TORONTO — Canadians will get a glimpse today of what the country's athletes will wear on home soil at this summer's Pan Am and Parapan Am Games.

Official outfitter Hudson's Bay Co. will debut the clothing for the Canadian contingent at an event in downtown Toronto.

Canada is fielding its largest-ever Pan Am Games team of 700 athletes and has set a goal of finishing second in the medals — behind the U.S. — with 160.

Some 6,600 athletes from 41 countries will compete in 36 Pan Am sports — including 28 Olympic sports — plus 15 Parapan Am sports.

Toronto and the surrounding area will play host to the Pan Ams from July 10-26.

The Aug. 7-14 Parapan Am Games open in exactly 100 days.
