"We're supposed to understand after their detailed review if they can mitigate the schedule, how they're going to do that and what the actual date might be,' she said. In recent weeks and months, the roof on the velodrome has been inUjadand exte&- rior parieting has started toEî put up. 10 was notified that "roofing activities" and the pouring of concrete on the ground floor were the two areas mainly impacted. Reynolds said construction crews had been working overtime to get back on schedule. 'They have been working extra shifts and some weekend shifts - we expect that will continue," she said. Based on the design, build and finance agreement between 10 and ONSS it would be the contractor who would assume any additional costs associated with meeting the project's milestones. A separate crew will also be brought in to con struct the track itself, and "the building hasto be to a certain point of readiness for that to happen," Reynolds said. The original anticipated opening of the velodrome was scheduled for late August, with the National Track Cycling Champion- ships in mid-October acting as an official test event for the Games. Cycling Canada has been made aware of the delays and the potential impact on the event. Reynolds said more would be known about any impact on the competition after the meeting with ONSS. %ss o 1I think the discussion wiII have to be be-. tween Toronto 2015 and Cycling Canada as they're co-hosting this test event and what ro o) the options would be," Reynolds said.

"They also get access to public transportation with their accreditation!' A test event for the Games is scheduled for October, as the velodrome will play host to the Canadian National Track Cycling Champi- onships. The application form asks prospective volun- *teers to indicate their interest in helping. out at this event, or others planned at other ven- ues ahead of the Games. "What we would like to do in an ideal situa- tion is if someone is going to be volunteering in the velodrome at Games time, having them connected to that test event makes a lot of sense because they can get used to that en- vironment and to that role, and we can make sure it s an appropriate fit."
