Calgary mayor panda-ring for feds’ support

Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi has written Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asking for Ottawa’s help in defraying the cost of housing pandas at Calgary’s zoo in two years. Two giant pandas and their progeny are to arrive in 2018 for a fiveyear stint. The project has a price tag of about $30 million. Calgary has committed about $8.2 million and Alberta is kicking in $10 million.
