Dear Toronto Pearson Passenger,

Its o cially summertime in the city. That means Toronto is abuzz with activity as everyone ventures out to enjoy all that our city has to o er.The same goes for us at Toronto Pearson.

Weve already had a busy season with the June launch of UP Expressa new train service that links Toronto Pearson with Union Station in just 25 minutes. As an international hub airport, we know how important connectivity is to our passengers and were excited that they now have a fast, convenient, reliableand directconnection to the downtown core. Taking a look inside our walls, weve also

racked up some great wins over the past few months when it comes to new o erings in our terminals. To the delight of our foodie fans, we recently partnered with some of Canadas top chefs to further elevate the culinary experi-ence at Toronto Pearson. Passengers can now enjoy The Hearth by Lynn Crawford and Lees Kitchen by Susur Lee, both in Terminal 1.Finally, summer in Toronto this year is all

about the Pan Am/Parapan Am Games, and Toronto Pearson is proud to play its part. As

the o cial welcome partner of the Games, were excited to receive the 10,000 athletes, coaches and o cials who will be arriving at our airport for the Gamesand lets not forget all the family members and spectators who will be in tow. Toronto Pearson will provide the backdrop for their fi rst experience of our beautiful city, and we are ready to make it a memorable one.Whether youre starting or ending your

journey at Toronto Pearson we want it to feel like home. Were working hard to make our airport a place where passengers can experi-ence the best of Torontoeven if its just for a short time.Wishing you a summer to remember.

Bon voyage,Howard Eng President and CEO

With cars lined up grille to tail, in long orderly rows, the taxi and limo compound at YYZ looks like a Mies van der Rohe vision of symmetry. Known formally as the Commercial Vehicle Holding Area (above), its actually a way sta-tion that sees more than 2,500 airport limos and 3,500 taxis pass through each day. Every one of them carries a transponder that logs the car into an automatic vehicle inventory system.

As soon as the wheels hit the perimeter of the compound, drivers are corralled into a queueone for taxis, one for limosand wait to be dis-patched to a terminal to ferry travellers to their next destination. More than 120 sta members maintain order by precisely routing the right cars to their spots and then to the curb, while passengers remain blissfully oblivious to the behind-the-scenes manoeuvrings.

DOWN TO THE LAST LAPThis duo has been training for months to make sure athletes dont sweat it at the airportBY PAUL GALLANT

I N S I D E R

When approximately 10,000 athletes, coaches, o cials and media arrive in Toronto for the 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games, most of them will pass through Toronto Pearson. Getting so many peopleand their equipment and entourag-esfrom their arrival fl ights to the Games venues and then, after the competition, back to their outbound fl ights, takes tremendous speed, agility and endurance. Airport sta , government o cials and hundreds of volunteers must work in harmony to welcome participants, help them clear

Customs, get accredited, manage oversized baggage and get on the buses that will take them to the athletes villageas seamlessly as possible. Toronto Pearsons Magda Swiezawski, senior represen-tative of airline programs, and Robert Matas, manager of service delivery, above, have been working on a logistics plan that ensures nobody breaks a sweat.

How long have you been working to make this happen?Magda: I started on the project

a year and a half ago. We did all the preplanning, coming up with the o ce spaces, the pickup locations and the fl ow of passengers. Rob got involved at the beginning of this year.Rob: I was brought in to execute and deliver on the plan. Im connecting all the stakeholders together to ensure the plans are success-ful and fl awlessly executed.

What kind of details do you have to wrestle with?Magda: We can only accom-modate a couple of buses at the curb at a time. All the other buses and equipment trucks need a place to stage close to the terminal so they can pull up on demand. We have to make sure the staging spaces are big enough and that theyre outfi tted with electri-cal, as well as a rest area for the drivers. It seems so simple, but there are many, many moving parts.

Managing all the sports equipment must be tricky. At least theyre not bringing their own weights.Rob: Were looking at lots of oversized equipment that we dont see on a daily basis, like javelins, vaulting poles, canoes, kayaks, archery equipment and bikes. Ive been here 12 years and I cant tell you the last time I saw a javelin come through the airport. This will be managed by having additional sta on site. We have also purchased new oversized carts.Magda: And they also bring their own massage tables and cooling fans, believe it or not.

How will you know if your e orts were successful?Rob: If its easy and stress-free for the athletes, its a success for us. The stress should be when theyre competing.

Hes lived in Toronto since 1978, but Susur Lee has always been a global chef. A pioneer of Asian-fusion cooking, hes been named one of Food & Wine magazines top 10 chefs of the millennium. Hes opened restaurants in Singapore and New York City. This summer he launches Lee Kitchen at Toronto Pearson, featuring greatest hits from his other restau-rants (notably Lee, a French-Asian mashup,

and Luckee, with its classic Chinese menu). The space marries commuter comfort and high design with a charming dim sum stationand enormous hand-painted and tiled murals. Unlike Lees other restaurants, this one will also be open for breakfast and lunch.

Viva Sport, an exhibition at Toronto Pearson Airports Malton Gallery (T1, above the Arrivals area), celebrates some of the more extremeand oddballsports in action at this summers Games, from roller fi gure skating to full contact wheelchair rugby. (Until Sept. 14)

From community ice rinks to Vancouvers ports, an installation featuring six Canadian photographers explores their

visions of the Canadian identity. The series of large-scale photographs is on display on the walk to Gates B1-5 in T3. The photographers featured in the ongoing show include Tobi Asmoucha (Toronto), Aislinn Leggett (Montreal), Gaye Jackson (Toronto), Greg Girard (Vancouver), Maureen OConnor (Toronto) and Jason Brown (Toronto). (Until June 2016)

Mtis artist Christi Belcourt and Inuit artist Ningeokuluk Teevee offer contemporary takes on the land and traditions of their people in a series of stunning works on display at Gate B1 in T3. (Until Nov. 16)

2 ART IN THE CITYWhen Mount Vesuvius erupted in theyear AD 79, an entire civilization wasburied under layers of obsidian and ash. Approximately 1,700 years later, archaeologists unearthed a trove ofartifacts from the detritus.

New Orleans. A decade later, in Katrina, lauded journalist Gary Rivlin (The Nation, the New York Times) traces the lasting effects of that natural disaster on both the people and the landscape of the region. (Simon & Schuster, August 11)

4 FICTIONPart Atonement, part Jane Austen, The Dust That Falls From Dreams is a sweeping tale of three sisters coming of age in the English countryside during the Edwardian era, by Louis de Bernires (the British author of Captain Corellis Mandolin). At the heart of the novel is a fraught love triangle, framed in the chaos

and romance of the First World War. (Knopf Canada, August 4)

A campy send-up of made-for-TV disaster fl icks, the original Sharknado starred a constellation of C-list stars (American Pies Tara Reid! 90210s Ian Ziering!) struggling to survive a deadly storm in which man-eating sharks fall from the skies. The second sequel, Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! is set in Florida and features a David Hasselhoff cameo, but the core concept remains the same. (SyFy, July 22)

FEW PLACES ON EARTH pack as much natural beauty and diversity into as small a space as New Zealand. Only 1,600 kilometres long, from tip to tail, the island nation is home to active volcanoes, glaciers, mountains, forests and beautiful beaches. No wonder then that triathlona sport in which participants swim, run and cycle in a single racehas fl ourished midst the countrys rugged terrain and soul-stirring vistas. Andrew Yorke fi rst visited New Zealand in 2012 to race in the Elite

World Championships. By that point, the Caledon, Ont., native had been a triathlete for a decade, having run his fi rst race at the age of 13 (along-side his dad, who was also competing in his fi rst race).

During his race through Auckland he was supported by thousands of avid triathlon fans whod gathered along the main drag, Queen Street, to watch the compe-tition.

AT AN AGE when most kids are still trying to master the whip kick, Kevin Graham was already on his way to becoming a water polo star. A member of the Regina Squids (now the Regina Armada) at age eight, his size and speed were undeniably prodigious, and his left-handedness a particular asset. I was a water baby, Graham says, matter-of-factly. Now, in Hungary, the world capital of water polo, the captain of Canadas national team barely ever leaves the pool. Travel was one of the fi rst things that drew Graham to water polo.

There arent a lot of clubs in Canada, and being on a team meant long, fun road trips to Calgary and Winnipeg. When he started playing

SINCE SHE MOVED TO GERMANY fi ve years ago, wheelchair basketball star Janet McLachlan has seen a lot of the country. Or rather, shes seen a lot of one part of the country. McLachlan lives in the town of Giessen, just north of Frankfurt. But she plays for the Dolphins, a semi-profes-sional co-ed team in Trier, more than 200 kilometres southwest of her home base. In her Audi A3, the commute takes about two hours, and she does it four days a week.Long a serious athlete, McLachlan played basketball at the University

of Victoria before moving into rugby. That career was cut short by a serious knee injury she sustained while playing for the B.C. provincial

So it was that all over again, but with a whole new set of challenges.In 2008, McLachlan, classifi ed minimally disabled after her knee

Since then, her ascent has been strato-sphericshe helped the University of Alabamas Crimson Tide take back-to-back championships, and in 2010, joined the Dolphins, quickly becoming one of the squads all-stars.

BEFORE SHE BEGAN HER MASTERS DEGREE last September, Vanessa Lee spent six hours a day, six days a week, shooting arrows at a loonie-size target from 70 metres out. A punishing schedule, to be sure, but imperative in the world of archery. Finding the time to practise while studying full-time, however, is a whole other challenge. So, now, when Lee cant get to the archery range, she trains in her dorm room late at night, practising her draw in front of a mirror or, somewhat surrepti-tiously, shooting at a target shes set up in the pocket-size space. The arrows hit very fast, she says with a laugh. But no damage yet.Lee was 15 when she fi rst picked up a bow. Inspired by South Korean

In 2014, determined to live and train in Europe, the number one whitewater paddler in Canada sunk his savings into a camper van that he built from scratch in just four days. Since then, the Hobbit Vanso nicknamed for its whimsical, compact designhas been Haywards home, transportation and sponsor-ship vehicle.The Hobbit Van is currently parked at a free campground in Pau,

Hayward trains here two or three times a day, both on and o its man-made whitewater course. Water workouts are typically an hour-and-a-half each, during which Hayward will practise race simulations or do technique sessions, perfecting his attack on a small portion of the course. Paus beauty and facilities aside, the real reason Hayward has parked

his Hobbit Van here is to test himself. Here, there are about 30 people at my level pushing me, Hayward says. In Canada, theres just one.

Now it also has one of Torontos best chefs: Alex Molitz, formerly of Farmhouse Tavern, dishes up elegant belle poque bistro food like duck confi t croquettes and oysters Rockefeller. 1564 Queen St. W., geraldinetoronto.com

2 FOR COFFEE AND CROISSANTSThe Tempered Room The Paris-born, Gandalf-bearded baker Bertrand Alpe created pastries at two Michelin-starred restaurants before opening

his pretty Parkdale patisserie. The display case holds a rainbow assort-ment of confections and obscenely good croissants. 1374 Queen St. W., thetemperedroom.com

3 FOR MICROBREWSDuggans BreweryBeer master (and Mill Street Brewery co-founder) Mike Duggans brewpub offers his wildly popular, supremely malty No. 9 IPA, and creative recipes like No. 5 Sorachi, a light beer made with fl aked rice, barley and Japanese Sorachi hops. 1346 Queen St. W., duggansbreweryparkdale.com

4 FOR MIDNIGHT SNACKSBar FancyJonathan Poon, known for whipping up complex Asian fusion down the street at Chantecler, has opened a casual cocktail bar. Instead of convoluted

concoctions, he serves stiff, simple drinks on demand, and instead of fancy plates, he cooks the citys best fried chicken: each order brings four plump pieces wrapped in a sweet-spicy-salty fi ve-spiced batter, accompanied by Wonder Bread and sour dill pickles. 1070 Queen St. W., barfancy.ca

5 FOR LETTING OFF STEAMBig Hit StudiosTorontos newest gym ditches dusty punching bags for plastic manne-quins perched on pedestals.

6 FOR SPECIAL SUSHIYasuNot long ago, Torontos sushi scene was a fl avourless procession of sloppy maki rolls. Now the city is fl ush with artful omakase restaurants that treat each course with impeccable care. Our pick is Yasu, a secret cubby on the Harbord strip that only seats 12 at a time.

But its worth the risk to sample his PLB melt, an oozing pile of bacon, sausage, pickles, fried eggs and cherry jam; or the patty melt, a holy mess of house-ground chuck smushed into a grilled cheese sandwich. Wash it down with a cheesecake milkshake.176 Dupont St., roseandsons.ca

out of Cape Cod, housed in a clean white cottage off Yonge Street. Inside, youll fi nd all manner of pured wellness elixirs, including a savoury blended salad of kale, collards, chard, celery, sprouts and cucumber called The Giver. For those looking to expunge, the shop also offers single-day cleansing regimens. 5 Macpherson Ave., greenhousejuice.com

9 FOR THE VIEWThe One EightyThe chic new lounge onthe 51st fl oor of the Manulife Centre specializes in craft cocktails (like the herbaceous Rosemary Bramble, with small-batch gin, rosemary, ginger, blackberries, lemon and soda) and fancy fi nger foods (like halibut tacos with pico de gallo and Sriracha sour cream). The vertiginous view of the downtown skyline turns all those soulless condos into shimmering jewels. 55 Bloor St. W., the51stfl oor.com

10 FOR A RUNRosedale Ravine TrailToronto has 600 kilometres of trails; the most varied in scenery is an eight-kilometre loop through the leafy, mansion-packed neighbourhood of Rosedale. The Rosedale Ravine Trail starts near Yonge and St. Clair and goes off-road through a woodland of 150-year-old trees. At the north end, ambitious runners can connect to the old railway Beltline Trail and emerge near the Davisville subway station. ontariotrails.on.ca/trails/view/rosedale-ravine-trail

STAR/GETTY

There may not have been a parade to meet Canadian Club when he strode through Toronto International Airport on August 10, 1970, but the stallion deserved a heros welcome. The previous month, the horse had won gold in jumping at the World Championships in La Baule, Francejust the latest in a series of victories for the young thoroughbred and his rider, Jim Day. Day and his horse had sailed to glory at the 1967 Pan Am Games in Winnipeg, an achievement that set the stage for their gold-medal win at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico. By the time Canadian Club

touched down in Toronto, greeted by Days young daughter, Katherine May, who sat excitedly in the arms of the trainer, Carol Shoobridge, he was one of the top international equines. Two years later, an injury would end his career, but in 1970, the horses future was solid gold.
