Just so everyone understands the breakdown, $5.3B = $3B paid by three forms of govt.
This has not been broken down yet, but it is believed to be 50% federal ($1.5B), 25-25 Prov-City, meaning Calgary residents are on the hook for $750M.
This $750M cost would mean improvements to McMahon, The Oval, Winsport, etc, along with a new field house and rink to replace the Corral.
(ETA: Much of these improvements are going to be done anyway.)
$750M between 1M residents, over a 10 year span (2019-2029) would be $75 per person per year.
Is the Olympics worth $75 a year to you?
