Calgary's Olympic Legacy

It appears quite clear to me that Calgarians are not willing to support the facilities left from the 1988 Olympics.  

They turned down a bid to bring the 2026 Games to Calgary which would have rejuvenated those facilities.  They're refusing to help the bobsled track and the ski jump towers are already slated to be demolished.   I think the writing is on the wall!  Calgary has changed dramatically and Calgarians will no longer support these kind of facilities.  I think the bobsled track, the ski jump towers, and the other former Olympic facilities should be demolished.  The Olympic Oval may be the exception as long as the university is maintaining it.  

Let Calgarians move on to whatever they're moving on to!  The "NO" campaigners in the Olympic Plebiscite will have suggestions on where Calgary should go from here!
