The Games bring indirect benefits too – people coming to Ontario and staying in hotels, seeing our great shows and attractions, dining in our fine restaurants and shopping in our stores.  People simply having a great time – and telling others, and returning.

Perhaps the nicest thing about playing host is that it gives Ontarians the chance not just to impress our visitors – which we will – but to inspire ourselves.

That’s the real legacy—we’ll be proud of Ontario for all it has and will continue to offer.
