"Toronto was chosen as host site over competitors Bogota, Colombia and Lima, Peru. The winning city's $1.4-billion (CAD) plan is built around a core of existing and proven world-class facilities used for professional sports, six new athletic venues and a well-designed, sustainable athlete's village on Toronto's waterfront.
