The bag will include a number of small heat packs for hands and feet, and a seat cushion where they can be zipped inside.

Organizers say the temperature for the outdoor event will range between -2 and -5C, but with the wind, it could feel more like -10.

The bag also includes a blanket and a toque, along with a miniature replica of the Olympic torch and a small drum.

Everyone will also be given a white poncho, so that colours and images can be projected on the crowd during the ceremony.
