Kazan 2015 House opens its doors in Montreal. Part 3

Kazan and the forthcoming 2015 FINA World Championships will be presented in Canada. The Tatarstan delegation is currently on a visit to Montreal where the 15th FINA World Masters Championships are held from July 27 to August 10. Parc Jean-Drapeau was chosen as the venue for the event. It includes sports facilities that were constructed especially for the Olympic Games and are now put to use during the tournament.

"At Parc Jean-Drapeau, we set up an exhibition booth, so called 'Kazan House', and it has already opened its doors to welcome first visitors," said Director General of the Executive Directorate for Sports Projects, Azat Kadyrov, who is visiting Montreal as we speak. The total floor area of the exhibition booth is 100 sq.m. It is decorated with the colour scheme of the 16th FINA World Masters Championships which will be hosted next year in Kazan. The booth is located near the entrance to the competition area.

A special place is designated in the booth for holding meetings and talks. "The delegation's main task in Montreal is to present Kazan as a multinational and innovative sports city with a rich history and developed sports infrastructure," said Deputy Director General of the Executive Directorate for Sports Projects, Mikhail Zotov.

The organisers expect a big turnout as spectators show huge interest in the forthcoming 2015 sporting events in Russia. Girls dressed in national costumes will be meeting visitors at the entrance of the Kazan House. They will offer a true Tatar treat to guests: tasty tea and chak-chak, the traditional Tatar pastry.
