3434 || The CS brand has been a well-known community symbol for over a century. While it may stand for Calgary Stampede, it also symbolizes our Community Spirit, fuelled by volunteerism, providing opportunities for youth and a lasting economic impact in our city.

CREATING JOBS: 1,200 year-round employees are joined by more than 3,500 seasonal employees each year to welcome guests from around the world.

ECONOMIC IMPACT: The Calgary Stampede is proud to contribute $540 million in economic impact to Alberta annually, according to a review conducted by the Conference Board of Canada in 2019.

PROMOTING AGRICULTURE: Every year, Stampede agriculture programs connect more than 50,000 youth across Calgary and southern Alberta with our rural roots.

ENCOURAGING VOLUNTEERISM: At the heart of the Calgary Stampede, you’ll find more than 2,500 dedicated volunteers.

EMPOWERING YOUTH: The Calgary Stampede Foundation provides young people with opportunities to discover and pursue their passions through programs like The Young Canadians School of Performing Arts, Calgary Stampede Showband, Band of Outriders and Calgary Stampede Showriders.

WELCOMING THE WORLD: In addition to The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth, Stampede Park hosts more than 1,200 business, tourism, sporting, hospitality and community events every year, welcoming more than four million guests from every corner of the world.
