However, private letters from COC leadership that have recently surfaced now provide more context and greater clarity about their position on a potential Vancouver bid.
“When we resume our Olympic bid activities, Vancouver will be the only option considered for a potential bid for the Winter Games,” wrote David Shoemaker, the CEO and Secretary General of the COC, in a February 2021 letter, translated from French to English.
“As indicated previously, our analysis of conditions in various Canadian cities conducted in 2020, which was complemented by consultation with the Canadian sport community, governments and Games experts, informed this decision.”
The letter early this year also stated the COC’s board of directors had just held a meeting that decided “all activities related to the determination of a future candidacy of Canada hosting the Olympics would be suspended for at least a year.”
