Hi !
We are ready to present the BID for the CYCC 2018 and Canadian Open 2018.
The twin project is a partership between the FQE, the Quebec City Convention Center, the City of Quebec and hopefully, the CFC.
The BID document is divided into 7 sections :
1) Letters of support
2) The Local host
3) The destination : Quebec City
4) Proposed Hotels and facilities
5) Optional activities
6) Budget and Fundraising potential
7) Great Interest for the WYCC 2018
Some additionnal notes :
- The document contains 53 pages (PDF) including a letter from the Quebec Prime Minister to Mr Lyle Craver.
- The sections and elements are open for argumentation.
- A donation to the Kalev Pugi fund is budgeted.
- There is fundraising possibilities for the Federations.
- We would like the BID to be voted soon (before march 31st) for the reason that two years is just ok to prepare important events.
- Also A Quebec City delegation will go to the Sport Accord Convention this april to open discussions with FIDE about the WYCC 2018. The CYCC is an important spring board.
- The sections and Prizes distribution of the Canadian Open are not decided for the moment. We want some tips from CFC Governors and chess amateurs before doing that. A unique section, or multiple sections ?
- The Quebec Open and Canadian Open will be two different tournaments at different dates.
