The 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games

/in /by

The 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games will be the largest international multi-sport event ever hosted in Canada — with more athletes and sports than the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. More than 20,000 volunteers will be the backbone, the ambassadors and the heart of the Games — from ushering spectators to their seats, to getting up close and personal with some of the world’s best athletes and artists.

Exciting volunteer positions are available in 16 Ontario municipalities, from Welland to Minden Hills, Hamilton to Oshawa. Volunteers will prepare the field of play for athletes, work as medical staff and take active roles in protocol, accreditation, press operations, Opening and Closing Ceremonies and much more. Rather than watch competitions on a screen or from the stands, people from the Greater Golden Horseshoe region have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be a part of the action!

The National Club

“The National Club was founded seven years after Confederation, as a home for the Canada First Party.”  Housed originally near the former site of the Toronto Stock Exchange, the club moved to 303 Bay Street in 1907.  “The National Club remains a favourite downtown meeting place for Canada’s business and political leaders.” BeSocial events had a wonderful experience, very elegant venue with a wonderful, friendly and professional staff.
