The final countdown to Toronto 2015 begins with CIBC Pan Am Day on Saturday, June 13th, when the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) will announce the Canadian athletes on the Pan American Games teams for all sports. Equine Canada will release an official statement announcing the dressage, eventing and show jumping teams soon after.
