That might be the case then. I haven't lived in an apartment for almost 6 years.

My daughter has lived in a few apartments in London, ON over the past few years and is currently living in one. She had to sign an initial 12 month lease on each occasion. It was the same for me in 3 different apartments many years ago when I lived in Toronto. It's possible to find furnished, short-term rentals (I've done that as well while looking for somewhere more permanent to live) but every unfurnished apartment I've seen has wanted the tenant to commit to an initial 12 month lease. Usually there is an option to sublet if you need to move before the initial 12 months is up.

No it wasn't. Not sure why people think this.

Read the Pan-Am games bid document - there were no plans to have any facilities at York - the athletics stadium was supposed to be in Hamilton, until the city backed out later on.

The subway was never planned to open until Fall 2015 after the games.

Some people commented publicly, that the subway might be useful to the athletic stadium at York, assuming they could get a station open a few months early. But that was only ever supposition.
