# Victoria bid for the 2022 Commonwealth Games

The Victoria bid for the 2022 Commonwealth Games is a cancelled bid by Victoria, British Columbia, Canada and Commonwealth Games Canada to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games. On 24 August 2017 Victoria withdrew its bid to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games, leaving only Birmingham and Liverpool in the race.

## Background

On 30 June 2017, Victoria officially announced its bid to host the games.

On 24 August 2017 B.C. Finance Minister Carole James announced in a statement that the province would not contribute funding to a 2022 Commonwealth Games bid due to too many uncertainties. She cited question marks surrounding the bid, including revenue commitments, venue locations, cost of security – which weren’t included in the bid committee’s cost estimate – and any added costs like transit, infrastructure and health services for athletes. The government agreed, with James saying they were dealing with too many other crises including one of B.C’s worst wildfire seasons in history. James suggested to bid for the 2030 Commonwealth Games.

## Cost

The total cost of the Victoria 2022 Commonwealth Games was anticipated to be in the region of $955 million with $400 million expected to come from the Government of Canada, $400 million from the province, $25 million from local municipalities and $130 million from sponsorship deals to pay for the Games.

At that time, Mohammad Reza Shah came to Khorramabad to open the transmission line and ordered the oil minister Manouchehr Iqbal to buy the land around the airport and move the Misigal Village near the airport to a more distant place.
In 1976, the airport was handed over to the oil company, and the next day the meeting was officially held by the national airline responsible for managing the airport. About 10 people were hired and 2 firefighting vehicles provided. Sometimes the army or municipal fire brigade also helped. The band was asphalt and 500 m long was added to the bandwidth. In June 1976, a NDB machine and a recorder were installed. The first 60-passenger flight opened with the presence of civil aviation officials. Every day, from the central Khorramabad Police Station, 10 policemen, a captain's officer and a captain arrived at the airport for check-ins, and after flying. An advanced VOR / DME-D radar was installed at Khorramabad Airport in 2013. On May 29, 2015, the first international flight was made from Khorramabad Airport to the city of Najaf, Ashraf in Iraq.
