Transparency concerns cloud potential costs of Vancouver hosting major sporting events

As British Columbians continue to enjoy the Vancouver Canucks’ performance in the Stanley Cup playoffs, questions surrounding the ability of municipalities to organize viewing parties have resurfaced. Many recall the June 2011 riots that started immediately after the game downtown Vancouver. Others are reminded of the inability of some local governments to properly organize “fun events.”

Another global event finds a more welcoming public. Almost half of British Columbians think Vancouver should launch a bid to host the Summer Olympics in 2036, while 40 per cent disagree and 11 per cent are not sure. In any case, we are just two years away from BC Place hosting FIFA World Cup matches. Team Canada will play there at least twice in 2026, but it is too early to know which other teams will be featured in front of B.C. crowds.
