Residents of Calgary and the Bow Valley Corridor are being asked to share their feelings on a potential bid for the 2026 Olympic Winter Games.

The Calgary Bid Exploration Committee (CBEC) launched an online questionnaire Wednesday, seeking citizen feedback as the group spends $5 million exploring whether Calgary should try to bring the Winter Games back in 2026.

“Understanding what people in Calgary and the surrounding area think about a potential bid is an important part of our exploration process,” Brian Hahn, general manager of CBEC, said in a news release.

“We want to know where they see the benefits to submitting a bid but also what their concerns are.”

The online questionnaire — found at www.ShouldCalgaryBid.com — shares paragraphs of information with respondents and asks how they feel about a potential bid from an economic, environmental and community-impact standpoint.

The survey also details the legacies of Calgary’s 1988 Winter Games and asks respondents how they feel about a bid “from the viewpoint of creating and sustaining a legacy for Calgary.”
