Roller sports competitions at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto was held from July 11 to 13 at the St. John Paul II Catholic Secondary School for the speed competitions.[1][2] Originally the 400 meters oval would be constructed at CIBC Pan Am/Parapan Am Aquatics Centre and Field House and meant to be temporary but a last minute venue change to St. John Paul II Catholic Secondary School means that the high school gets to keep the track after the competition.[3]
The figure skating competitions took place at the Direct Energy Centre (Exhibition Centre). Due to naming rights the venue will be known as the latter for the duration of the games. A total of eight events (six in speed and two in figure) will be contested, with the events being equally split between each gender.[4][5]
