The Games mean investing in Ontario too, triggering a more than $700 million investment in new and upgraded sports and recreation facilities and a Legacy Fund. That's another reason why the Games have the support of five partners:
As well, the Games are being staged thanks to the commitment of an important network of municipalities across the Greater Golden Horseshoe region, three universities and the support of provincial sport and multi-sport organizations.
Thanks to this investment, our best athletes will be able to train and compete at home. And there's a legacy fund to ensure that investment in our future athletes and coaching continues beyond 2015.
Hosting the Games will also showcase to foreign businesses Ontario as an ideal location to invest in — creating opportunities to forge new relationships in trade and tourism that will contribute to Ontario's economic growth.
