Toronto 2015 Parapan American Games | Toronto Sports Photography
The Toronto 2015 Parapan American Games were a showcase of determination, sportsmanship and appreciation.
Photographing the Parapan Am Games was truly gratifying. See below for just a small selection of memorable photos and moments. There were many occasions where I was in awe of the athletes who demonstrated a tremendous competitive spirit while at the same time showing genuine camaraderie with their opponents.
Canada did extremely well to earn the second most gold medals and total medals. I look forward to Team Canada carrying this momentum to Rio 2016 Paralympics.
