Calgary stepped onto the world stage when we hosted the 1988 Winter Games and 35 years later the Olympic spirit continues to inspire Calgarians.
Join us for an evening of sharing stories and personal memories from those incredible Games with the organizers who made it happened and the athletes who became heroes for all Canadians.
Canadian Olympic great Catriona Le May Doan, O.C. will be the emcee for the evening and speakers include Kerrin Lee-Gartner, Karen Percy Lowe, Ed Lukowich, with a video appearance by Elizabeth Manley and organizers Alf Fisher and Russ Tynan. Mary Moran and Jason Ribero will share their thoughts on experiences of the Calgary 2026 bid for the Games and Calgary’s future as sports city. A number of artifacts from the Games will be on display.
Calgary 88 Brewing, which started in celebrating the legacy of the Games will be on hand to help capture the Spirit.
Doors open at 6:30 pm for viewing and visiting, program commences at 7:00 pm.
