Something seems off about that letter.

Edit: Maybe not

The federal and provincial governments have reached a funding proposal agreement that would mean the public dollars are in place to fund the 2026 Winter Olympics in Calgary.

The Calgary 2026 bid corporation sent out an announcement at 10 p.m. Monday night including a letter saying the required total of $2.875 billion of public funds, in 2018 dollars, would be met.

It was signed by Alberta Premier Rachel Notley, federal Minister of Sport Kirsty Duncan and included a space for Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi's signature.

The announcement comes late on the same day the chair of the City of Calgary's Olympic assessment committee recommended to council that it end its pursuit of the 2026 Winter Games and cancel a scheduled plebiscite.
