On January 13, 2010, Edmonton welcomed the Olympic Flame during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay. The commemorative painting, created by Artist Fritz Branschat while on stage in Churchill Square, captured the spirit of the event in a dramatic explosion of paint and energy. It was completed in 14 minutes. The painting was presented to the City of Edmonton by RBC, one of the official sponsors of the Olympic Torch Relay.
