The Calgary Stampede Royalty consists of the First Nations Princess and Stampede Princess. Each year the reigning Royals attend hundreds of community and Stampede events as ambassadors of the Calgary Stampede, sharing and celebrating Stampede’s western heritage, cultures and community spirit locally and around the world.
In these roles, the Royalty not only serve their community, but also benefit from professional and personal development as members of these programs. They receive support from their dedicated committees to help uphold their responsibilities and achieve their personal goals during their terms; receive expert coaching and mentorship in a variety of fields, like public speaking and horsemanship; and find belonging in a community committed to making a difference and having fun while doing it.
