The games had a very long torch relay, themed as "Share the Flame". The Olympic Flame travelled an 18000 km route through all parts of Canada. The relay had its own logo, a torch and flame in five colours, with the white field in negative drawing showing the Canadian maple leaf, the torch accompanied by the games logo.

At https://www.ebay.com/itm/122787474147 a flag is offered for sale showing the Share the Flame logo, in white on teal. According to the stamp, the flag is 46x36 inches. No purpose is mentioned.
