N1 - Funding Information:
involves the passion, competence, and hard work of many people. Administration, procurement, selecting mesonet sites, negotiating contracts, modifying operational procedures and processes, technology transfer to operations, and communicating the use of the new products are all significant challenges. It is estimated that over 350 people were involved in the PA15 project. The original proposal team consisted of operational and research staff and included Pat King, Sarah Wong, Ron Lee, and the lead author. Tsoi Yip was the driver behind the ECPASS concept. The informatics support from Delroy Barrett (operational data processing and management) and Dennis Wintjes (PA15 informatics infrastructure) was extraordinary. We would also like to recognize the cooperation of the MOECC, TRCA, GRCA, UOIT, Toronto Pubic Health, Ryerson University, the Toronto Port Authority, the PA15 Sailing Organizers, and the National Weather Service. The collaboration with Dave Steenbergen, vice-commodore for the PA15 sailing competition, was key in deploying the boat sensors. Thanks to Steve Goodman for arranging rapid-scan GOES data. Wiechers and Voogt were funded by an NSERC Discovery Grant (194105) awarded to J. A. Voogt.

N2 - Environment and Climate Change Canada showcased its research, development, and service initiatives in meteorology, air quality, and health during the Pan and Parapan American Games in 2015. he Pan and Parapan American Games (PA15) were hosted in the Toronto, Canada, area from 10 to 26 July and 7 to 15 August 2015 and were the third-largest sporting event in the world. They include many sports that are considered for future inclusion at Olympic competitions. A strategic insight was to exploit the prestige and firm deadlines of major events, such as PA15, to accelerate, coordinate, and demonstrate research and operational development projects. Within the context of PA15 and the related challenges of providing urban-scale weather, AQ, and health alerts and services, an integrated project called the Environment Canada Pan and Parapan American Science Showcase was initiated.
