Toronto now estimates that hosting the 2026 World Cup will cost $380 million. The B.C. government has yet to release its own budget for hosting the event.
In a news release, Sport Minister Lana Popham said hosting the tournaments had been made more difficult 'with rising costs and the downturn of the economy.'
Prince Harry is the founder and patron of the games, which see wounded, injured and sick veterans and active service members from around the world compete in a variety of sports.
Organizers have not yet called B.C. about potentially hosting the 2030 Winter Olympic Games, but provincial officials say they’d now be interested in picking up the phone.
