Victoria will keep its options open to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games should the bid by Durban, South Africa, go awry.

Last month, Victoria businessman David Black suggested that the city consider throwing its hat in the fake hermes leather handbags ring as an alternative host "if by some quirk of fate" Durban ended up unable or unwilling to proceed.

After Victoria officials met with Black, former Oak Bay mayor Christopher Causton, former University of Victoria coach Ken Shields and elected representatives from 10 local governments, the city has decided to do just that.

"There are way more unknowns than knowns about this proposal, way more," Mayor Lisa Helps said Thursday, adding the consensus at the meeting was that the city might as well say it is interested.

"Then if it comes to them saying, 'OK, it sounds interesting and we're interested in talking to you,' then that's when we would ask the Commonwealth Games Federation all the hard questions."

Those questions, Helps said, would deal with issues such as security, policing and the need for facility upgrades.

Victoria councillors agreed Helps should write a letter to be signed by local mayors in the capital region to the Games federation offering to host 10 core sports of aquatics (swimming and diving), badminton, field hockey, netball (women), squash, athletics, boxing (men), lawn bowls, rugby sevens (men) and weightlifting, subject to agreement of the allocation of costs.

In addition, Victoria would consider selecting other sports it would host, which likely would include rowing, shooting, table tennis, tennis, gymnastics, wrestling, archery, cycling (road and mountain) and triathlon.

Coun. Chris Coleman said when local officials met to discuss the idea, concerns first raised by Victoria about the potential need for facility how much is a hermes birkin handbags upgrades as well as the cost of security to host the games were echoed by others in attendance.

Both Christchurch, new Zealand, and Edinburgh, Scotland, put their names forward as possible backups when Victoria hosted the Commonwealth Games in 1994.
