Calgary 's Olympic Plaza commemorative bricks were slated for destruction to make way for $660-million overhaul of the plaza and nearby Arts Commons .

After a public outcry, the city reversed course in early December and said they would try to return some bricks to their owners.

The city received 5,105 applications to retrieve the bricks from the plaza, and Jillian Easthope was among them.
