of their choice, and we walked a big loop that even included refreshment stations :-)
Getting ready at the starting point…
Brian proudly carrying the flag of Nauru!
A few facts about Nauru:
- It’s a small 21 sq km island in the Pacific Ocean north of Australia.
- The population of Nauru is around 10,000 people.
- Naura first participated in the summer Olympics in 1996.
- This year Naura has a grand total of two athletes in the Olympics – one in Judo and one in weightlifting.
- Sadly, Naura is the most obese country in the world.
Off we go!
Dogs have Olympic spirit too!
Lots of great Olympic spirit!
Go Nauru! And Canada too, of course
