This was released earlier this week, but I don't think it was posted. Here's the much ballyhooed financial due diligence summary that was prepared by the city (with sensitive information redacted). There aren't any numbers in the report, but that should be expected since it only identifies areas of risk where the BidCo's numbers could be wrong: https://pub-calgary.escribemeetings....cumentId=69018

The information in the report has already been reported with the Ooga-booga spin from the CBC, but I didn't really see any huge surprising gotchas in it. It shouldn't be surprising that if the NHL doesn't participate, it would likely hurt the revenue forecast.

On Tuesday of next week, there is another meeting scheduled for the 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Assessment Committee. In preparation, the city secretariat has prepared this document with answers to previous questions asked by Council: https://pub-calgary.escribemeetings....cumentId=69156

Questions 3, 4, and 5 are probably the most interesting based on the discussions in this thread.

3. Could the security budget change?

4. What capital investments can be made in City facilities with and without the 2026 OPWG?

5. Could a new event centre be part of a future version of the draft plan?

They will also discuss the possibility of releasing any previous reports that had been deemed confidential at the time of their preparation.
