I fully support.

There was a movement afoot for 2022, but there was simply not enough time to pull off the bid. But those that pushed it were correct in that they predicted the major players in Europe would all drop out. If we had gone for it, we likely would have easily won against China and Kazakhstan, almost by default. At the time Marcel Aubut and a possible 2024 Toronto bid would have been barriers, however.

Now that Marcel Aubut is out at COC, and Toronto is not bidding anytime soon for a summer games, the path is clear for Calgary.

We would be an attractive, safe host for the IOC and could position ourselves as a budget olympics in a time when so many games, like Sochi, spiralled wildly out of control.
