Calgary 2026 leader expects close vote in Winter Games plebiscite
CALGARY — Scott Hutcheson carries a volunteer medal from the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary with him these days.
His parents Bob and Jane relocated from Ontario for a month to donate their time at the Nakiska alpine ski venue during those games.
Bob recently sent the medal to his son, who hopes Calgarians feel its value as much as he does when they vote Tuesday in a plebiscite on whether or not they want the city to bid on the 2026 Winter Games.
“That’s what it’s about,” Hutcheson said Monday. “Giving your spirit, giving your all to a community. That’s what he did.”
