Host committee blames Tourism Calgary for loss of 2027 Indigenous Games

The Calgary host committee for the North American Indigenous Games is speaking out after the right to host the games in 2027 was taken waway. It's blaming Tourism Calgary, in part, for the failure. Last week, the games' council announced it was retracting Calgary's hosting rights, saying critical benchmarks were not met. The celebration of sport and culture was supposed to bring 5,000 athletes from across the continent to Calgary. Today, the local host society issued a statement, saying it faced shifting requirements and unreasonable demands. It said Tourism Calgary withheld operational funding from the City of Calgary, leaving the society without needed resources. The society called the actions a step backward for reconciliation in sport and culture. Tourism Calgary said the society did not meet key milestones and conditions, but wouldn't give any specifics -- and a spokesperson for the host committee, CEO Lowa Beebe, told CTV News they wouldn't give them any specifics either. The society says it's moving on and will rebrand, to try to organize another type of sporting event for Indigenous youth in Calgary.
