Winter 1988
Calgary hosted the winter Olympics in 1988. The volunteer structure game the city an advantage and produced a successful and relaxed games. The games included the making of good amateur inclusion, with names like Eddy the Eagle and the Jamaican Bob sled team.
Big bang for the bucks:
The people of Calgary are an advantage to the games as budgets elsewhere have been larger then the amateur status calls for. Calgary is not cheap but a responsible games can be done in many view. The infrastructure from 1988 remains and is upgradeable, a number of people involved back in 1988 are still available. What remains is, is it wanted.
When it comes it can be something to manage file photo KDG
