About us
The Calgary Stampede celebrates the people, the animals, the land, the traditions and the values that make up the unique spirit of the west. The Calgary Stampede contributes to the quality of life in Calgary and southern Alberta through our world-renowned Stampede, year-round facilities, western events and several youth and agriculture programs. Exemplifying the theme We’re Greatest Together, we are a volunteer-supported, not-for-profit community organization that preserves and celebrates our western heritage, cultures and community spirit. All revenue is reinvested into Calgary Stampede programs and facilities. Our western hospitality and community spirit earned us the Waterstone Award for Canada’s Top 10 Admired Corporate Cultures in the Public Sector category for 2013 and Mediacorp Canada Inc announced the Calgary Stampede as one of Alberta’s Top 65 Employers.

Taking roughly 20 months to assemble, the collection represents a contemporary interpretation of Southern Alberta’s diverse landscape, cultures, and lifestyles.

“For well over 100 years, Stampede Park has been a gathering place for our community as well as for visitors from around the world. When we first explored the idea of an expanded BMO Centre, we did so with the vision of creating a world-class facility that would offer Calgarians, southern Albertans and guests to our city a greater way to gather,” says Joel Cowley, CEO of the Calgary Stampede. “Since opening, the local and global response has been tremendous, with more than 500 conventions and events booked, including large-scale events that we weren’t previously able to accommodate.” Calgary Municipal Land Corporation | BMO | Tourism Calgary
Behind The Build: Delivering Western Canada's Largest Convention Centre We're reflecting on our largest build to-date: the $500 million, 565,000 square foot BMO Centre expansion, a catalyst project in Calgary's Culture + Entertainment District. CMLC’s success in delivering major infrastructure projects and vertical builds over the past 17 years is rooted in our innovative approach, meticulous planning, and commitment to community building.

At the Calgary Stampede, you'll often hear us saying 'See something, say something." Well, that's just what one Calgary Stampede employee did when he saw a duckling stuck in a sewer near Youth Campus on Stampede Park earlier this month. With all hands on deck, the employees rescued the duckling in less than an hour! The quick action of these employees is a representation of the care taken to support biodiversity and the ecosystem on Stampede Park. We were happy to see the duckling reuniting with mom and siblings as they headed to the Bow River for a peaceful float.

Yesterday we had the honour of awarding the Calgary Stampede Lotteries winners with their prizes. The success of the 2024 Calgary Stampede Lotteries would not be possible without the support of our community, Volunteers, sponsors and our service club partners: Kinsmen Club of Calgary, Rotary Club of Calgary at Stampede Park and the Calgary Marching Show Band Association. Through the work of these organizations, and you, we’re able to help build community and ensure that everyone has an opportunity to be their Greatest. We look forward to announcing the total 2024 donation amounts soon!
