#CBCPanAm: We take a tour of the Pan Am Athletes Village
The athletes are arriving in Toronto's newest neighbourhood
With the Pan Am games starting in two days, the Pan Am Athletes Village (PAV), located in the brand new Canary District of Toronto, is starting to come alive.
We were invited to take a tour of the PAV and jumped at the chance to share it with you.
There's no place like home (away from home).
According to this picture, we can be sure that athletes from Puerto Rico, Guatemala and Uruguay have arrived.
We can also be sure there is no shortage of flags in the PAV.
We're getting a tour of the Pan Am Athletes Village PAV at 12 P.M. ET. No shortage of flags! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/cbcpanam?src=hash">#cbcpanam</a> <a href="http://t.co/yCsOwfLsCK">pic.twitter.com/yCsOwfLsCK</a>

There was an air of excitement in the village. Everything is new and there are so many people arriving. Many athletes were making the most of the communal space.

And of course, go to practice.
