TORONTO 2015
PAN AM/PARAPAN AM GAMES
SPECTATOR GUIDE
ABOUT THE COVER ART
“The compilation of all the images creates a stimulating
juxtaposition — where at the moment of viewing, our
differences and commonality as human beings are
simultaneously celebrated. See yourself.” — Robert Young
For 26 days during the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games, Toronto and the Greater
Golden Horseshoe region will host world-class athletes from 41 countries and territories of the
Americas. The cover art for this guide, created by Canadian-born artisan Robert Young as a
commissioned exhibit for PANAMANIA, presented by CIBC, represents the diversity of the athletes,
countries and territories participating in the Games, woven into a dynamic and striking mosaic
of faces. No matter which face you look at, or which country you’re rooting for, what looks back at
you is not just a person representing a nation or territory with a unique cultural identity, but also a
celebration of the diverse Canadian identity we all share.
YOUNG World Faces
of PAN AM
Each image for YOUNG World Faces of
PAN AM is created with a heavy emphasis on
highlighting the colours of each flag. The colour
theory and placement is perfectly connected
with the makeup, followed by a dramatic lighting
style and unique arrangement that allows the
face to hover majestically within the composition.
The bonus element in this special commissioned
collection is that all of the 41 women
photographed not only have roots in each of the
41 participating countries and territories of the
Games, they are also all residents of Toronto.
Experience the Exhibition
Commerce Court West (199 Bay Street,
Toronto) will host the world premiere of Robert
Young’s striking exhibition for free as part of
PANAMANIA, presented by CIBC, the 35day arts and cultural festival. As beautiful as
these portraits are to experience on-screen,
the distinction is even more striking in person,
and we urge you to visit and take a look. The
exhibition can be experienced throughout the
Pan Am/Parapan Am Games — from July 10
to August 15.

Robert Young’s artistry
is encapsulated by
his personal mantra:
Living passionately.
Guided spiritually.
Focused definitively.
His mission to “capture
life’s passion” has
taken him from his
native Canada to
stunning locations all
across the world.
Born in 1972, Young
came to prominence as
a writer and marketer in the early 1990s after
the launch of a curated theatrical exhibition of
poetry entitled All Truths Spoken are Poetry in
Motion. Over the last two decades, Young has
transformed himself into an award-winning
voice-over actor, a trailblazer in short-form nonlinear film editing, a director of an international
documentary film, a commercial and video;
and a creator and
curator of fine art
photography.

Welcome to the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am Games!
Arrive early
Prepare for the security screening
Plan your trip so that you’re at the venue well
before the scheduled start of the event. Gates
generally open one to two hours before the start
of competition. Check your venue’s page for
specific gates times.
Avoid taking large bags to venues. If you are
unsure of what you can and cannot bring with
you, check the Conditions of Entry on page 19.
Travelling to venues
For many of the Games venues, public transit is
the recommended way to go. If you’re headed to
a venue without transit options, there are driving
and parking options to help you get there.
Dress appropriately
Dress for hot and dry weather and, as many
venues are outdoors and can have uneven terrain,
wear appropriate footwear.
Have your tickets ready
Be sure to have your tickets with you as you must
have a valid ticket to enter a venue. Treat your
tickets like cash; lost or stolen tickets will not be
replaced or refunded.
Ticket payment options
Visa, MasterCard, debit card, Ticketmaster gift
card and cash are the only methods of payment
accepted at TORONTO 2015 box offices.
Accessibility
All venues have been reviewed for accessibility.
If you have a specific need, see the nearest staff
member for assistance.
Be informed
At the venue, look for wayfinding signage and
listen to announcements — these provide you with
the information you need to make the most of
your experience. If you still require assistance, visit
the information booth at the venue.

WHAT ARE THE
PAN AM/PARAPAN AM GAMES?
The Pan Am/Parapan Am Games are not only
one of the largest international multi-sport
events in the world, they are also a platform for
inspiring athletic performances and a stage for
showcasing the diverse cultures of the Americas.
Held every four years since the inaugural Games
in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1951, the Pan Am
Games bring together the 41-member National
Olympic Committees of the Pan American
Sports Organization (PASO) to compete in
Olympic and Pan Am-specific sports. Always
held the year before the Olympic Summer
Games, the Pan Am Games provide worldclass competitions and act as a springboard for
many athletes on their road to Olympic glory.
The dream of a Parapan American Games
came to fruition in November 1999 in Mexico
City when the inaugural edition was held with
1,000 athletes with a disability from 18 countries
competing in four sports. Since 2007, the Host
Cities of the Pan Am Games have also hosted
the Parapan Am Games.
Governed by the Americas Paralympic Committee,
the TORONTO 2015 Parapan Am Games are
the fifth edition of the Games and feature 1,600
athletes participating from 28 nations.
About the TORONTO 2015
Pan Am/Parapan Am Games
The TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am
Games are the largest international multi-sport
Games Canada has ever hosted, with more
athletes, sports and venues than the Vancouver
2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
This is also the first international multi-sport
event ever held in the Greater Golden Horseshoe
— Canada’s most populous region — since the
Toronto 1976 Olympiad (Paralympic Games)
and, before that, the inaugural British Empire
Games (later the Commonwealth Games) in
Hamilton in 1930.
Canada has hosted the Pan Am Games twice
before — in 1967 and 1999 — both times in
Winnipeg, Manitoba.
This summer, more than 7,600 athletes from
41 countries go for gold in 51 sports at 30+
competition venues radiating out across a
5,300 square-kilometre footprint, stretching
from Minden Hills to St. Catharines to Oshawa.
The TORONTO 2015 sport program includes
the Pan Am debuts of golf, women’s rugby
sevens, canoe/kayak – slalom, women’s
baseball and the return of men’s softball, and
the Parapan Am Games debut of wheelchair
rugby, women competing in sitting volleyball
and the return of football 7-a-side.
The TORONTO 2015 Games are funded by
the Government of Canada, the Province of
Ontario, as well as Lead Partner CIBC and
other partners and sponsors.

GAMES LEGACY
Long after the athletes return home and the echoes of the Closing Ceremonies have faded, the
impact of the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games will remain. Building a community
legacy across the Greater Golden Horseshoe region and beyond has always been the key mission
of the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games Organizing Committee (TO2015).
Creating the foundation for this legacy began with bricks and mortar — the 10 brand-new and 15
upgraded sport facilities built for three weeks of competition in the summer of 2015 and for the
decades of community use to follow. Not only will many of these facilities be training and competition
venues for high-performance Canadian athletes, they will also be places that bring communities
together for recreational, social and cultural activities for people of all ages and abilities.
TO2015 has worked to create a powerful economic legacy by investing strategically in Ontario now
and creating opportunities and alliances for the future through Games-related activities such as
construction and tourism, as well as the international partnerships and exposure that come with
hosting one of the world’s great sporting events.
Additionally, the Games will leave a legacy built around diversity and inclusion. As the first Pan
Am/Parapan Am Games with a diversity policy, TO2015 delivered on its commitment to reflect the
diverse character of the Host Region and the athletes and officials from 41 countries and territories
of the Americas, by ensuring that Games staff, volunteers, partner companies and the cultural
program created opportunities for everyone living and working in one of the world’s most culturally
diverse regions.
A key component of the TORONTO 2015 bid was the commitment to elevate the Paralympic
Movement within the Americas to promote inclusion and increase participation in parasport. TO2015
created the TO2015 Parapan American Development Program, the first program of its kind for an
Organizing Committee. The program included capacity-building workshops, a Sport Equipment Fund
and the training of international classifiers, recognizing that increasing the number of administrators,
coaches and classifiers, as well as augmenting access to specialized sport equipment, will have a
direct impact on the growth of the Paralympic Movement within the Americas.
Finally, every Games venue and transportation service is designed to enhance accessibility and
meet or even exceed the service expectations of every Games spectator, visitor and participant.
WELCOME TO THE
TORONTO 2015 PAN AM
AND PARAPAN AM GAMES
A Message from the
Chief Executive Officer
Welcome to the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/
Parapan Am Games. We’ve been preparing for
this moment for years. The athletes have been
training for months, the venues are ready and
the Host Municipalities are excited. You, the
spectators, will now bring all of this preparation
to life. Your cheers, smiles and warmth will make
it all worthwhile.
Thank you for buying tickets, supporting the Games
and celebrating the athletes. We simply could not
do it without you. Not only will Team Canada have a
boisterous and energetic crowd cheering them on, but the
wonderful thing about the diversity of our region is that so will
the other athletes. Our region is home to communities of people who trace their roots to
the countries of the Americas and the Caribbean, and they will cheer on the athletes who
share their heritage.
Of course, the Games are about more than sport. They are about building relationships and
understanding, both within our own communities and with the diverse peoples of the Americas
and the Caribbean. So, when you are not taking in the exciting competitions, I hope you enjoy
the engaging culture and entertainment we’ve programmed. The atmosphere of the Games
will be electric — and you, the people who’ve embraced this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity —
are the ones who bring so much of that energy.
As you enjoy all the Games have to offer, remember this — you’re helping to build something
even larger than a sporting event. The Games will leave a lasting legacy that you’ve helped
to create. I encourage you to come back to the venues where you cheered the athletes, and
take part in sport and fitness yourselves and build connections with your community. Build on
what you’ve learned about the cultures of the Americas by helping to expand partnerships
throughout the region.
Most of all, have a lot of fun these next few weeks. Make a lot of noise. Enjoy the party.
We’re counting on you to make these a Games to remember — and I know we’ll all make
the most of this historic event.
Have a great Games.
Sincerely,
Saäd Rafi
Chief Executive Officer, TO2015

A Message from the
Minister of Sport
In 2015, the Year of Sport
in Canada—the focus of
the Americas is turning to
our country’s largest city
for the TORONTO 2015 Pan
Am/Parapan Am Games.
It is an honour for Canada to
welcome competitors from the 41member countries and territories of the Pan

an opportunity for these athletes to realize their
dreams and make their mark on the world of
international sport.
Canada is proud to be a leading sport nation,
and hosting the Games offers us an unrivalled
opportunity to highlight our sport and cultural
achievements on the national and international

the creativity, diversity and innovative spirit
that define us as Canadians. On the road to
our country’s 150th birthday in 2017, we look
forward to showing the world what makes
Canada strong, proud and free.
Our Government has made considerable
investments in these Games, from the
construction of competition venues to support
for our athletes. Our investment in the Games
will ensure that Toronto and communities
throughout the Greater Golden Horseshoe have
excellent sport facilities that athletes will be able
to enjoy for many years to come.
As Minister of State (Sport), I would like to
welcome athletes, coaches, officials and
spectators from throughout the Americas to

As a spectator, you will have the chance to
admire and applaud athletic prowess in 51
sports taking place in over 30 venues across

role of spectator as a passive one, but rather
as an important component of the exciting
environment surrounding major sport events
and as a catalyst for athletic performance.
I look forward to seeing that wonderful
spectator-competitor dynamic during the
Games.
For those who are visiting Ontario for the first
time — or making a return trip — I can assure
you that our province is ready to offer you the
very best of its hospitality. Whether you revel
in the great outdoors, prefer the amenities of
urban life or enjoy the friendly ambience of
smaller communities, our province has what
you are looking for.
Ontario is extremely proud to play host to

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
During the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games, there are several things in Toronto and
the Greater Golden Horseshoe region that will change from what you’re accustomed to. Before you
head to a venue or event, here are some tips to help you have the best Games experience.
Plan your trip
Each venue page in this guide provides valuable planning tips, special venue notes and

opening times vary from venue to venue, so check
your venue’s page for more details and, most
importantly, don’t forget your ticket.
Prepare for security
To enter ticketed Games venues, you must possess
a valid ticket and pass through security screening,
which may include a bag inspection. The screening
takes place before you enter the venue and is in place
to ensure that no one is carrying prohibited or restricted
items. Consult the Conditions of Entry page and the

competition, or the registered ticket
purchaser may apply for a refund.
•
If the postponement is determined before
a scheduled ticketed session has begun
and is rescheduled for a new date and/
or time, ticket holders may retain their
original tickets for admission to the
rescheduled event, or the registered
purchaser may apply for a refund.
•
If the rescheduled competition is added
to another existing ticketed competition
session, the registered ticket purchaser
will receive an automatic refund within 30
working days of the event.
Arriving at the venue
Ticket holders with a valid session ticket can
enter the venue from the time the gates open
until the end of the competition. Not every sport
runs according to schedule, so we recommend
arriving early in the session to experience
everything the competition and venue have to
offer. At certain venues, ticket holders who arrive
after a session starts may be required to wait for a
pause in the competition before taking their seats.
Ticketed competition session delay
Ticketed session start and finish times
are subject to change. Competitions may
experience delays for reasons such as inclement
weather. Should a ticketed competition be
delayed but resumed on the same calendar
day and completed, or if the interruption
occurs after competition has begun and
the International Federation rules deem the
competition was substantially completed, these
sessions are considered completed, and ticket
purchasers are not eligible to receive a refund or
ticket exchange.
Ticketed competition session cancellation
In the unlikely circumstance that a ticketed
competition session is cancelled and not
rescheduled, the registered purchaser will
receive an automatic refund within 30 working
days of the event’s cancellation.
Refunds are only available for the face value
of the tickets. Fees, charges, associated costs,
expenses or losses, except those required by
Canadian law, will not be refunded.
For more information,
visit TORONTO2015.org/tickets.
Ticketed competition session
postponement
Competitions that experience a delay, where
the event may be rescheduled as a new event
at a new date and time, are considered a
postponement. This may occur in advance of
the start of the ticketed session or when the
interruption occurs after competition has begun
and the International Federation rules deem the
competition was not substantially completed.

GET GAMES READY
Just like athletes prepare for competition, you should prepare for your TORONTO 2015 Games
experience. Your safety, comfort and enjoyment of the Games could depend on decisions you make
even before you leave home. To get the most out of the Games, it’s worth keeping in mind the following:
Smoke-Free Games Experience
TO2015 is committed to providing a smoke-free spectator experience at the
Games. The adoption of a smoke-free policy aligns with the principles of sport,
physical activity and a healthy lifestyle. This restriction extends to the use of
cigarettes and e-cigarettes, hookahs, snuffing and chewing tobacco.
Prepare for the Weather
Always check the weather forecast before leaving for an event, especially if you’re planning to visit
an outdoor venue. Environment Canada offers detailed weather information and alerts. Also, there
are many apps that can bring this information directly to your mobile device. Weather Active,
developed jointly by Environment Canada and Toronto Public Health, is an app that provides
weather forecasts and alerts, along with health and lifestyle tips. Games venue pages in this guide
also provide weather-related advice specific to that sport and/or location.
Other key weather-related tips
• Wear sunscreen — Apply a broad-spectrum
sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher (SPF 30
or higher for extended outdoor exposure)
before you head outside. Reapply your
sunscreen approximately every two hours.
• Stay stylish but safe — Wear loose, lightcoloured breathable clothing, along with
a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA-and-UVB
protective sunglasses to help protect you
from the heat and sun.
• Stay hydrated — Drink lots of cool water,
even before you feel thirsty. Bring your
refillable water bottle as free drinking water is
available at all venues.
• Plan for appropriate footwear — A number of
events and venues may require a significant
amount of walking and/or standing.
Outdoor venues may have uneven or difficult
terrain and some competition sessions
and spectator areas require standing for
extended periods. Please wear comfortable,
weather-appropriate footwear.
• Watch for signs of heat illness — If you or
someone you’re with start to feel dizzy or
nauseous, have a headache, are extremely
thirsty or develop rapid breathing or
heartbeat, move to a cool place and drink
lots of water. Heat stroke is a medical
emergency! Seek help if you, or someone
you’re with have a high body temperature,
seems confused or lose consciousness.

ACCESSIBILITY AND DIVERSITY
AT THE GAMES
Diversity and inclusion
The TORONTO 2015 Pan Am and Parapan
Am Games celebrate the diversity of Canada,
Ontario, the Greater Golden Horseshoe region,
and the Americas. This emphasis on diversity
has created plans and programs that reflect
the cultures, communities and demographics
of Ontario and make for an inviting and
welcoming Games environment.
TO2015 has developed the first diversity
policy in Pan Am and Parapan Am Games
history to deliver the most diverse multisport Games ever. The diversity plan for the
TORONTO 2015 Games incorporates varied
representation on governance and advisory
committees, the selection of Games partners
and suppliers from diverse communities, and
community outreach programs that engage
a variety of neighbourhood and cultural
communities as well as youth, seniors and
LGBTQ people. In fact, the TORONTO 2015
Pan Am and Parapan Am Games are the first
Games to host a Pride House.
Accessibility
TO2015 is striving to the be most accessible
and inclusive international multi-sport Games
to date, and is excited to present an integrated
Games experience, with accessible buildings,
venues, features and services offered across
the entire Games footprint. Every competition
venue, ceremony venue and Live Site has been
carefully reviewed to ensure that all spectators,
regardless of ability, are able to make the most
of their Games experience and enjoy all that the
Games have to offer.
TO2015’s ambitious construction and venue
renovation program will also leave a significant
accessibility legacy in Ontario, setting the stage
for the delivery of accessible services and
venues for all of the activities and events that
follow the Games in those facilities, as well as in
the procedures, policies and practices deployed
for the Games that will be carried forward by
Games partners, sponsors and communities
long after the Closing Ceremonies.
The accessibility plan for the
Games ensures that:
•
Venues, services and transportation are
designed, operated and delivered to be
accessible to persons with a disability during
the Games period.
•
The Games showcase accessibility and
positively influence behaviours and attitudes
throughout the Games region and beyond.
•
The Games develop social legacy initiatives
for Ontario by working with partner
community organizations.
Are You Ready?
The Are You Ready? Challenge invites tourismrelated businesses to make simple and low-cost
accessibility improvements to help them be
even better hosts to the athletes, spectators and
tourists who will are visiring Ontario during the
Pan Am and Parapan Am Games.
These improvements will not only benefit
individual travellers and Games participants
for the short-term, but also over the longterm as businesses benefit from tourists with
disabilities — who make up the fastest-growing
tourism market in Canada and globally. The
Games present an opportunity to showcase
the readiness of Ontario’s tourism-related
businesses by welcoming these visitors with
accessible buildings and services.

FIND YOUR WAY TO
THE GAMES VENUES
There’s a lot going on during the Games, not to mention the dozens of key locations to find
and navigate. TO2015 and the Province of Ontario have worked closely with regional transit and
transportation authorities to develop an integrated navigation program to guide you on your
Games journey.
Venue identification
Venues are identified in two ways:
1.
By its full name, such as CIBC Pan
Am/Parapan Am Aquatics Centre
and Field House.
2. By its unique three-letter venue code,
such as PAC.
These three-letter venue
codes are your key to getting
you to and around the
venues. The codes appear in
this guide and on venue web
pages, maps, tickets and
wayfinding signage.
Wayfinding
As you approach every TORONTO 2015 venue,
local highways, roadways and transit hubs
provide wayfinding signage to direct you not just
to the venues, but also to parking areas, transit
stops and spectator entrances.
The signs are blue and orange with sport
pictograms (except for when located on roads
with speed limits greater than 60 km/hour and
on the routes to CIBC Pan Am Park). All signs
feature TORONTO 2015 branding.
• Tip — Icons on event signs direct you to key
venue services. For example, icons with P+
and the image of a bus indicate park-andride locations.
• Tip — The venues section of this guide
(page 41) and the venue table of contents
list all TORONTO 2015 venue names and
three-letter venue codes.
• Tip — Check the venue page for details on
the gate opening time for your event. The
earlier you arrive, the more time you’ll have
to explore the venue and be in your seat for
the start of the competition.
Sessions
How to Read Your Ticket
A TORONTO 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am
Games ticket provides admission to a particular
session. Some sessions may take place over
a full day of competition, while others may be
for a specific set of matches or part of the
competition. Visit TORONTO2015.org/schedule
for detailed competition information.
Before you leave for your venue, be
sure to check your ticket for the:
Seating Types
5. bar code for scanning
There are three types of seating assignments:
6. terms and conditions
• Reserved seating — Specific dedicated seats
are identified on your ticket.
1.
• General admission — Seating is on
a first-come, first-served basis within
general spectator seating areas. Many
general admission venues do not have
specific seating areas, but you can move
along the edges of the competition area
(usually a course for a distance race, golf
and other sports) to find your preferred
viewing point.
• General admission by block — Your ticket
identifies a specific block of the seating area,
and within that section, seats are available
on a first-come, first-served basis.

There are many ways to travel around the Games footprint this summer. There are several
transportation options to make it easy for you to get to your sport competition/event, such as:
•
Transit to and from the event is FREE with
your printed event ticket.

Transit
On the day of your sport competition/event, all
you have to do is show a printed copy of your
ticket to the transit operator and enjoy your trip!
The Games transit network is a vast system that
includes Brampton Transit (Züm), Burlington
Transit, Durham Region Transit (DRT), GO
Transit (rail and bus), Hamilton Street Railway
(HSR), Milton Transit, Mississauga Transit
(MiWay), Oakville Transit, Toronto Transit
Commission (TTC), St. Catharines Transit,
Welland Transit, York Region Transit (YRT)/Viva.
Your sport competition/event ticket is nontransferable and your access to transit is only
valid on the date displayed on the ticket for trips
to and from the event. The map on page 26
shows which venues are accessible by transit
and the routes to each.
Don’t forget to use triplinx.ca, the interactive
transit trip planner — your best tool to
plan your Games journey.
Alert! Transit is not included with tickets
purchased for PANAMANIA, presented by
CIBC, the 35-day arts and cultural festival.
Transit and auto trip planners
Transit and auto trip planners are the best way
for you to plan your journey to the Games. The
auto trip planner provides the most up-to-date
information about the Games’ impact on roads
in order for you to navigate your trip. Learn more
about these trip planners and other apps on
page 14.
Temporary HOV lanes
Accessible parking
On some routes, one lane will be converted
to a temporary High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV)
lane to help athletes and officials get to and
from events and make it easier for Ontario
families and carpoolers to get around.
Limited accessible parking is available for all
ticketed competition venues and ceremony
venues. All accessible parking must be prebooked. Bookings can be made online and by
phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All
bookings must be made at least 24 hours in
advance of your event. Once booked, you will
receive an email confirming your booking, which
will include your accessible parking pass and
driving instructions to the parking lot.
Vehicles travelling with three or more
passengers can access the temporary HOV
lanes from June 29 to July 27. From July 28
to August 18, vehicles travelling with two or
more passengers can access the HOV lanes.
Temporary HOV lanes will operate from 5:00
am to 11:00 pm, and will be clearly marked with
signs and pavement markings.
Transit buses, licensed taxis and electric and
hybrid vehicles with the green Ontario licence
plate can access the HOV lanes on the
provincial highway network and will not need a
specific number of passengers.
For more information about the HOV network
and other regional transportation plans visit
Ontario.ca/Games2015.

lighting of the Games cauldron.
The Closing Ceremony on July 26 features music organized by Live Nation
Entertainment and includes top Canadian and international musical acts. Always
a party-like atmosphere, the Closing Ceremony honours outstanding Games

Pan Am sport
At the sport’s highest level, serves can approach 250 kilometres an hour,
but tennis isn’t all about power. The speed of the players chasing down balls,
the precision of passing shots that aim for and touch the line, the spins and
variations used to keep opponents off balance are as impressive as any
aspect of the game, especially from stands so close to the action.

• Please be advised that this is an outdoor venue and there is limited shading at
the venue. Please prepare accordingly.

Pan Am sport
Inspired by motocross, BMX is a chaotic combination of speed, wheeled
agility and fearlessness that pits eight cyclists at a time in an all-out race to
the finish on a purpose-built dirt track filled with jumps, tight bends, berms
and obstacles. Athletes wear full-face helmets in this rough-and-tumble
discipline. Bikes have one gear and one brake and must be strong enough to
withstand the rigors of the course, yet light and fast.
Special notes

throughout the spectator areas, and there may be uneven terrain. Please wear
appropriate footwear and prepare accordingly.

Pan Am sports
Aquatics – diving: Launching from the three-metre springboard or dropping
from the 10-metre platform, divers plunge to the water with a dizzying
combination of twists, somersaults and rotations in both pike (legs straight) and
tuck (legs pulled close to the body) positions. Then the athletes break the surface
of the pool with great speed and — ideally — a rip entry that almost eliminates
the splash.
Fencing: A battle of wits and technique, fencers move with grace and power,
lightning-fast reflexes and the subtle shifts of defense and attack. Fencing
bouts take place on a strip, or piste, measuring 14 metres in length by
1.5–2 metres wide, using three types of swords: foil, épée and sabre.
Modern pentathlon: Modern pentathlon was invented by Baron Pierre de
Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games, to simulate the
experiences and skills of a 19th century cavalry officer. As such, this unique
sport demands diverse talents of its competitors as it challenges them with
fencing, swimming, equestrian, running and shooting events conducted
over a single day.
Roller sports – speed skating: Men and women compete in three different
events to identify the fastest athletes on eight wheels. Skaters push forward
from a standing start and pursue gold in the 200-metre time trial, the
500-metre event and the 10,000-metre points event, which, as the name
suggests, provide points for the fastest skaters at specific laps.
Aquatics – swimming: Ferocity and grace, endurance and speed. Each event
and distance — breaststroke, butterfly, backstroke, freestyle and medley
contested over 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 or 1,500 metres — produces some of
the most memorable performances and athletes of any Games.
Aquatics – synchronized swimming: Above the water, synchronized swimming
is art, beauty, dance and precision. Below the surface, fiercely conditioned
athletes perform remarkable feats of strength, timing, flexibility, balance
and conditioning. In fact, even while performing perfectly choreographed
acrobatics, synchronized swimmers will often spend the first minutes of their
programs under water, working off the strength of a single breath.
Parapan Am sports
Sitting volleyball: Playing on a smaller court with a lower net than their Pan
Am Games colleagues, sitting volleyball athletes are closer together, putting
a premium on lightning reflexes. This also makes for a significantly fasterpaced game. These athletes display all the skills in digging, passing, setting,
hitting and blocking that is required of competition at the highest level. As the
teams of six work to keep the ball from landing on their court while trying to
force the ball onto their opponent’s side of the court, they must keep at least
one buttock in contact with the floor at all times.
Aquatics – swimming: Swimmers compete in a variety of classifications with
different adaptations to ability. Swimmers can begin races, for example, in
the water, or either sitting or standing on the starting platform. Swimmers with
visual impairments race in blackened goggles to ensure competitive fairness
and also have tappers to provide signals that help them prepare to turn or
reach for the wall. Most swimming events are individual races, but the sport
also features team relays.
Special notes
• Spectators can tune into dedicated FM frequencies to hear competition
announcements on their own devices. Each competition space will have it’s own
frequency. Consult the venue web page for further details.

•

Records will be made and legends will be created in this accessible venue, which is set in
the natural landscape of York University’s Boyer Woodlot. Featuring a 400-metre track
and an infield built for throwing and jumping disciplines, anyone watching has a thrilling
view of every competition taking place at this world-class facility.
Pan Am sport
Athletics: The track events feature distances from 100 metres to 10,000
metres, with the excitement of the hurdles and steeplechase as well. The
field competitions include the throwing events of shot put, discus, javelin and
hammer throw, while the jumping events offer pole vault, high jump, long
jump and triple jump. Track and field also includes, for men, the legendary
decathlon and for women, the equally impressive heptathlon.
Opening Ceremony
On August 7, the best para-athletes from the Americas will fill the venue
for the Parapan Am Opening Ceremony. The ceremony will create lifetime
memories for athletes, coaches, officials and fans with the Parade of Nations
and the lighting of the cauldron, which officially opens the Games.
Parapan Am sport
Athletics: The track events — covering distances from 100 to 5,000 metres,
including the 4 x 100 metre and 4 x 400 metre relay events — demand
both speed and endurance. The field events include shot put, discus, javelin,
long jump, high jump and an event that is unique to para-athletics, the club
throw. Athletes compete according to their functional classification, with some
athletes using wheelchairs, prostheses or the guidance of a sighted person.

and teams go head-to-head to move on to the medal rounds.

Pan Am/Parapan Am Fields
Grass playing fields at the University of
Toronto transform into two world-class field
hockey pitches to host field hockey, one of
the world’s most popular sports for the Pan
Am Games, as well as football 5-a-side
and football 7-a-side at the Parapan Am
Games. Located at the university’s St.
George Campus, the fields are Ontario’s first
international-calibre field hockey venue and
double the number of fields available for the
sport in the Greater Toronto Area.

Pan Am sport
Field hockey: Contested outdoors by two teams of 11 players on a pitch
approximately the same size as an American football field, the players use
short hooked sticks to pass, shoot and defend the sport’s hard ball. Because
players can only contact the ball with one side — the flat side — of the stick,
the skill in the flips, turns and twists of the stick are mind-boggling.
Parapan Am sports
Football 5-a-side: With a small field and a wall that surrounds the playing
area, the fast-paced game of football 5-a-side — with four outfield players
and a sighted goalkeeper — will remind fans of indoor soccer. The confined
space and rebound wall make the action quick and dynamic and all the more
impressive because the athletes have visual impairments. The object of the
competition is, of course, to score more than the opposing team by kicking
the ball into the opponent’s goal. The ball, however, is equipped with a noisemaking device to help competitors locate it by sound, and each team has
guides positioned beside the field of play to offer verbal directions.
Football 7-a-side: Designed originally for athletes with cerebral palsy, the
Parapan Am Games competition also involves athletes with other neurological
disorders, including stroke and traumatic brain injury. Compared to football
at the Pan Am Games, football 7-a-side — with six outfield players and a
goalkeeper — is contested on smaller pitches with smaller goals and smaller
teams, but the action is full sized. Some of the rule adaptations make for an
up-and-down style of play as players try to control the ball and kick it into the
opposing team’s goal.

Pan Am sport
Basketball: With the level of competition extremely high — the Americas
account for approximately one third of the world’s top 30 basketball
nations for both men and women — the athletes offer a highlight-making
combination of size, speed, strength and skill. Compared to the basketball
North Americans usually watch at home, international-level basketball tends
to feature more ball movement, player movement and well-spaced offenses.
The games move fast and the action is non-stop.
Parapan Am sport
Wheelchair basketball: This sport has been part of the Paralympic program
since 1960 and is sure to be one of the most popular sports of the Parapan
Am Games. The number of players, the court, the ball and the height of the
hoop will all be familiar to basketball fans, as will the scoring. Wheelchair
basketball athletes also move the ball around the court by passing or dribbling,
except that holding the ball for more than two pushes on the wheels — instead
of steps — results in a travelling violation. The sport is open to athletes with
physical disabilities that prevent them from running, jumping and pivoting.

Pan Am sport
In sailing, nature is both an obstacle and a teammate. A beautiful sport to
watch as brightly coloured crafts slide across blue waters; the closer you look,
the more action you see as sailors react quickly to changing conditions, the
positions of competitors and the course. In 10 different sailing events, women
compete against each other in three; men compete against each other in two
and the remaining five see men and women in direct competition.

Parapan Am sport
With a history dating back to 1976, wheelchair tennis is a long-standing
and popular wheelchair sport. Open to athletes who have permanent or
substantial loss of function in one or both legs, wheelchair tennis provides
all of the tension and excitement of a sport where an entire match can turn
on a single point or a single shot, and where the margin between victory and
defeat can be the sliver of daylight that turns a perfectly struck winner into a
ball called out.

Pan Am sport
Archery: Archery is a sport unique for the value it places on stillness. As
a spectator, there is electricity in the moments of quiet and anticipation,
followed by the breathtakingly accurate release of the arrow to targets 70
metres away. Across a range nearly as long as a football field, archers hit
bull’s-eyes just 12.2 centimetres in diameter.
Parapan Am sport
Archery: Archers barely move, but the precision and skill of the athletes
and the exacting standards of the competition make archery one of the
Games’ most exciting sports. Either standing or seated in a wheelchair,
recurve archers aim at 122-centimetre diameter targets of concentric rings
set 70 metres away, and compound archers shoot from 50 metres at an
80-centimetre target. At this level of competition, the real target is the
12.2-centimetre gold centre ring, which some people call the bull’s-eye.
Hitting that most valuable part of the target is like releasing an arrow from
centre field of a baseball diamond and hitting a smartphone at home plate.

largest Chevrolet Volt-powered slot car track. Go head-to-head against family and
friends and put your pedal-power to the test. Race for the gold and receive your very
own commemorative medal. While you’re at it, be sure check out the Volt battery tower,
mobile device charging stations and our exciting lineup of cars, crossovers and trucks
including the all-new 2016 Chevrolet Volt electric vehicle.
•
You’ve seen it on TV, now experience it for yourself. This summer Molson Canadian
House is in Toronto for the Pan Am Games and has the best patio in town. Adjacent
to the PANAMANIA live at CIBC Pan Am Park stage, catch live entertainment, watch
the live sports feed, grab a bite from the food trucks and of course enjoy some ice cold
Molson Canadian with friends between Rugby Sevens and Handball only a few minutes’
walk away. Molson Canadian House is the place for sports fans this summer.
•
The Royal Canadian Mint produced the spectacular TORONTO 2015 competition
medals with metals provided by Barrick Gold Corporation. See them in person while
donning the traditional white gloves and let your fingers trail over the mokume gane
application on the front and braille on the back, both firsts for Games medals. Marvel at
the attention to detail and commitment to excellence, then capture
the moment with a photo.
•
The Siemens Canada Geodesic Dome at CIBC Pan Am Park is an opportunity to “look
inside” through interactive displays and activities. Visitors can use the power of their
thoughts to cause a virtual wind turbine to spin at the Mind2Motion display, and compare
their energy output against others. The Syngo lets visitors take photos in front of a
green screen and superimpose their head on an ultrasound image of a human body—
with their printed photo as a takeaway. The Siemens Smart Table allows visitors to look
inside a city and see how it can manage its energy use, improve manufacturing, deal
with water and wastewater, handle healthcare, and provide efficient and environmentallyfriendly transportation options for its citizens. Interactive kiosks let visitors look inside the
Siemens world and learn more about the company.
•
Beanfield Metroconnect is opening the door to new connections. Six-foot-tall vertical TV
screens with two-way connections are embedded in the interactive doorways located in
CIBC Pan Am Park and at the CIBC Pan Am/Parapan Am Athletes’ Village. Through a
live feed provided via the Beanfield network, visitors can interact with the person at the
other end. With more than 7,600 athletes from 41 countries and territories attending the
Games, you never know who might be on the other side.

First contested at the 1999 Pan Am Games in Winnipeg, beach volleyball
provides intense competition and athleticism in an almost festive atmosphere
as both fans and athletes enjoy sun and sand mixed with national pride. In
both the men’s and women’s tournaments, two-person teams compete on
sand courts nearly the same size as the indoor volleyball courts covered by six
players a side.

Pan Am sports
Volleyball – indoor: Six players a side defend their half of an 18-metre by
9-metre court with a net separating one team from the other. Some of the
most critical parts of the game are played either well above the net, where
attackers try to spike the ball to the ground while blockers attempt to stop the
ball before it crosses, or right on the floor where lightning-quick defenders,
particularly the defense-only specialist libero, keep attack hits from getting to
the floor.
Roller sports – figure skating: Much like the better-known (at least in
Canada) figure skating on ice, roller sports – figure skating features men and
women competing in solo performances of balletic, choreographed routines
set to music. The routines include jumps, spins, footwork and dance-like
elements scored by judges who reward speed, height in jumps, control, variety,
originality and the sense of connection from one element to the next.
Handball: Fans who are new to handball will recognize elements of soccer,
basketball and even lacrosse in a sport that is contested on a 40-metre by
20-metre floor by teams of seven players who pass and dribble a small ball
with their hands. The game is physical and fast moving, with goals often
coming in rapid succession and players regularly sacrificing their bodies to
create or disrupt scoring opportunities.
Squash: In elite-level competition, the tiny squash ball can reach speeds in
excess of 200 kilometres an hour. This sport is fast. Played on a 205-square
metre court with a glass back wall, the actions of both the ball and the
athletes are marked by instantaneous changes in direction as the ball
ricochets around the court and the competitors chase shots into the corners
before returning to the dominant position in the centre of the court.
Racquetball: Played on an enclosed court with spectators watching through
a glass back wall, racquetball is an aggressive, physical sport where athletes
frequently dive, spin, jump and slide to make shots and score points. Men and
women compete in singles, doubles and team competitions where agility and
creativity are prominent features.

Pan Am sport
Known for its speed and power, rugby sevens challenges teams to score
points by driving the ball into the opponent’s goal area or kicking it through
the goal posts. Teams try to advance the ball by running it forward and
passing laterally or backwards to teammates to avoid tackles. This game is
fierce, fast and physical and features some of the most intense battles for ball
possession and field position anywhere in sport.
Exhibition Stadium is located in the northwest corner of CIBC Pan Am Park.

Pan Am sports
Athletics – marathon: The ultimate test of athletic endurance, the marathon
is one of the crowning events of any Games. World-class athletes complete
the 26.2-mile (42.2-kilometre) marathon course running at a pace that for
most people would be a full-out sprint. This is no weekend jog. Being up close
to the marathoners provides a true appreciation not just of the fitness that
traditionally defines the race, but the impressive speed as well.
Athletics – race walk: If you’re expecting a stroll, this is the wrong event. The
athletes in race walk cover ground at a remarkable pace, within the strict
limitations of the sport’s rules. During the race, athletes must have one foot
in contact with the ground at all times as well as keep their supporting leg
straight. They must hold this position from the time their foot first impacts the
ground until the supporting leg passes below the body.
Cycling – road: One of the world’s most-watched sports, seeing these
cyclists compete can be an unforgettable experience. Road cycling puts all
competitors on the road at the same time, with men riding a 160-kilometre
course and women an 80-kilometre route. With everyone on the road at the
same time, strategy, drafting, teamwork and risk play big parts in determining
the medal winners.
Open water swimming: It’s the ultimate challenge of swimmer versus distance
as both men and women power through a 10-kilometre course with no pool,
no walls to touch, no flip turns, just open water ahead and behind. This is the
marathon of aquatics. The race start is a colourful, noisy spectacle of churning
water as the athletes fight for early position, and as the line of swimmers
stretches out, navigation becomes part of the challenge as staying on the most
efficient line from buoy to buoy conserves precious time and energy.
Waterski & wakeboard: One of the only motorized sports at the Games,
waterski & wakeboard is a spectacle of turns, flips, twists and flight. Both men
and women compete in waterski’s four events: tricks, slalom, jump and overall.
Only men compete in wakeboarding — a tricks-based, judged competition
where riders on short boards get airborne by using the boat’s wake as a
ramp.
Triathlon: Men and women complete a 1,500-metre open water swim, a
40-kilometre road cycling course and a 10-kilometre run. For an event
contested over 51.5 total kilometres, it’s also amazingly action-packed,
especially in the transitions from swim to bike and from bike to run where
competitors hurriedly switch from one discipline to the next, trying to gain
time on the field. First across the finish line wins.
Ontario Place West Channel is located in the southernmost corner of CIBC Pan Am Park,
accessible through the Park by the bridge over Lake Shore Boulevard.

Gymnastics – artistic gymnastics: Artistic gymnasts seem to defy gravity and
find balance magically from impossible tumbles and twists in this combination
of grace, strength, flexibility and precision. Contested both individually and as a
team, men compete on floor, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars and high
bar, while women compete on floor, vault, uneven bars and balance beam.
Gymnastics – rhythmic gymnastics: In the hands of athletes who combine
elements of dance, artistic gymnastics and acrobatics, the apparatus in
rhythmic gymnastics is in constant motion. The hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon
— the names of both the apparatus and the individual events — come to life
as the gymnasts propel themselves through movements that vary in shape,
amplitude, direction, plane and speed. Rhythmic gymnastics is one of only
two Pan American sports in which only women compete.
Gymnastics – trampoline: Watch athletes fly. The trampoline can send
competitors as high as nine metres into the air where they complete one of
the 10 skills that constitute a routine. Some of the acrobatic elements have
breathtaking combinations of speed, power, grace and flight. Medal-winning
routines feature high, rhythmic bouncing, leading to spectacular airborne
twisting and tumbling elements.

Parapan Am sports
Judo: Developed in Japan in the 19th century, judo is a fighting style built
around attempts to throw or hold the opponent. In fact, judoka earn points
depending on the quality of moves like throws, armlocks and strangleholds,
with the ultimate goal being an “ippon” — an instant victory that comes from
perfectly executing an aggressive and decisive move. Judoka at the Parapan
Am Games have visual impairments. The bouts and techniques involved
are very similar to those on display at the Pan Am Games. Men and women
compete separately in a variety of weight classes.
Boccia: Athletes compete as individuals, pairs or teams to propel the six balls
of each “end” as close as possible to the jack — a white ball that is the target
for most shots. At the conclusion of each end, the team with the closest ball
to the jack counts a point and receives an additional point for every other
ball that is closer to the jack than the best-placed of the opponent’s shots.
Athletes competing in boccia can use a variety of techniques to propel their
shots, including throwing, kicking and assistive devices such as ramps. Each
technique requires precise control over speed, direction and spin.

Pan Am sports
Badminton: Badminton is a lightning-fast racquet sport played as either
singles or doubles, with players situated on opposite sides of a rectangular
court split in half by a net. Badminton athletes are among the fittest and
most agile of any sport, considering shuttlecocks (birdies) can reach speeds
of 350 kilometres an hour.
Table tennis: Prepare to watch table tennis at the highest level. The game
provides consistently stunning play as competitors control the lightest ball in sport
and guide it over a six-inch net and onto a 22.5-square foot half of a table. The
array of shots the Pan Am athletes can make and — just as impressively — the
positions on the floor from which they can hit them, almost defy physics.
Water polo: Water polo may seem a little like soccer played with hands in a
pool, but this sport has a ferocious nature. Teams of seven athletes a side
(six in the field, one goalie) contest four eight-minute quarters without
touching the sides or bottom of the pool. The players’ strength and
endurance is remarkable and on display perhaps most impressively during an
eggbeater, a powerful leg-kick technique that can lift the athlete high out of
the water to defend or attempt a shot on net.
Parapan Am sport
Table tennis: The lightest ball in sport escapes the basement rec room and
arrives at the Games in a fiercely competitive and fast-paced event that is
open to athletes with physical impairments competing in either standing or
sitting classifications. Part of the Paralympic program since 1960, para-table
tennis inherits almost all of the rules of table tennis, a game that first used
books as racquets. Now, table tennis athletes employ high-performance
racquets consisting of composite blades covered in hi-tech rubber.

Pan Am sports
Weightlifting: An original Olympic Games sport, weightlifting combines precise
technique with brute force as men and women compete to lift the most weight
in two types of lifts. The snatch is a nerve-racking blink of an eye that takes
the heavily weighted bar above the head in a single motion. The clean and jerk
involves two distinct motions — one to bring the bar to rest at shoulder height,
the next to push the weight to a stable position above the head.
Boxing: Boxing requires precision, speed and quick reflexes, and for the
Pan Am Games, is contested in rapid-fire bouts of up to three threeminute rounds for men and four two-minute rounds for women. Boxing has
been on the competition schedule at every Pan American Games since
the first Games in 1951, and women competed for the first time in 2011 in
Guadalajara.

Baseball: Baseball is sure to be a fan favourite and a magnet for some of
the greatest displays of national pride. The Pan Am Games have long been
a springboard for future big leaguers, so this is an opportunity to see some
rising stars as they compete in one of the top fan experience sports there is.
Softball: In softball, pitchers launch the ball toward the plate underhand and
that’s when the laws of aerodynamics take over, making the pitch rise, drop
or curve. The dimensions of the game make the action fast and demand
lightning-quick reactions from the players both at the plate and in the field.

Pan Am sports
Eventing: Eventing is like the triathlon of the equestrian world as horse and
rider compete for total points across dressage, a long cross-country course
with natural and artificial obstacles and show jumping. This venue features
the dressage and jumping components of eventing.
Dressage: Magnificent horses and their riders — in an event where men and
women compete on an even playing field — take to a 60-metre by 20-metre
arena where judges score the work of the horse-and-rider pairs as they
perform prescribed elements, including a walk, trot and canter, according to a
scripted pattern, and also a freestyle routine performed to music.
Jumping: The show jumping competition is a test of speed, skill, power and
control — from both the rider and the horse. Show jumping takes place on
a course with approximately 15 fences, which are designed to fall down if a
horse hits them as they jump, resulting in a fault and a penalty when they do
so. The winner is the rider who completes the course within the set time and
with the fewest faults.
Special notes
• No items that emit a loud, intentional noise are permitted in the venue.
• Please be advised that this is an outdoor venue, and there is limited shading
in the spectator seating area. Please prepare accordingly.
• Additional equestrian retail items are available for purchase at this venue.

Pan Am sport
Cycling – track track cycling: Track cycling is to be a showcase of endurance,
adrenaline and strength as athletes compete for medals and titles in
team and individual competitions, while reaching speeds of more than 80
kilometres per hour on bikes equipped with one gear and no brakes. Track
cycling events include team competitions such as team pursuit and team
sprint, and individual events like sprint, keirin and the ultimate test of a
cyclist’s skills — the omnium.
Parapan Am sport
Cycling – track cycling: Athletes with a range of physical or visual impairments

Cycling - road cycling is one of the world’s most-watched sports. Competitors
in the time trial (40 kilometres for men, 20 for women) leave the start one at
a time at regular intervals. Each cyclist races against the clock and once the
last competitor crosses the line, the best time wins.
Parapan Am sport
Cycling - road cycling got its start with visually impaired cyclists competing
on tandem bikes. Today, the sport also includes athletes with physical
impairments, cerebral palsy and amputees. Bicycles, tricycles, tandems and
handcycles can be used in road racing events. In time trial competitions,
athletes start individually in 60-second intervals. It’s a race against the clock;
the fastest time over the set distance wins.

Pan Am sports
Judo: Judo may mean “the gentle way,” but this is a sport of sudden throws
and quick reflexes combined with tests to the limits of balance, flexibility,
strategy and mental preparation. Judo matches last five minutes, pitting one
athlete against another. The sport encompasses throwing and groundwork
techniques with scores awarded for different throws and holds.
Karate: Karate offers two distinct forms of competition at TORONTO 2015.
Kumite puts the athletes into a series of one-on-one bouts to reach the
podium. During three-minute bouts for men and two-minute bouts for
women, competitors receive points for successful kicks, strikes and punches
to their opponent. Kata is a judged competition featuring individual and
team disciplines. Competitors perform without a direct opponent and display
a series of choreographed karate techniques that judges score for timing,
distance, power, balance and speed.
Taekwondo: Taekwondo is a martial art contested in matches of three rounds
of two minutes each. Combatants step onto the mat wearing protective gear
on their heads and chests — the scoring areas in the sport. To win the match,
competitors attempt to kick or punch their opponents in the scoring zones to
earn points. The scoring system rewards activity and styles resulting in highly
athletic and dynamic moves such as spinning kicks and punches.
Wrestling: Wrestling may be the oldest sport in human history, but the action
on the mat during competitions shows that it has lost none of its ferocity. In a
contest of strength, skill, will and training, the combatants attempt to collect
points by controlling their opponents with holds, grapples, throws and pins.
Bouts are usually two or three periods of up to three minutes each.
Parapan Am sports
Goalball: Played exclusively by athletes with a visual impairment, and with all
athletes wearing eyeshades to allow competitors with varying degrees of vision
to compete equally, goalball involves two teams of three facing off on an
indoor court, using hearing as their dominant sense. On a surface with tactile
lines, the object is to roll the ball into the opposing team’s goal. Because
athletes must hear the ball and be able to concentrate, spectators are asked
to remain silent during the game. When a team does score, however, the
crowd is free to erupt in cheers — the players won’t mind at all.
Powerlifting: Originally contested by athletes with spinal cord injuries,
powerlifting at the Parapan Am Games is now open to athletes with other
disabilities, all competing from the bench-press position. From there, the
referee signals commencement, and the battle between athlete and gravity
begins. The lifter brings the weighted bar down to his or her chest, then
presses it upwards in an attempt to hold the bar steady with straight arms.
Athletes have three attempts to lift each weight and the successful athletes
advance to attempt to lift progressively heavier bars. Men and women
compete separately and in different weight classes.
Wheelchair rugby: If you have the opportunity to watch a sport originally
called “murderball,” you should snap up tickets. Invented in Winnipeg,
Manitoba, nearly four decades ago as an alternative to wheelchair basketball
for athletes with reduced hand and arm function, wheelchair rugby is one of
the can’t-miss events of the Games. Athletes with limited or no function in
both upper and lower limbs work with teammates to score goals by advancing
the ball to the opponent’s goal line. They carry, pass or dribble the ball — a
volleyball — in what is always a fast-paced and often violent contest.

Pan Am sport
Shooting is the opposite of most Pan Am sports in that it places a premium
on a lack of movement. The greatest athletes in the sport are the most still
and controlled. There are three separate disciplines in shooting: pistol (a
short firearm held in one hand), rifle (a long gun fired from the shoulder and
designed to fire bullets with great accuracy) and shotgun (a long gun that
fires round shot).

• Please be advised that this venue is very loud and we recommend bringing

Rowing events are 2,000-metre battles of speed, power, endurance and
synchronization that leave the athletes completely spent as they cross the
finish line. All rowers face backwards in their boats every major muscle group
in their bodies to pull the blades of one or two oars through the water as their
seats slide to allow for the longest and most powerful strokes possible.

TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Cauldron
Built from 10 types of steel provided by Hamilton-based ArcelorMittal Dofasco, Canada’s largest flatrolled steel producer, the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am cauldron is one of the most visible
symbols of the Games. The cauldron’s design and construction reflect the unique nature and pride of
the Host City and Host Country, and the flame is a symbol of the Pan Am Games legacy. The flame
also symbolizes the spirit of athletes uniting in both competition and friendship at the Games.
The lighting of the cauldron during the Opening Ceremony on July 10 marks the official opening of
the Games. The cauldron burns until the Games close on July 26.
After the Pan Am Closing Ceremony, the cauldron comes to life again on August 7 when it marks
the opening of the TORONTO 2015 Parapan Am Games.
CN Tower
As the Official Attraction of the
Games, the CN Tower is the
defining feature of Toronto’s
skyline and, according to the
American Society of Civil
Engineers, one of the seven
wonders of the modern world. The
553.33-metre-high CN Tower was
the world’s tallest tower, building
and free-standing structure from
its construction in 1976 until 2010.
With a spectacular elevator ride,
views that can stretch as far as
160 kilometres, a glass-floor view,
the Outdoor SkyTerrace and the
EdgeWalk — the world’s highest
full circle hands-free walk — the
CN Tower is a remarkable vertical
collection of attractions. The tower
also features three restaurants
including award-winning fine
dining at the revolving 360
Restaurant, upscale bistro dining
at Horizons Restaurant and
casual fare at Le Café. And not
to miss is the architectural light
show. A Toronto landmark in its
own right, the light show takes
place every evening.

TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am
COMPETITION MEDALS
The TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am competition medals awarded for gold, silver and bronze
performances tell the rich story of the “People’s Games” through a beautifully layered design
showcasing innovation and inclusion. The design was a collaboration between the TO2015 brand and
creative serves team, the Royal Canadian Mint and Metis visual artist Christi Belcourt, with metals
provided by Barrick Gold Corporation.
The creative process lead to a texture of playful, engaging and authentic elements combining to
welcome the world to its most multicultural city and a celebration fueled by sport… United We Play!
The medals’ design incorporates the ancient technique
of mokume gane, which requires a high degree of skill
to fuse or “unite” different alloys into one useable
material while creating unique and artistic patterns.
These different patterns are created by repeating
a process of high-speed carving, de-burning,
forging and shaping. The Royal Canadian Mint’s
innovative approach in applying mokume gane
to the athletes’ medals will result in each medal
being truly one of a kind, while stylistically reflecting
the multicultural celebration of athletes and nations
coming together.
Braille is used for the first time ever on both
the Pan Am and the Parapan Am medals
to identify TORONTO 2015. This showcases
TO2015’s commitment to accessibility and
inclusion across both Games. The Canadian
National Institute for the Blind provided
specific guidelines for the use of braille in
this application.
The competition medals will be an important
legacy and forever represent the story behind the
TORONTO 2015 Games as well as be a valuable
keepsake for the athletes.

character and program of the Games, to providing some of the
most distinctive and memorable performances and art of the Games’

character and success of the Games.

MEET THE
FACE OF THE GAMES!
There are many impressive numbers associated with the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am and Parapan
Am Games, but possibly the most impressive is the Games volunteer team — more than 23,000
people strong. That’s the largest-ever team of volunteers assembled in Canadian peacetime history.
The tremendous response from communities throughout the Games region, and even beyond, is a
key factor in delivering a great Games and creating a welcoming, enjoyable and memorable Games
experience for all participants and spectators.
Volunteering with TORONTO 2015 is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many — an opportunity
to learn new skills, make new friends and represent Canada. Volunteers truly define the Games
experience. As the face of the Games, volunteers do everything from scanning tickets and providing
event services; greeting and hosting athletes and coaches; providing public announcements
at Games venues; contributing to medical teams and; serving in advisory, management and
leadership roles. And that’s just a sample of the countless ways volunteers contribute to the success
of the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am Games.
On behalf of TO2015, we sincerely thank each and every
volunteer for their outstanding dedication and passion for
the Games. They’re all gold medallists in our hearts!
And finally, a big thank you to Chevrolet Canada, the
presenting sponsor of the TORONTO 2015 volunteer
program, for supporting the volunteers throughout their
journey on the road to summer 2015.
Thank you 148

FRIENDS OF THE GAMES
Thank you to our community leaders, builders and enthusiastic Games supporters!
The TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games are a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of sport and
culture. Because these are the “People’s Games,” we’re doing everything possible to make the Games
accessible to as many people as possible. One of these ways is through Friends of the Games —
individuals or corporations who have purchased tickets to sport competitions and shared them with
youth in Toronto and the Greater Golden Horseshoe region.
TO2015 created this philanthropic initiative in collaboration with the esteemed Toronto Foundation and
youth groups in the Host Region to share tickets with 60,000 youth and their chaperones/companions.
The program is designed to ensure that leaders in our community can make the most of the Games
by inspiring leadership in others. By seeing elite athletes compete up close and being part of a
dynamic celebration of diversity, our goal is that youth will leave their experience feeling optimistic and
inspired to live healthy, active lives and to be fully engaged in their communities.
Our Friends of the Games patrons have made an invaluable contribution to the social legacy of the
Games. We, at TO2015, are honoured to recognize their leadership and generosity.

STAFF AND BOARD
RECOGNITION
TORONTO 2015 Staff
Toronto won the privilege of hosting the 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games in November 2009.
In the almost six years since, the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games Organizing
T02015 has grown steadily to meet the demands of delivering the largest international multisport Games in Canadian history. Many members of T02015 have been with the Organizing
Committee since the beginning. Others have joined the organization in the months leading up to
the Games as the demands have been the most intense. Regardless, all should be proud of their
contributions, their work and the legacy they have built for their communities, their province, their
country and the future of the Pan Am/Parapan Am Games.
Board of Directors
The TORONTO 2015 Pan American /Parapan American Games Board of Directors oversees the
direction and management of the Games. The 12-member board features representatives from
the five core partners in the Games: the Government of Canada, the Province of Ontario, the City
of Toronto, the Canadian Olympic Committee and the Canadian Paralympic Committee. The
board has provided a clear and consistent vision for TO2015 and assisted it’s management team
with wisdom, guidance, advocacy and support through every step of delivering a great Games.

LIMA 2019
PAN AM/PARAPAN AM GAMES
One of the great tradtions of the the Pan Am/Parapan Am
Games is the literal and figurative passing of the torch from
one Host City to the next during the Closing Ceremony.
TORONTO 2015 will pass the Games torch to Lima, the
capital and largest city of Peru. Lima is a dynamic coastal
city of nearly nine million people. The early planning stages
for the Lima Games are already forecasting they will be the
largest Pan Am/Parapan Games ever — with as many as 10,000
athletes competing.
Lima, like Toronto, was selected to be the Host City by a secret-ballot
vote of the member nations of the Pan American Sports Organization (PASO).
Lima finished ahead of the bids from three other cities: La Punta, Argentina; Santiago, Chile;
and Ciudad Bolívar, Venezuela.
The Lima 2019 Games are scheduled for July 26 to August 11, 2019, and they will carry on the
Pan Am/Parapan Am Games traditiions and build on the tremendous Games legacy of the
TORONTO 2015 Games.
