I know copps is going to need a good chunk of capital repairs in the near future. In particular the roof is reaching the end of its useful life. Won't be cheap to do.
Mac has their own plans to replace their pool with an olympic size venue.
Im sure the City and Mac would love provincial and federal funds for those two venues.
Just not sure the cost of hosting the games is worth it.
Perhaps a Hamilton Halton Niagara group bid? Heck throw kitchener waterloo in as well. If toronto is included it wont be a true golden horsehoe bid.
Again, if they cost some astronomical cost its not worth it. The commonwealth games are slighlty smaller than the pan ams. 5000 athletes vs 6000 and 260 events vs 360 events.
