Summary
In July 2013 City Council endorsed an investment of up to $20 million in a 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games Host City Showcase Program (“Showcase Program”) to enhance the experience of the TORONTO 2015 Games for participants and residents, and to advance the City's economic development and tourism, sport development and healthy living, and resident engagement and cultural celebration goals.
Final approval and funding for the Showcase Program– including $2.500 million for a cultural celebration; $2.700 million to support Games related marketing, communication and enhanced visitor services activities; and $13.898 million for 28 innovative projects – was confirmed through Council’s adoption of the 2014 Operating and Capital Budgets.
This report supports and advises on the implementation of certain Showcase Program initiatives by (i) seeking additional funding of $1.000 million for the first phase of the Prince Edward Viaduct Illumination project; (ii) requesting authority to proceed with a 150 day Host City Street Banner campaign; (iii) recommending that the $1.76 million earmarked for the Pan Am Community Projects initiative be divided among three complementary grant streams; (iv) describing features of the Toronto Sports Hall of Honour initiative; and (v) reporting on, respectively, efforts by City officials to secure sponsorships to offset Showcase Program costs and to ensure that Games related cultural activities are equitably distributed across Toronto.
