The City of Calgary is formally exploring a bid to host the 2026 Olympic Winter Games.
The announcement came Friday as the Canadian Olympic Committee established a special committee to assist interested cities in
building successful bids.
In March 2016 the COC contacted Canada’s seven largest cities to assess the interest and potential for hosting the 2026 Winter Games or 2028 Summer Games and asked interested cities to reply by Thursday.
Calgary, which hosted the 1988 Winter Games, followed through on that request.
