Sales rep Stuart Gass of Re/Max First in Pickering, Ont. caught the spirit of the recent Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto in a big way, serving as a volunteer for 14 shifts during the games.

He was a team leader for venue management, with responsibility for a team of eight to 10 volunteers at CIBC Pan Am Park at Exhibition Place.

During the games he served as a ticket taker, crowd control marshal, usher and restricted access control monitor.

Games held on the site included indoor volleyball, racquetball, squash, handball and roller skate figure skating. It was also the site of the International Broadcast Centre.

“During breaks and down time, I traded and gave away pins to athletes and spectators from all around the world,” says Gass.

“Prior to the games, I was also chosen to be a TO2015 Torch Relay Runner. I completed my run in East Toronto on July 6.”
