The countdown to the 2015 Pan Am Games in Ajax kicked off, today. The town’s been chosen as the host site for softball and baseball. And not only was it an exciting day in the Durham Region, communities across the province celebrated the official countdown.
I had the opportunity to work as the town’s photographer for the baseball-themed day at Sportsplex Park, located at Taunton Road and Audley Road. The morning’s event included a mural unveiling, a parade of nations, along with baseball clinics for kids. A number of local celebrities also stopped by, and they included: Jessica Tyler from Degrassi; Grey Cup winner Richard Karikari; singer Toya Alexis; and former MLB player Nigel Wilson.
It’s truly an exciting time for our town, and I am really looking forward to all the energy once the games start. The other celebration in the region was in Oshawa; they’ve been picked as the host community for boxing and weightlifting competitions at the Oshawa Boxing Centre (General Motors Centre).
How exciting for your town. You can definitely feel it in the photos. What an honor to work as the town’s photographer! Glad you shared. 🙂
Aw why thank you, RJ! I t was such an honour. I am really proud of the photos, too. But really, the day was great to take photos. Although, the sun was pretty harsh.
