PAN AM GAMES SECRETARiAT WANTS You To “EMBRACE THE SPiRiT” oF THE ToRoNTo 2015 PAN AM/PARAPAN AM GAMES! Last week the Pan Am Games Secretariat picked “Embrace the Spirit” as the theme of the games for the Host First Nation. One of several possible themes, Chief Bryan LaForme quickly saw this as the one that best exemplified Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation’s participation in the 41 country sporting event. “When I think of Embrace the Spirit, I think – games and culture/spirituality.” MNCFN Executive Assistant Debbie Aaron also commented, “The first thing that came to mind last week when the Chief & I were talking was: Respect, Strength and Humility. My husband is a traditional ojibway teacher and the above are 3 of his teachings. There, these words embody traditional teachings and are also universal to mankind – and could easily apply to the games.”
Scotiabank is proud to provide an opportunity for the Youth of the Mississaugas of The New Credit First Nation to attend the 2015 Pan Am/ Parapan Am Games.

The Pan Am flame has officially begun its
journey across Canada! The flame began
its journey in Teotihuacan, Mexico at the
Pyramid of the Sun. The ceremony featured
an ancient ceremonial lighting of the torch
by the Aztecs, and included a passing of the
torch to the official Canadian representatives
to begin it’s travel to the Toronto 2015 Pan
Am/Parapan Am Games.
Toronto 2015 representatives, the Mexico
Olympic Committee and various consulate
members and dignitaries were in attendance
at the ceremony to officially light the Pan
Am torch and to signify the beginning of
the torch relay. Mississaugas of the New
Credit First Nation Chief Bryan LaForme,
and Elder Garry Sault, were in attendance to
participate in the flame lighting ceremony
and to represent the official host first nation
of the Toronto 2015 games.
Over the next 41 days after the official
arrival to Canada on May 30th, the torch
will visit over 130 communities across
Canada. The majority of stops are scheduled
to be in Ontario but Montreal, QC; Calgary,
AB; Richmond, BC; and Winnipeg, MB, will
also receive the flame. The final stop of the
torch will be in Toronto on Day 41 and will
mark the official opening of the Toronto
2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games on July
10th. The Canadian Press Images PHOTO/TO2015

MiSSiSSAuGAS oF THE NEW CREDiT ATTEND DAY 1 ToRCH ARRivAL CELEBRATioN!On Saturday May 30th, Mississaugas of the New Credit Chief
and Council, community members and Pan Am Games
Secretariat staff travelled to Harbourfront Centre located in
downtown Toronto to officially welcome the Pan Am torch to
Canada!
The torch was flown from Mexico to Harbourfront Centre
in Toronto where it was met by canoes filled with members
of all four represented first nations to accept the flame to the
Mississaugas traditional territory. Members of Six Nations of
the Grand River, Metis Nation of Ontario and Huron-Wendat
were also present to welcome the Pan Am torch to the shores of
Toronto.
Chief Bryan LaForme was the first representative to accept the
torch to Canada and to the Mississaugas of the New Credit
First Nation traditional territory. Chief LaForme opened the
ceremony with a speech and encouraged all to embrace the
spirit of the games. “As chief of the Mississaugas I welcome you
to our traditional lands for sport, and an opportunity to forge
closer relationships among all 41 countries. The Mississauagas
of the New Credit First Nation has a theme for these games…
‘Embrace the Spirit’. Embrace the Spirit of health competition,
and embrace the spirit of kinship with each other and our ties
to the earth.”
Following the ceremony at Harbourfront Centre, the torch
relay began with twenty official Toronto 2015 torchbearers
transporting the torch to the Distillery District. Celebrations
continued as the torch was met by Col. Chris Hadfield, and
was welcomed with music and entertainment despite the rainy
weather conditions. Over the next 40 days the torch will travel
5,000+ KM throughout Canada and will be welcomed by 130
communities.
