With the hype this is bound to get maybe there will be some movement for a Professional team back in Edmonton.
Any idea why they withdrew the hosting proposal?Edmonton and Calgary to co-host the 2027 Indigenous Games and gathering. Calgary was originally chosen as the host city but the Council that governs these games withdrew Calgary's hosting rights last summer. Edmonton will host some of the sporting events and a powwow.
Sounds like the whole situation has been a bit of a clusterfudge.

It is unfortunate there have been such problems. Edmonton has a fairly significant indigenous population, so I feel it could be a good choice to help host this event.According to quick online search - failure to meet critical benchmarks (unreasonable demands, shifting requirements and withheld funding from Tourism Calgary).
Calgary host society operated without signed host agreement preventing them from accessing crucial provincial and federal funds.
