One Team Golden Partnerships A NEWSLETTER FOR OUR DONORS | ISSUE 8 | SEPT 2015 TORONTO 2015 PAN AM GAMES ONE TEAM + GOLDEN PARTNERSHIPS The Toronto 2015 Pan American Games have come to a close, but the memories and legacy they helped build will survive for generations to come. Our athletes won 217 medals, fantastic new facilities were constructed and countless Canadian youth were inspired to achieve their dreams. Speaking for our team here at the COF, we were all inspired to become more active, to try harder and to show our Canadian spirit! Our donors helped make all of this possible. Your donations help support Games preparation. These funds are used to take care of our athletes during the Games and power the dreams of youth who are working hard to become the next generation of Canadian Winston Chow/COC Olympians. Thank you so much for your generous contributions. Our Pan Am athletes are continuing their hard work and training in preparation for the Olympic Games in Rio next summer. Many FROM OUR of the athletes on the Pam Am team travelled directly from the EXECUTIVE Pan Am Games in Toronto to other competitions around the world. Though the Pan Am Games were just one stop on the road to Rio, DIRECTOR all of the athletes were thrilled to compete on home soil. TO2015 multi-medallist Ellie Black (artistic gymnastics) said “having the whole of Canada behind me feels amazing” and BMX cycling champion Tory Nyhaug said “to win this on home soil is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.” Thanks to the legacy projects and infrastructure from TO2015, Canada will be able to host more world championship competitions in the coming years. Another exciting development from the summer of 2015 – the Olympic rings officially installed atop 500 René-Lévesque Boulevard West in Montreal. The building at that address is the Canadian Olympic House, which serves as a resource for sport federations striving to build Olympians and World Champions, offers ample workspace, and is scheduled to host a sport science and technology centre. It is also the Montreal office for the Canadian Olympic Committee. To celebrate the raising of the rings, the COC welcomed International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach to Montreal and hosted a luncheon where $1.6 million was raised for the COF to support aspiring Olympians!! What an exciting time for Canadian sport on the international stage. We hope that you enjoy this edition of Strive.
