This event is a celebration of Alberta’s western past and, as such, the Stampede has continually encouraged its attendees to dress up in Western (cowboy) attire in order to (re)capture the Western spirit. The cowboy has unremittingly been held up as an exceptional model of hegemonic masculinity, which, in turn, is celebrated and reinforced each year during the Stampede’s live action performances. A study was then conducted on this form of masculinity by interviewing local males who use the attire to construct a short-term dominant masculine identity for the ten days in direct contrast to their daily normal lives.

Celebrating Community
CELEBRATING COMMUNITY 100 Years of the Calgary Stampede In 2012, we celebrated much more than our Centennial. We celebrated the early mornings and late nights of our volunteers; the generosity of our donors; the enthusiasm of our visitors. We honoured the dedication of crowds that brave the downpours and blazing heat. The pride of a winning cowboy. And the dignity of a losing one. We celebrated the amazement in children seeing life in a whole new way. And the timeless bond between people and animal. We rode, dressed, dined, toasted and two-stepped. We did it for a young, energetic city that loves to gather. We realized the free spirit, the cowboy spirit, within us all. And we rode alongside the great characters within this epic, one-hundred-year story. In our 100th year, we celebrated the future of our community. One bound together by a vital, collective spirit. One fueled by the western values that grow more relevant in a changing and challenging world. Above all we celebrated our potential, knowing that we will always be Greatest Together.

Live with integrity. Make it right.” We did just that in 2009, despite a global economic downturn. For our volunteers, our employees and our community partners it was certainly a year of which to be proud. We enjoyed many “firsts” in 2009: In May there was a capacity crowd at the Grandstand for the only Canadian stop on the tour of the Red Bull X-Fighters, the world’s best free-style motocross series. BMO became a Champion-level sponsor in June with the official opening of the Roundup Centre expansion. The entire facility, with a capacity of 265,000 square feet, is now called the BMO Centre and BMO joins our other Champion-level sponsors: Bell, Budweiser, Coca-Cola, Enmax, GMC and TransAlta. The first vehicular cable-stay bridge in Alberta was completed in June.

Social History of Elbow Park from Elbowpark.Com
Social History of Elbow Park From elbowpark.com 1. Introduction Elbow Park began its history as an upper middle class suburb of Calgary, one of many neighbourhoods created by the explosive growth of the city shortly before World War One. Although most of the area comprising modern Elbow Park was homesteaded in the early 1880s, it was left undeveloped until 1907. The City of Calgary annexed the area that year, and real estate developer Freddy Lowes and his associates bought and surveyed it. Lowes intended to create an exclusive residential suburb with spacious lots and lovely homes, situated on the pleasant banks of the Elbow River. The first few houses were built in 1909, including Lowes’ own residence. Construction began in earnest the following year. The boom in Calgary was short lived and ended with World War One. By then the neighbourhood of Elbow Park was firmly established as one of the city’s first purpose designed residential suburbs and one of the last to be built before the war. This is a social history of Elbow Park. In its simplest terms, the social history of a place can be defined as the story of the people who lived there. It can uncover historically significant individuals who resided in the neighbourhood. It can try to understand the demographic character of the residents: how long they lived there, their age, the size of their families, their income, or their occupations. It can elucidate aspects of their culture, lifestyle, religious and political beliefs and outlook on the world. This study documents the social character of Elbow Park through its demographics and their change over time, and provides a biographical overview of its residents.
