Also remember that in the future, those facilities are going to be rebuilt/upgraded/improved anyway. Calgary is a sporting hub where several athletes train, learn and progress.
The area already hosts annual world cups and competitions and will continue to do so. So it is not like any money spent would come out of the blue.
Of course there will be those that say "so what". But we all know those people would be the first to stand up and complain when an athlete from "Togo" or likewise wins an Olympic medal over a Canadian athlete who didn't get to benefit from modern training.
