The latest wave of delegates en route to Pyeongchang on behalf of Calgary’s potential 2026 Olympic bid adds 11 names to the city’s fact-finding mission.

In an email sent from mayor Naheed Nenshi’s office on Wednesday obtained by Postmedia, the “second wave” of delegates includes the names of four executive members and seven observers — including city and provincial officials, the mayor and chief administrative officer for the Town of Canmore, and members of the city’s Olympic bid committee.

That brings the city’s observation delegation to 15.

While the city’s shouldering about $90,000 of the trip’s $135,000 cost, both the provincial and federal governments, the Town of Canmore, and the Canadian Olympic Committee are chipping in as well.

Postmedia previously reported officials accompanying Nenshi to Pyeongchang included deputy city manager Brad Stevens, deputy premier Sarah Hoffman, and Premier Notley’s deputy chief of staff, Jen Anthony.
