In the depths of the great depression, the City of Hamilton came together to host the Commonwealth Games, known at that time as the Empire Games.  From that project emerged Hamilton Civic Stadium, now Ivor Wynne – a visionary endeavor that has enabled Hamilton to build a reputation for sports excellence across Canada for the 76 years since its construction.

Hamilton has a similar opportunity available today.  Canada is aggressively pursuing the right to host the 2015 Pan American Games.
