The CSME is an advisory committee to both The City of Calgary and the Board of Tourism Calgary. Its role is to provide strategic direction, advice and due diligence to the Tourism Calgary Board and management in the proactive process of selecting, evaluating and attracting major sports and culture events for Calgary. Based on its event selection priorities and criteria, committee members help evaluate and recommend bid initiatives and events for potential investment.
The vision for the CSME, working with Tourism Calgary and other key organizations in Calgary, is to win bids for and attract major sports, recreation and cultural events to generate incremental economic and social benefits for Calgary. This includes activation of existing facilities and advocacy for the development of new and improved facilities.
