The Event Centre is back in the Calgary news, and the Ward Zero trio of Esmahan Razavi, Jeremy Zhao and LiveWire Calgary editor Darren Krause talks about the $16.8 million in close out costs, but really dive into transparency.

They even tie in the way Calgary’s 2026 Olympic bid was handled.

After that they consider how a Calgary version of Edmonton’s $170 million plan to bring 100 kilometres of bike infrastructure to that city over the next four years might look. Jeremy is pretty clear in his thoughts on how this would in our city.

There’s hot take and quick hits to keep you up to speed on local happenings in Calgary.

Enjoy the listen!
