Que Special Events Staffing for Toronto 2015 Pan Am & Parapan Am Games!

The highly anticipated Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games are here – Team Tigris, get ready for some special events staffing! This year, Toronto is the proud Host City of the games, so be prepared folks – it’s about to get crazy around here! Whether it be the infamous HOV lanes or the thousands of tourists visiting our beautiful city, there’s no denying that the Toronto 2015 Pan Am games are a HUGE deal! The Pan Am games will be taking place from July 10 to 26 while the Parapan Am games will be from August 7 to 15, and there will be TONS of special events staffing working throughout.

So, what exactly are the Pan Am Games all about? The Pan American Games are the world’s third largest international multi-sport games; they are only surpassed in size and scope by the Olympic Summer Games and the Asian Games. The first Pan Am Games were held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1951 and the inaugural Parapan American Games were held in Mexico City in 1999. Both the Pan Am and Parapan Am Games are held every four years for the athletes of the 41 PASO member nations, in the year preceding the Olympic and Paralympic Summer Games. While the Pan Am Games have been hosted in a dozen countries throughout the Americas, Canada has had the honor of hosting them three times; in 1967 and 1999 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and this year, 2015, in Toronto, Ontario.

From archery to wrestling, the Pan Am Games host 36 various sports, while the Parapan Am Games host 15! Close to 7,000 athletes from across Latin America, South America, the Caribbean and North America will be taking part in these various sporting competitions to fight for the gold at the Toronto 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games.

As you’ve probably pieced together by now, the Toronto 2015 Games will involve municipalities stretching from Oshawa to Welland. During the span of the Games, various events will be taking place to promote and celebrate it. Since the Games are so huge, there is an expected 20, 000 volunteers along with special event staffing for everything going on!
