Name of the Company: APP All Remove B.V. Phone: +31485315621 Website: www.app-protect.com Contact person: Brigitta van Staveren Cell: +31651306687 E-mail: brigitta@app-protect.com APP develops and produces environmental friendly protective coatings for horizontal and vertical construction surfaces, that retain the visual appearance and physical properties of building materials. Our systems protect the surfaces of many diverse commercial-, civil engineering-, infra-structure and sports projects, but also objects of art and heritage. APP-S sacrificial Anti-Graffiti coating allows for safe, effective and economical removal of graffiti, saving surfaces from costly traditional methods of graffiti removal. APP-HD permanent impregnation is used to waterproof and also to protect against dirt. This system is a water based, long term protective, one single application for use on a variety of porous and non- porous construction materials. Our products are usually required right form a projects start; when an architect dictates protection of his object. In other cases communities, counties or state departments ask for it when a lot of dirt or graffiti appears, and gives their citizens an idea of insecurity in these areas. We have a sister company in Canada that has an extensive experience, and can do the application of both systems. Please see: APP All Remove Canada
Name of the Company: Embedded Fitness Website: www.embeddedfitness.nl Contact person: Carla Scholten Cell: +31 6 1777 3967 E-mail: carla@embeddedfitness.nl English Brochure: http://www.embeddedfitness.nl/images/pdf/BrochureEngelsEmbeddedFitness.pdf Embedded Fitness has introduced in Holland an interactive fitness & gaming concept to motivate people to be more active. A composition of interactive fitness products, supported by a motivating exercising program that activates both young and old and processing a fun experience. The first so- called E-fit zone started in Eindhoven and is great, full of youngsters entertaining themselves with a good deal of exercise. Nowadays we grow up in a virtual environment. We have got used to the Internet, gaming, MSN and television, quite unlikely to live without nowadays. Embedded Fitness is using this new media and technologies to stimulate a new way of exercising and creativity. The E-fit zone creates a meeting place and invites you to be socially interactive and compete with others. Here is worked on condition, concentration and response. It is fun to do, and fun makes people feel better. This concept is also suitable for children with impaired social interaction and communication (autism), for rehabilitation and for those who have physical impairments. Special programs have been developed to adjust to these target groups. The E-fit zone offers space for schools, after-school activities, children’s sport-parties, business outings, special groups and individuals. The e-fitness concept is definitely a breakthrough in accepting e-sports and building an ambient (sports) environment. Our focus is to roll out the concept to several locations in cooperation with organizations like schools, healthcare institutes, real estate organizations and government. Laboratory The E-fit zone in Eindhoven also functions as a laboratory for new developments. In partnership with various care and research institutions research is done into new applications of physical exercising items, but there are also exercises appropriate to the concept developed for various audiences. E-fit events Other activities of our company are organizing school competitions for children and support big sport events like the Olympics in Vancouver (2010) and London (2012) with an ice-skating simulator and rowing machines. For several events it is possible to make use of a so-called mobile E-fit zone. We provide not only workshops, but we can also perform health checks by using a mobile formation. By using the mobile E-fit zone, you will create a fun and attractive feeling towards exercising. E-fit zone is a place where people meet, who are interested in game sporting, chal- lenge each other or set a goal by themselves. All programs have a main goal, which is to improve the vitality of participants. E-fit zone can be used in many ways. Leisure It’s possible to come game sport individually, with parents or with friends. After- school activities can be arranged in the E-fit zone, but also birthday parties or business outings. It’s even more fun to compete for the best high score with friends, challenge each other or improve yourselves on innovative devices.
..continued.. Education By combining the concept of Embedded Fitness along with education, if offers opportunities to bring education together with exercising. Schools can plan a gym class in the E-fit zone, but they can also start a program with interactive exercising that include healthy lifestyle classes. Research shows that pupils are less motivated for current gym classes. In the E-fit zone every single pupil is playing actively and enthusiastically and leave after an hour and a half with a happy and satisfied feeling. Care Research shows that the concept is suitable for several target groups. Therefore, Embedded Fitness endeavours to offer programs for each target group.
Name of the Company: Fagus Project Management & Advies Phone: +31 70 850 31 93 Website: www.fpma.nl Contact person: Peter van Woesik Cell: +31 6 546 563 10 E-mail: p.vanwoesik@fpma.nl The company culture at Fagus Projectmanagement & Advies B.V. reflects the fact that we are an independent employee-owned business that values commitment, creativity and collaboration in everything we do. We believe in working as closely as possible with our clients (public and private), keeping all avenues of communication open at all times. Our work environments are stimulating, unconventional and, above all, user-friendly. Our office, for instance, located in Rijswijk, is a series of spaces purpose-designed to be flexible, practical and playful; in short, the opposite of a traditional meeting-room. Since 2000 we support our clients with project management, for infrastructures, buildings, and landscaping. From process development to implementation and management. Executive, supportive and resolution. For shorter or longer periods. Process management is the ensemble of activities of planning and monitoring the performance of a process. The term usually refers to the management of business processes and manufacturing processes. Business process management (BPM) and business processreengineering are interrelated, but not identical. Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing, motivating, and controlling resources to achieve specific goals. A project is a temporary endeavor with a defined beginning and end (usually time-constrained, and often constrained by funding or deliverables), undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives, typically to bring about beneficial change or added value.The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the project goals and objectives while honoring the preconceived constraints. The primary constraints are scope, time, quality and budget.The secondary —and more ambitious— challenge is to optimize the allocation of necessary inputs and integrate them to meet pre-defined objectives. Program management or programme management is the process of managing several related projects, often with the intention of improving an organization's performance. In practice and in its aims it is often closely related to systems engineering and industrial engineering. Risk management is the identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks (defined in ISO 31000 as the effect of uncertainty on objectives, whether positive or negative) followed by coordinated and
..continued.. economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of opportunities. Asset management is a systematic process of operating, maintaining, upgrading, and disposing of assets cost-effectively. Environment management aims to be the integrated control between the interaction of the contractor (building company) and the public space (government).

Name of the Company: Flexotels BV Phone: +31 499 378 401 Website: www.flexotels.com Contact person: Hubert von Heijden E-mail: hubert@flexotels.com Flexotels offers flexible hotel accommodation for the sport and music industry. A Flexotel room can accommodate two people and has the familiar trappings of an ordinary hotel room: electricity and light, two beds, storage, space, linen, towels and a key to lock your room. The rooms are collapsible, so can be quickly put up and taken down and they can be arranged in different formations that suit each individual event and local available space. We think that it could be interesting to accommodate personnel, volunteers, security and/or other persons involved in Flexotel rooms before and during the Pan American Games. The big advantage of Flexotels is the fact that those people will stay at the event site/next to the venue. This enhances the atmosphere and the organization does not have to worry about transporting people back home or to any far away hotel accommodation. In a Flexotel room 2 people can stay. Electricity and light is available and each room is completed with sheets and towels. 40% of the events in our reference lists the rooms are used by employees of the events.

Name of the Company: Silt BV Phone: +31 20 33 44 170 Website: www.siltbv.nl Contact person: René Dekker Cell: +31 6 2059 5437 E-mail: rdekker@siltbv.nl AquaPush: Ground-breaking watering concept AquaPush: a new and ground-breaking watering concept for synthetic turf playing fields. Such fields need to be wet when used, and so are usually watered by sprinklers. However, this consumes a lot of water and the field is never watered equally. Instead, particularly dry or wet spots may result, posing the risk of injury to players. The AquaPush system means that the field is watered from below, using a subterranean water reservoir. Thanks to an ingenious pump system, the humidity of the turf can be controlled precisely, and the water that is used always flows back into the reservoir. AquaPush has many advantages. Hardly any water is wasted, which is favorable for the environment and for the owner’s wallet. The fields are moreover watered equally, reducing the risk of injury. Former hockey coach of the Dutch women hockey team, Herman Kruis, was the person that hit on the idea of AquaPush. It happened when visiting the show jumping rider Jeroen Dubbeldam, as he rode his horse in a sand pit that remained moist despite the warm weather and the absence of any sprinkler installation. The sand remained moist thanks to the water contained within the sealed construction, whose level could be controlled externally. Kruis thereupon approached managing director Ronald Koning of Silt, who had built several horse troughs using this concept. The system was developed further jointly with Desso Sports System. Hockey club Push in Breda realized the advantages of this system and agreed to a pilot project. This sustainable system achieves a substantial saving on the amount of water used annually: over 5000 cubic metres less, compared to a traditional field. The rapid drainage of the water is another important advantage of the system. In the past season, several matches had to be cancelled or temporarily halted on account of heavy though often brief downpours. With the AquaPush system the field is no longer flooded, as the water drains rapidly from the surface through the drain- age system. Keeping the water moving also reduces the chance of the water turning into ice, so that fields with the AquaPush system may also be used during the winter months. In short: maintenance expenses drop while the playing capacity increases. Following the final approval of the pilot field, the Netherlands Institute for Sports Facilities gave the go-ahead for the construction of an entire field at Push Breda. Execution of this project is scheduled for the spring of 2013. See separate document (annex 12)

London, where Canada was ranked 33 rd. This is because of a great combination between good
coaches, state of the art training facilities and a professional sport structure.
Dutch coaches are well known in the world and deliver great results within international sporting
events.
The facilities in the Netherlands are of very high quality. Yearly we host several European and World
Championships in number of sports like swimming and cycling (track). Several facilities are unique in
the world like our National Swim Institute in Eindhoven and our full size BMX track at our National
Sport Centre in Papendal, which is a copy of the Olympic track in London.
Training camps
Teams and individual athletes from all over the world come to the Netherlands to train at our state of
the art training facilities, train with the best athletes and get trained by Dutch world-class coaches. In
combination with a year around good climate the Netherlands is a great country to go to for a high
level training camp.
Coaches
Dutch coaches are recognized as some of the best in the world for various sports. There is not one
continent with a country that hasn’t had a Dutch national coach.
For example: since 2008 Charles van Commenée is the technical director of the UK Athletics and
Jacco Verhaeren for the Dutch national swim federation since 2006.
What can we offer?
We can provide Canadian teams and athletes a unique training camp in the Netherlands:
Top training facilities
High end (sport) hotels
World class (guest) coaches
