Grace Chiu tells that Ricky Martin, amongst others, will perform in closing ceremonies at Pan-Am Games in Mexico.
The Games 2015 move to Canada. Ontariariarians haven’t heard much about it.
Respected Canadian sports journalist Scott Russell:
… it’s “game on” for the 17th Pan American Games, to be held in several southern Ontario communities, including Toronto, in the summer of 2015.
Survey says a significant number of folks, particularly Torontonians, aren’t quite sure what the Pan Am Games are or even that their city will soon be the host.
“We’ve got our work cut out for us,” admits Ian Troop, the CEO of the TO2015 organizing committee. “To build awareness of what the Pan Am Games are and why they’re important and why people should care.”
At least they’ve got a worthy logo. 🙂
Having attended major sporting events all over Canada for the past 40yrs, I’m not filled with confidence to see it hosted in Ontario.
I judged Pan-Am Games 1999 in Winnipeg. Loved the event. The smaller city was a terrific host. But like Scott Russell, I have my doubts about Ontario. It’s my least favourite host Province.
