I assume you're talking about the person to actually light the Olympic flame (the last person in the relay); great question, btw.

It should be someone from Canadian sport, ideally with an Olympic angle.

Is that person Betty Fox? Probably not, but Vanoc needs to have her a part of the Opening Ceremony. Featured prominently.

My person to light the Olympic Flame is Wayne Gretzky.

He played for the 1998 Olympic Team, and was the GM for the 2002 Olympic Team that won a Gold Medal (I believe he was also GM for the 2006 Olympic Team).

He is an icon of Canadian Sport. I know he's not from Vancouver, but his sporting and Olympic pedigree line up.
