We'll look forward to what Calgarians have to say," said federal Minister of Sport Kirsty Duncan. "And within our federal hosting policy, we are not responsible for cost overruns." The announcement came two days after Calgary city councillors voted to keep the city's 2026 Olympic bid alive after hours of heated discussion. Rather than $3 billion originally required by public funds, the organization said it had trimmed costs and now required $2.875 billion. Calgary 2026 BidCo CEO Mary Moran also told council the federal government — through the minister of public safety — will cover any security costs above what is currently budgeted.
