The excitement is building! Starting on July 10th, thousands of athletes and their fans will be converging in Toronto, first for the Pan Am Games and then the Parapan Am Games. Niagara will be hosting events at two locations. There are high hopes that these events – and the games in general – will bring great benefits to Niagara. Here to discuss the impacts of the Pan Am Games on Niagara are Julie Stevens, sport management associate professor and director of the Centre for Sport Capacity at Brock University, Chris Charelbois, Business Development and Operations director with the Niagara Sport Commission, and Shannon Kerwin, assistant professor in the Department of Sport Management at Brock University.
