Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre

Exciting morning at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre! We had the honour of welcoming Premier Doug Ford, who made an important announcement at our facility today.

THANK YOU, BOB! We extend our heartfelt thanks to Bob Singleton for his remarkable 10 years of leadership and dedication as he retires as the Managing Director of Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre (TPASC) Inc. Singleton’s commitment to excellence has not only maintained the centre as a world-class facility but has also fostered a vibrant community that promotes health, wellness, and athletic achievement. Singleton was appointed as the inaugural Managing Director and first employee of the corporation in 2014, tasked with building a team of staff to open the facility and build a legacy of the 2015 Toronto Pan and Parapan Am Games. The Centre hosted seven events at the 2015 games and has since established itself as a premier location for high performance and community sports competitions. Over the past decade, Singleton has expertly balanced the diverse needs of athletes, University of Toronto students, and Toronto community members, all while overseeing a team of over 300 full- and part-time staff. His visionary guidance and passion have made a lasting impact, and we are deeply grateful for his invaluable contributions. We wish him all the best in retirement! Singleton's last day is September 30, 2024.
