Calgary study of potential Winter Games bid on track, says Mayor Nenshi
Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi says there is a lot to do, but enough time to do it, in determining whether the city should bid for another Winter Olympics.
City council has a July deadline to decide on whether to throw its hat in the ring for the 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympics.
A 17-member exploration committee, led by former Calgary police chief and politician Rick Hanson, is currently studying facilities, security, costs, public engagement and government support.
City council approved a $5-million budget last year for the Calgary Bid Exploration Committee (CBEC) to do its work.
