I dunno. The articles aren't very specific.

CALGARY, March 13, 2019 /CNW/ - Today, Minister of Culture and Tourism Ricardo Miranda, Mayor Naheed Nenshi and Tourism Calgary CEO Cindy Ady announced that Calgary has secured the exclusive Canadian rights to host X Games for a minimum three-year run.

As the most relevant action sports and music festival in youth culture, featuring the best snowboarders and freestyle skiers and the most influential music artists in the world, hosting the X Games would bring significant economic benefits to Calgary, including an estimated: $75 million in annual economic activity, 75,000 annual spectators and more than 10,000 out-of-region annual visitors.
To me that doesn't sound like its leaving Aspen, where it has been for the last what 15 years? This sounds like a Canadian stop?

Why would you be getting the "Canadian rights" to host... if you are hosting the X-games?
