Calgary's Olympic Committee To Make Final City Council Update

Calgary’s Olympic bid exploration committee today will give the city council a progress update that “unequivocally concludes that making a bid for the 2026 Olympics is indeed feasible, pointing to fourteen key factors in coming to that conclusion.” The update is the last before the committee’s “final recommendation expected later this month.” The committee also “listed six unresolved issues that need answering before they’re ready to make their pitch.” These include “questions of funding, net benefit to Calgary and alignment into the city’s future vision, construction of new infrastructure and if a bid would have a reasonable chance of being successful” (CALGARY HERALD, 7/23).
