Not so fast on 2026, Calgary says Olympic documents posted in error
Calgary walked back a city administration report stating the provincial and federal governments would contribute money to a 2026 Olympic Games bid, saying Saturday that no formal or final confirmation had been received.
Documents posted Friday on the city’s website said the Canadian government would contribute $10.5 million and the Alberta government $10 million towards a bid estimated to cost $30 million.
The city said in a statement issued Saturday those reports were posted in error.
“The version of the report that was posted online was a version that had been prepared in the hope of receiving formal funding approval ahead of next week’s strategic meeting of council,” the statement read. “It was mistakenly posted.”
