“During this Year of Sport in Canada, we are very proud to support the 2015 Bromont Three Day Event as it will provide our top Canadian equestrian athletes with a final tune-up against many of the same international competitors that they will see in a few weeks at the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games. I wish all of the competitors, event organizers and local volunteers a wonderful event.”

“Sport Canada’s Hosting Program has allowed the Bromont Olympic Park to host a truly world-class competition that embodies Canada’s Year of Sport initiative. The 2015 Bromont Three Day Event is a prime example of how the support Equine Canada Hippique receives from the Government of Canada plays a vital role in ensuring our Canadian equestrian athletes and officials have the opportunity to gain competitive experience at the highest level of the sport right here in their own backyard.”
