Abstract
Toronto has failed to secure the right to the host the Olympic Games on five different occasions (1960, 1964, 1976, 1996 and 2008). Toronto's Olympic bids do not emerge from a love of sport, instead they have been driven by the desire to use the Olympic Games as a vehicle to stimulate a large-scale redevelopment of Toronto's waterfront. This research demonstrates that sport and recreation are not seen as important pieces of the city's public infrastructure, and consequently Toronto has had to place its hope on the legacies of hosting (or winning), which even if successful, might represent a losing strategy for sport development.
