Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi was not available for interviews Thursday. But a representative from his office said Nenshi was aware of the idea.

A group of business and community leaders has been working on a Calgary-only proposal for more than year, but has yet to reveal any details.

Quebec’s mayor, Regis Labeaume, will be in the Swiss city of Lausanne on April 11 to meet with International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach to have preliminary talks aimed at a possible bid for the Games that year.

Labeaume noted in a statement Thursday that Bach sent out the invitation in early January.

The mayor has often said the costs of organizing an Olympics are far too pricey.

“People in Quebec City know my views on Olympic Games and, until further notice, they haven’t changed,” he said at a news conference later Thursday.
