London Undergoes Massive Transformation for 2012, Will Toronto Follow?
The Summer Olympics are underway, and the entire world watches as their prospective athletes compete for glory in the city of London. However, in order to host such a global event, a city must make drastic changes to its skyline, and roofing professionals are an absolute necessity for these changes. Without city professionals who specialize in roofing, the structures built for these titanic events would be very hazardous, endangering the lives of olympians and spectators alike.
This is of special interest for our Greater Toronto Area, as we consider a bid for the 2024 olympics.
There is renewed interest for the Olympic games in Toronto, as well as a bid for the 2025 World’s Expo. There is no doubt that our beautiful region would be perfect for these events, but roofing professionals must be utilized for the safety of the attendees, as many of these structures will be built solely for the event. We have just recently seen the effects of improper roofing practices in Toronto, as a roof collapse at a Radiohead performance led to the death of a crew member.
Toronto is already slated to host the 2015 Pan American/Parapan American Games. In just three years time, there will be a massive influx of travelers from around the world. Through the help of roofing professionals, we are already preparing for it. This is wonderful news, as any roofer will tell you, as it allows the city to professionally plan and take as many safety precautions as possible. This is especially true in the case of roofing, and reminds us all to perform regular maintenance on our roofs.
Even though a structure has been secure for many years does not mean that your roof is immune from harm. In fact, this is usually the opposite of the truth, for the longer your house stands, the more likely your roof has worn and is in need of repair. These olympic structures may be newly built, but they have been completed under the watchful eye of true roofing professionals.
