CALGARY EXHIBITION & STAMPEDE REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 2006 AS PIONEERS AND EARLY SETTLERS ESTABLISHED THEMSELVES IN CALGARY, THEY BUILT ON A DISTINCT SET OF VALUES – A CODE OF CONDUCT THAT DEFINED HOW THEY DEALT WITH BUSINESS AND PERSONAL MATTERS. THESE VALUES BECAME THE HEART AND SOUL OF OUR STRONG COMMUNITY. THE CALGARY EXHIBITION & STAMPEDE IS HOME TO THESE VALUES TODAY AND HAS BEEN FOR 120 YEARS. OUR CORE PURPOSE IS TO PRESERVE AND PROMOTE THE WESTERN HERITAGE AND VALUES THAT MAKE OUR COMMUNITY STRONG. THESE WESTERN VALUES GUIDE OUR BUSINESS, OUR CONDUCT, AND OUR DEVELOPMENT. ABOVE ALL THEY HAVE MADE US LOYAL SERVANTS TO THE GOOD HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY. AS WE FACE UNPRECEDENTED CHANGE, THESE VALUES ARE MORE IMPORTANT I humbly ask t hat you take me on your journey. THAN EVER. BECAUSE AT NO OTHER TIME IN OUR HISTORY HAS THE NEED FOR STRONG COMMUNITIES AND STRONG CHARACTER BEEN IN SUCH DEMAND. As a friend. As a memory. But above all as a guide. WE ARE PROUD TO UPHOLD THESE VALUES. PROUD TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS COMMUNITY TODAY. AND PROUD TO HELP BUILD A STRONGER COMMUNITY FOR TOMORROW.
