Some highlights:
$203m expected immediately returned in tax revenue to municipalities, the province, and the federal government during the games
$337m expected in additional returned tax revenue to municipalities, the province, and the federal government from 2026-2031
$1b expected revenue to the tourism sector
$1b in GDP growth
Over 6000 FTE jobs created in the long term
