City's hopes rest with PanAm bid
4 November 2009
The Toronto Star

A favourable outcome is by no means certain but there is good cause to be optimistic regarding the odds of hosting the 2015 Pan Am Games. The local bid committee appears to have done everything right - securing vital government support, travelling the world to connect with key decision-makers and, most important of all, producing a landmark proposal involving not just Toronto but the whole Golden Horseshoe.

"There's nothing left to chance," former premier David Peterson, chair of the bid committee, said before leaving for Guadalajara, where the Pan American Sports Organization gathers today for a meeting that culminates Friday with selection of the winning city.

Peterson is being joined by Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, Mayor David Miller and a host of other local Pan Am boosters. They have a convincing story to tell.

The municipalities, province and country are ready to invest $1.43 billion to build facilities and stage the Games for 10,000 athletes and officials from more than 40 countries in the western hemisphere.

An entire athletes' village is to be constructed in the West Don Lands area of Toronto's waterfront. A new stadium is to be built in Hamilton. And a host of other brand new sports facilities are to be built, including Olympic-sized swimming pools and a velodrome.

The competition to host the Games in 2015 is coming from Bogota, Colombia, and Lima, Peru. While Toronto bid supporters believe they will get a majority of the 52 votes to be cast, it is a secret ballot, so they cannot be certain that assurances they have received will translate into votes on Friday. One possible factor working against Toronto is that Peru has never hosted these Games, while Canada has held them twice, both times in Winnipeg.

At stake in the bid are some 15,000 jobs, mainly in construction, and another $2 billion in spinoff economic activity. Toronto is expecting to reap gains, but so should communities from Durham to Niagara.

And the benefits won't just be economic. Transit improvements, new affordable housing and badly needed sports infrastructure could be lasting legacies of these Games.

Finally, there is the potential psychological uplift for Toronto after the disappointments of losing out in bids for the 1996 and 2008 Olympics, not to mention a dreary cast of losing local sports teams. "This city needs a win," says Peterson. He's right. Let's hope it comes in Guadalajara this week.

That "Olympic Stadium" is less than 50,000 in real capacity and isn't even being considered as the main stadium for the Lima bid. Monumental will be converted to a proper all seater stadium (terraces will be fitted with seats).

Bogoda altitude of 2,640 M is stressful for athletes and is harmful.

You're starting to sound like a broken record. You've mentioned that many many times. Do you have anything positive to say about Peru or Colombia? I'm from Toronto too, but that doesn't mean you have to put down the competition. You're not giving people from the nations of America a very good impression of Canadians. Sportsmanship? Friendliness? Respect for other countries?

Good luck to all the bidders. I'm sure whom ever wins tomorrow will do a great job hosting the 42 nations of America in 2015!
