Rendez-Vous With Sports

THE 1^st World Outgames Montréal 2006 Sports Programme will be an exciting display of athletic achievement, catering to all levels of ability. Competitions will be spread out over seven days, making extensive use of world-class athletic facilities originally built for the Games of the XXI Olympiad in 1976 and exceptionally maintained ever since.

To ensure that the Outgames run smoothly, participants will have ready access to all venues with a minimal amount of travel time between sites. The map shown illustrates the major zones that will serve as the venues for all activities. Strategically selected for their convenience and utility, all zones are located within a maximum of 7.5 kilometres (5 miles) from the Gay Village, the heart of the GLBT community of Montréal.

The majority of all sites are easily accessible by métro (subway) and are within 20 minutes of the Village, thus ensuring maximum attendance at all competitions, exhibitions and shows. Indeed, these installations are choice locations for all athletic, cultural and conference activities. Sport participants can register beginning June 2004 — but hurry to register! Team sports, such as swimming, soccer, softball, volleyball, and rowing, to mention just a few, will fill up quickly!
