As the official automotive partner of the Toronto Pan and Parapan American Games, Chevrolet will provide 1,000 vehicles to be used by organisers and volunteers before and during the event. Chevrolet was also a logistical and transportation partner of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, but financial details of the new agreement have not been disclosed.
“Chevrolet shares our vision to create a better Ontario,” said Ian Troop, the CEO of the Toronto 2015 organising committee. “A focus on families, combined with a wealth of transportation experience and a reliable track record at multi-sport games, makes Chevrolet an ideal partner for the Toronto 2015 Games.” Chevrolet has 157 dealers in the Ontario region.
Kevin Williams, president and managing director of General Motors of Canada, Chevrolet Canada’s parent company, added: “The partnership with the Pan and Parapan Am Games allows Chevrolet to be part of an event that will inspire and engage a generation of Canadians. This major commitment is a natural extension of Chevrolet's long history of supporting Canadian athletes, from novice players experiencing the sport for the first time to elite athletes competing at the international level.”
