Visitors to Calgary 's Olympic Plaza were met with rhythmic clanging trying to chisel a commemorative brick out of the ground.

The bricks, upon which are inscribed the names of individuals and families who paid $ 19.88 for each one, were installed as paving stones in the run-up to the 1988 Calgary Winter Games .

Officials have said it would be too expensive and complicated to preserve the bricks and reuse them as part of the public space’s next iteration.
