Toronto Latin-American and Toronto Hispanic Chamber of Commerce

Toronto Hispanic Chamber of Commerce: Some members of Toronto Latin-American and Caribbean communities say they've been largely left out of preparations for the Games, with only superficial efforts made to include them. Toronto Pan Am Games start 1-year countdown , according to CBC. "There is no buzz in the community, the community is not aware much of the Pan Am Games," said Manuel Rodriguez, president of the Toronto Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Hordes of athletes from the Americas and the Caribbean competing in next summer Pan Am and Parapan Games might find themselves without a cheering crowd of local supporters from their home countries, a community leader says. And with only a year to go before the opening ceremony the Games kick off July 10, 2015 they worry there isn't enough being done to drum up enthusiasm for an event that should have thousands rallying behind their compatriots.
