“Calgarians know how the Olympics bring the country together behind our athletes, igniting community spirit and national pride,” said Mayor Dave Bronconnier. “It will be exciting to be a part of the 2010 Winter Games opening weekend, connecting Calgarians with Canadians to cheer for our athletes on home turf.”
