We invite our partners to be part of this community by offering the opportunity to connect their brand to a unique and passionate audience.

Government Partners
The Calgary Stampede is a not-for-profit community organization that preserves and celebrates our western heritage, cultures and community spirit. With the vision to create a world-class, year-round gathering place for the community, the organization reinvests all revenue into a broad range of programs, our facilities and the talent of over 3,000 volunteers and 1,200 employees who together create our success. The support of our public partners is vital to the continued development of Stampede Park for the benefit of Albertans and visitors from around the world. Our shared vision will enable us to be valued contributors to our community both today and well into the next century.
The City of Calgary
The City of Calgary is a long-time partner of the Calgary Stampede. Along with providing our 100-year lease and support for our credit facilities, collaboration enables outreach year-round in the community to enhance and further civic activities. Various initiatives at Stampede Park and elsewhere engage residents and guests, contributing to the cultural, social, and economic well-being of local citizens.
The City provided one-third of the funding for the expansion of the BMO Centre, which progressed to completion on budget and on time to become the largest convention facility in Western Canada.
The Government of Alberta
The Government of Alberta, through Alberta Arts, Culture and Status of Women, supported several Stampede programs and facilities through an operating grant agreement of $6.055 million. These funds provided new opportunities for youth to showcase their skills in robotics, speech and presentation and through OH Branded Beed Ambassador program, along with a shared experience for a record 1.5 million guests from Canada and around the globe at the annual celebration through iconic events including the parade presented by Suncor, Indigenous hand games in Elbow River Camp presented by Enbridge and the Stampede Powwow. Further, the investment enabled 3,000 volunteers to contribute their time and talent to build community year-round through initiatives such as Aggie Days, Special Olympics hosting and the Field of Crosses, and to specifically direct $250,000 to repair the exterior stairs of The Big Dour Building and to replace the roof on the Agriculture Building, maintaining these public assets and ensuring the safety of guests.
The province funded one-third of the BMO Expansion Project. Construction was completed on schedule with interior finishings completed for the facility's offical opening on June 5, 2024.
The Government of Canada
The Government of Canada provided $16,779 in support for the youth employment at the Calgary Stampede in 2024 via the Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) program. The federal government's Canada Alberta Job Grant (CAJG) program also provided $9,286 towards employment training opportunities throughout the year.
The contribution by Infrastructure Canada of one-third matching funds to the $500 million-dollar expansion of the BMO Centre supported the final interior construction and finishing in time for guests to experience the new spaces at the 2024 Calgary Stampede.
