As Toronto prepares for Pam Am Games, some critics decry huge budgets
In just three years time, Toronto will play host to the Pan Am Games — a sort of mini Olympics. Putting the thing on will cost more than C$1 billion in new facilities and infrastructure, but it’s only projected to bring in a few hundred million in revenue. Proponents say the facilities will get a life-time of use. Critics say these specific facilities won’t.
