Town of Canmore supports Calgary’s Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games bid
CANMORE, Alta. — Canmore’s town council has voted to support Calgary’s bid for the 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
The Rocky Mountain town an hour west of Calgary would host some of the events and build an athlete’s village as part of the bid.
“I am speaking in support for many reasons,” said Canmore Mayor John Borrowman. “First and foremost, I am strongly motivated by the housing that will be provided through the athlete’s village.”
Housing affordability is a major issue in Canmore.
