Information
AccreditationAccreditation is the process of identifying individuals and their role(s) at the Pan Am Games, and ensuring they are granted the appropriate access to fulfil their role(s). The role of the NOC is to register, appropriately, every potential athlete, official, dignitary and press person from its territory.
Applications for accreditation must be received by TO2015 no later than March 27, 2015, in order for NOCs to receive the pre-valid cards (PVCs) before the delegations departure for the Games.
Eligibility Condition Forms As required by the PASO statute, each athlete and team official must complete an eligibility condition form acknowledging his or her compliance with Games objectives and goals regarding participation in the Games. The form is mandatory and must be signed by participating athletes and officials before their arrival at the Games, in order for their accreditation to be validated.
Pre-valid CardsBy May 30, 2015, and following the data verification and the pre-DRMs, TO2015 will produce and send out PVCs to each NOC. NOCs will be responsible for distributing the PVCs to their delegation members before they travel to Toronto.
The PVC, along with a valid passport, will serve as an official entry document to Canada. Individuals will be able to enter Canada using this process from May 11, 2015 to August 25, 2015, at 11:59 p.m., for a period of stay no longer than six months from first entry. No additional entry visas will be required during this period. The PVC will be valid for multiple entries, provided it is accompanied on each occasion by a valid passport.
Accreditation Card ValidationAfter the DRM has been completed, eligible delegation members will be able to validate their PVCs, which will provide access to the CIBC Pan Am/Parapan Am Athletes Village, once the village opens on July 5, 2015. It can also be used to access other official competition and non-competition venues, as determined during the DRM. Only once the PVC is validated does it become an official Pan Am identity and accreditation card (PIAC).
Upon arrival in Toronto, delegation members holding PVCs can have their cards validated (providing the DRM is complete) at one of the accreditation centres, to gain access to Pan Am venues and the CIBC Pan Am Athletes Village.

TO2015 is planning for a resident experience that will reflect an average athlete-to-bathroom ratio below 4:1.
Resident Services There will be five residential blocks with one resident centre in each, located throughout the Athletes Village. Four resident centres will operate 07:0023:00 and one will be open 24 hours a day. The resident centres will cater to all the accommodation needs of the NOCs and Village residents. Each resident centre will provide hotel-like front desk service, which will assist with the resolution of issues relating to Village accommodation services.
Main Dining Hall The main dining hall will be located adjacent to the Canary Building in the residential zone and will operate on a 24-hour basis. A diverse range of ethnic and cultural food options will be available. Menus are being developed in consultation with caterers and sport nutritionists and will be published in early 2015. Additional dining options will include a Village Plaza caf and grab-and-go items, refreshments and various cuisines that will reflect some of the diverse neighborhoods of Toronto.
Athlete Venue Meals Athlete venue meals (AVMs) will be available for athletes and officials who will be away from the Village for competition and training for more than five hours. AVMs must be ordered from the catering desk 48 hours in advance. The meals will be prepared at the venue for collection from the athlete lounge. AVMs will be available from July 1 to 26, 2015.
NOC Services Centre The NOC Services Centre will be located in the Athletes Village residential zone, situated centrally to facilitate communication and coordinate issue resolution between TO2015 and the NOCs. Services available at the front desk will include mail distribution, reservation of bookable meeting rooms, and distribution of participation certificates and medal boxes. Arrivals and departures, transport, logistics and rate card will also have desks in the NOC Services Centre.
Resident Entertainment and RecreationAn athlete lounge, DVD lounge, Internet caf and Games room will be available to Village residents.
Fitness Centre The Athletes Village will feature recreational sports facilities for general use.

TECHNICAL MANUAL
There will also be plenty of safe places for running within the Village, including an 18-acre park with paved trails, located east of the accommodation blocks and within the security perimeter. The Fitness Centre will operate 24 hours a day, but will only be supervised between 06:00 and 22:00, except when temporarily closed for cleaning or maintenance.
Village Plaza The Village Plaza will be comprised of a number of retail outlets and services. TO2015 will design this area as a significant focal point of the Village to attract both residents and visitors alike. The Plaza will act as an interface with athletes, guests and media, enabling this interaction without needing to enter the residential zone. The Plaza will include a user-pay caf, which can also act as a casual meeting place. All team Welcome Ceremonies will take place in the Village Plaza.
