Calgary decides to stay in the game for possible 2026 Olympic Games bid
Calgary is continuing down the road of bidding for the 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Games, at least until the next off-ramp.
City council voted Monday to spend up to $2 million more on work towards a possible bid.
City administration said if council didn’t vote for the funding, Calgary should stop pursuing a bid.
But only $1 million of that money will be released until it is known what the federal and provincial governments are willing to contribute to a bid. Council wants that answer by early 2018.
