The government of Alberta, Canada has pulled its support for a bid to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games due to rising costs.
Tourism and Sport Minister Joseph Schow said the bill was estimated at 2.7bn canadian dollar, a burden “too high for the province to bear”.
The organizer of the Games says it is “sorry to hear that Alberta is no longer developing its bid proposal”.
