Possible Olympic Bid for Quebec City

World Class Athlete Program - Winter Olympics 2010 Quebec City could be looking at a bid for the 2022 Winter Olympics. The mayor of Quebec City and the Quebec premier will be meeting with officials to discuss a possible future bid.

 The mayor was skeptical of a bid if the South Korean city of Pyeongchang won the 2018 Games. After an Asian city, a European city would most likely win the next bid.

 If a 2022 bid is not possible, officials might aim for either 2026 or 2030.
