A countdown clock was unveiled in Toronto this morning. Dignitaries were present as well as athletes for the unveiling.
Cirque du Soleil performers helped with the unveiling.
Mascot Pachi was on hand. Beside the countdown clock, there is an interactive oversized tablet.
I will have to go back to get a closer look.
The venue was beautiful with multiple playing fields for sports activities.
There is also a stage for performances and activities.
Just in case you are perceptive, yes, that is Rob Ford leaving after this photo op. It wouldn't be a Toronto event without a Rob Ford sighting.
The trampoline show was a highlight of the early afternoon activities with a very appreciative large crowd enjoying our national team members showing off their skills including 3-time Olympic medallist Karen Cockburn.
CIBC Team Next athlete Sam Sendel
Olympic silver medallist Jason Burnett

After the performances, the athletes signed autographs and posed for photos.
Synchro partners Rosie and Sam. Rosie is recovering from an injury and did not perform in case you're wondering why I don't have photos of Rosie in action.
Jason brought his Olympic medal to share with Olympic fans
