NEWS SUMMARY 
 November 6 ~ 13 


+ adrenaline – that’s what we need, a big collective shot of adrenaline in Calgary’s arm; to vote no in today’s plebiscite [whether or not the City of Calgary should bid to host the 2026 Winter Olympic Games] is to admit defeat without even getting on the horse; to vote YES in today’s plebiscite is to support taking a chance on a BHAG (big hairy audacious goal), not to guarantee a winning bid, but to authorize working to get ourselves in the game. C’mon Calgary, this is risk/reward time – some risk and enormous rewards for our city, for our citizens and for every child with a sports dream. Whether or not you remember the 1988 Olympics in Calgary, surely you remember Vancouver? It’s time to light a fire under ourselves and defeat defeatism – one vote at a time.
