CALGARY – The Olympic flame was officially extinguished in Calgary on Feb. 28, 1988.
The Olympic spirit this city has rallied around ever since may have died Tuesday.
Unsuccessful organizers of a yes vote may beg to differ, insisting they simply ran out of time on a bid to bring back the five ring circus.
However, what was definitive in a city-wide Olympic plebiscite that found 56 per cent of a massive turnout vote ‘no’ to pursuing the 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games is that $4 billion tabbed for the bid won’t be coming here to help mend a troubled economy.
