I'm thrilled to see launch of the Team Toronto website, marking a significant milestone in the Team Toronto Organising Committee's work toward rebuilding Toronto's city-wide LGBT team. With the next three major multi-sport games to be held in North America, there is an unparalleled opportunity to expose our sport and recreation community to the thrill and excitment of participating in safe, welcoming, friendly, and inclusive competition with thousands of LGBT athletes from around the world! And the Team Toronto Organising Committee will be working hard to ensure that Team Toronto has the best experience possible! From spirit-building events to fundraising, working on logistics to arranging uniforms, OUTSPORT TORONTO, through its Team Toronto Organising Committee, is dedicated to fulfilling its mandate of co-ordinating its members' efforts to build Team Toronto.
Thanks go to Catherine Meade for her leadership and enthusiasm to bring the games experience to as many as possible, Paddy Murphy for his co-ordination and project management of our efforts to date, and the many other volunteers who have been working on this project since last year.
Team Toronto is for everyone, from athlete to recreational participant, regardless of your ability, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, race, creed, place of origin, or religion. Team Toronto welcomes all who are supportive of its and OUTSPORT TORONTO's values, and who want to be involved in some way. So join today, and be part of the team!
