There will be at least two other cauldrons, but they don't have to be lit in the traditional way. They will most likely be lit electronically. If you watch the "Journey of Vancouver" video, towards the end of the video you see Calgary Tower lit up with the Olympic Flame. That's what Calgary '88 did...the main flame was at McMahon Stadium under the giant teepee while another cauldron was lit atop Calgary Tower in Downtown.

We already know the locations of two other caldrons: Whistler Celebration Plaza and Jack Poole Plaza. I'm personally banking on a cauldron in the middle of False Creek.
