The downpour overwhelmed pumping stations in Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa causing toilets, showers and floor drains to overflow in some neighbourhoods. “The toilet was just overflowing, it was like a geyser,” said Whitby resident Sue Lytwyn. Ms. Lytwyn and her husband Bil fought the flow, eventually opening the door of their walkout basement so the water could flow out. For the Annes Street residents, this was Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo the third flood in eight years.

    NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release Office of the Premier 2010PREM0161-001090 Ministry of Healthy Living and Sport Sept. 18, 2010 82 B.C. ATHLETES HEADING TO 2010 COMMONWEALTH GAMES VICTORIA – Eighty-two B.C. athletes will be competing against other world-class athletes at the upcoming 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India, announced Premier Gordon Campbell. “I’d like to congratulate all the B.C. athletes who have been named to Team Canada. I know they will be great ambassadors for our province and country, and all Canadians will be cheering them on to build upon the success of our athletes from the 2010 Games,” said Premier Campbell. “The Commonwealth Games are a celebration of how sport can bring many different nations together into a single community. It is an incredible event that has great significance to British Columbia as a former host province.” The Games will take place Oct. 3-14 and will feature more than 4,000 world-class athletes from 71 Commonwealth nations and territories, competing in 17 different sports. Canada finished third overall at the 2006 Games in Melbourne, Australia, where B.C. athletes made up 40 per cent of the Canadian team and won 25 medals – 30 per cent of the Canadian total. This year, Canada will send a highly competitive team of approximately 350 athletes and coaches to the Games. B.C. athletes make up 32 per cent of this year’s Canadian team. “This large contingent of B.C. athletes on the Canadian team once again demonstrates the strength of B.C.’s sport system and the quality of development and training opportunities for high-performance athletes here,” said Ida Chong, Minister of Healthy Living and Sport.

    The Government wants to highlight the important role that sport plays in our country. The Commonwealth Games help strengthen our reputation as a leading sport nation. They also allow us to join together and cheer on our athletes as they compete against the world’s best. Our government is proud to support the Commonwealth Games Association of Canada and the athletes who make up Team Canada. Our athletes truly embody the Commonwealth Games’ values of humanity, equality and destiny. Along with Canadians from coast to coast to coast, we congratulate them on their remarkable achievements and celebrate their contributions to the world of sport. We stand behind our athletes every step of the way because they are a great source of inspiration for us all. As Minister of Science and Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities, I would like to thank the organizers and volunteers, as well as the people of Gold Coast, Queensland and Australia, for hosting these Games and welcoming the members of the Commonwealth family. Best wishes to everyone taking part! The Honourable Kirsty Duncan Welcome to Gold Coast, Australia! It’s an honour and privilege to serve as Canada’s Chef de Mission here in beautiful Gold Coast. I have been a fan of the Commonwealth Games since I was a child growing up in Montreal, watching the Games and cheering on the athletes with my family. I delayed my own retirement from sport in order to compete at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, and it was well worth the wait – a memorable experience that solidified my appreciation for this unique sport movement.
