"That's just like... your opinion, man."


Stephane Dumas

QuoteIn the history of the Pan-American games (the Americas' regional olympics), Canada hosted 3 of them (1967 and 1999 in Winnipeg, and Toronto in 2015), 3 in Mexico (Guadalajara in 2011), 2 in the US (Chicago and Indianapolis), one in Puerto Rico, despite being US territory in 1979, Havana, Cuba in 1991 (the US team went there?) and the first ever in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1951. The next Pan-American games is in Lima, Peru (2019), while Buenos Aires is bidding, Los Angeles (2024 IOC summer bidder) seeks the 2023 bid and so does Rio de Janiero (held it in 2007 and 2016 IOC summer olympics host). Note the 1963 Pan-American games were in held in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Also, Canada hosted 4 times the Commonwealth games (formely known as British Empire games) in 1930 (Hamilton), 1954(Vancouver), 1978(Edmonton) and 1994(Victoria, BC) and Kingston, Jamaica hosted the 1966 Commonwealth games. Australia has hosted four Commonwealth Games (1938, 1962, 1982, 2006) and will host for the fifth time in 2018.
