Pan Am Games coming to Toronto. 2015

I watched the news yesterday and found out that Toronto won the right to host the 2015 Pan American Games. It is a nice thing for them because I remember back in 2003 when they bid to host the 2008 summer Olympics but instead Beijing got them instead. The games will cost Toronto 1.4 Billion to host plus they have to pay another 1 Billion to build the athletes villiage. Some people think the money could be spent much better like such as trying to get people back on track after this financial crisis. I think in the end it will pay off because the attention will once again be on Canada after the 2010 winter Olympics. The athletes village will then become apartment complexs and the tourists will give money to the Toronto economy. I cannot wait for this event to happen.
