TORONTO - Olympic gymnast Kris Burley remained in the
closet throughout his career.

.The international sporting environment was too hostile a
place for a gay athlete.From my perspective, to be the
best athlete that you can be, and to reach your
objectives, you have to be able to be yourself, Burley
said. And my personal experience is . . . it wasnt a
comfortable and open environment for me. And it was
really challenging. And I know thats shared by a lot of
athletes that have similar stories.When Toronto hosts the
Pan American Games next summer in Toronto, Burley said it
will mark the first time the organizing committee has
worked in partnership with the local gay community.That
sends a real message I think, a real leadership message
to set a higher standard for inclusion, Burley said.The
Truro, N.S., native was the emcee for Fridays unveiling
of PrideHouse Torontos plans for the Pan Am and Parapan
Am Games.They include a celebration zone in the citys
Church-Wellesley Village, with family activities such as
pick-up sports games.The 519 Church Street Community
Centre will be turned into a Pan Am pavilion, with a safe
space for people to watch the Games as well as celebrate
athletes and inclusion in sports, said PrideHouse
spokesperson Ryan Tollofson.There will be a PrideHouse
presence at other Games sites such as Nathan Phillips
Square and the CNE grounds, with 16 ambassadors from
across Ontario, who have been trained to be able to
address questions about the importance of inclusion in
sport.There has never been a PrideHouse at a Pan Am
Games, Tollofson said. Eleven Pan American countries
still criminalize LGBTQ activity, PrideHouse Toronto
said.We want to set an example for what inclusion in
sport can be, Tollofson said. Were very fortunate in
Canada to have a country where we have a lot of rights
and protections as gay folks, as LGBTQ people, and so we
want to be able to demonstrate that to the world. The
main goal of PrideHouse is to make the Pan Am Games the
most inclusive multi-sport Games in history.Burley
competed for Canada at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, and
then the 1999 Pan Am Games in Winnipeg, retiring that
same year.The former gymnast said that while Canada is an
international leader in LGBTQ rights, sports still
remains behind other areas of society in terms of
inclusion.You can see that from all the media that comes
from every athlete that comes out, beginning with (NBA
player) Jason Collins right through to Michael Sam (the
first publicly gay athlete to be drafted into the NFL)
and some of the other athletes, Burley said.Torontos
PrideHouse for the Pan Am Games, he said, isnt about a
bricks-and-mortar building where people say OK, thats
where the gays are going to participate in the Games.Its
also about including Toronto communities, as well as
encouraging the LGBTQ community to participate fully in
the Games.Were not quite there yet in sport, I think were
a little bit behind, Burley said. But this is a good step
in the right direction, and it sets a good precedent and
Im hoping that future organizing committees with all
adopt the same thing, and it will just be standard that
the LGBTQ component and diversity in general gets
incorporated as part of every Games going forward.The Pan
Am Games are July 10-26, while the Parapan Am Games are
Aug. 7-15.

-64-chargers-spencer-pulley-jersey.aspx . JOHNS,
N.TORONTO -- The reigning Canadian mens curling champions
have a new skip for the next Tim Hortons Brier. John
Morris will join forces with third Pat Simmons, second
Carter Rycroft and lead Nolan Thiessen as Team Canada
makes its debut at the 2015 Brier in Calgary. He replaces
Kevin Koe, who left the champions to form a new team with
third Marc Kennedy, second Brent Laing and lead Ben
Hebert. "Were thrilled to be able to bring aboard a
player of Johns calibre," Simmons said in a statement.
"Of course, weve always had a great deal of respect for
John as a player and a rival, and were excited about what
we can do together on the ice next season." At the 2014
Brier, Morris skipped the B.C. team (third Jim Cotter,
second Tyrel Griffith, lead Rick Sawatsky) that lost to
Koes Alberta foursome in the final.

Jersey. Morris said he will play a limited schedule
during the 2014-15 season due to work commitments. "My
plan was to take the 2014-15 season off as I move ahead
in my career as a firefighter," said Morris, who lives in
Chestermere, Alta., just outside of Calgary. "But to be
able to play for Team Canada, and considering the Alberta
events are so close to home, it was hard to pass up on
this offer. I talked it over with Jim, Tyrel and Rick and
they were very understanding. I cant thank them enough
for the season we had, and I wish them nothing but the
very best going forward."
