Vancouver Mayor Sam Sullivan first made headlines when receiving the Olympic flag in Turin in 2006 as he wheeled and waved the banner using a specially made mount attached to his motorized wheel chair. The mayor will get a free wheelin' opportunity again next month, this time on the other side of the Pacific.
The mayor, who was injured in a skiing accident at 19 years of age, is one of 10 Canadians that will be a part of a torch relay in China for the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games.
The mayor will not be the sitting Vancouver mayor in during the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver & Whistler.
