Humber College will be promoting the TO2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games, which are being hosted in the GTA in July and August of 2015, with a kick-off celebration at the college’s North Campus on Thursday November 13.

Pan Am/Parapan Am Day is an initiative of the Sport Management program, which has added projects into its 2014/2015 curriculum that offer students the opportunity to gain practical experience in community outreach, event planning and execution in support of the TO2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games. The event enables students to connect with industry leaders, media, faculty and TO2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games executives.

Humber’s Pan Am/Parapan Am Day will celebrate sport and the cultures of the Americas which will include a variety of mini sport games and interactive activities, campus tours at the North Campus in the Concourse and Student Centre from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

The Sport Management students also plan to raise awareness and funds for the Canadian Olympic Foundation and the Canadian Paralympic Committee.
