There were almost 25,000 attendees for that one. It seemed unlikely to me that Calgary can even accommodate that many visitors, visitcalgary.com says Calgary has more than 11,000 hotel rooms, which doesn't seem like enough for an event that size.
I was in Grade 4 for this and I remember everyone in the class had to draw a picture welcoming the members to Calgary. I think the teacher just told us they were a group of do-gooders.
