On November 13, you will be asked to vote on whether or not you want the City of Calgary to pursue a bid for the 2026 Olympic and Paralympic games.
You can find details about the plebiscite at calgary.ca/vote2018. Here are the basics:

- Voting day: November 13 - polls open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
I urge you to vote in the plebiscite, and to do everything you can to inform yourself. I promise you I will be taking note of the results. Here are some resources:
