Hamilton city councillors will hear, in August, the details from organizers planning what the Commonwealth Games would look like if the city hosted them in six years. Judi Partridge, council pivoted on Monday towards talking about hosting the 2026 games instead of the 2030 games. The original notice, which seemed much more committed to the 2026 games, was amended so that there was no commitment or binding agreement to proceed with the bid. Hosting the Commonwealth Games could cost about $1.4 billion. Brad Clark said he's heard Hamilton has no competition for the 2026 games.
