On July 20, 2009, the national bid received funding from the Government of Alberta.

There were seven bids solicited on 26 September 2001, and seven bids received.

It is unclear how many other bids the city has received.

The winning bid must receive a majority of the 94 I.O.C. votes, and several ballots may be necessary.

The bid has received the full support of the government.

Days later, it was renewed, though the rivals' bids had received higher ratings.

Suchard's bid would now presumably receive the same treatment.

Their bid ultimately just received seven votes.

The following month the bid received the country's environment ministry.

The bid also received the support of the Italy's Chamber of Deputies.
