The Calgary Stampede has existed as an iconic symbol of volunteerism, community spirit and western values for more than 100 years. We invite our partners to be part of this community by offering the opportunity to connect their brand to a unique and passionate audience. Calgary Stampede sponsors gain access to host clients in premium venues, engage their employees and increase brand loyalty and sales through the alignment of mutual objectives.

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 of our credit facilities, collaboration enables outreach year-round within 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 Calgarians.
The City provided one-third of the funding for the expansion of the BMO Centre, which is being recognized and setting a new standard in becoming 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 programs and facilities through an operating grant agreement of $6.055 million. These funds provided new opportunities for youth to showcase their skills in veterinary science and robotics, along with providing a shared experience for 1.47 million guests from Canada and around the globe at the annual celebration through iconic experiences including the parade, the ArtShow in the Western Oasis, and Indigenous culture in Elbow River Camp and at 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 and Stampede 101, and to specifically direct $250,000 to replace boilers in GMC Stadium and the east section roof of the Big Four, maintaining these public assets and ensuring the safety of guests.
The Province funded one-third of the BMO Centre Expansion Project. Final construction provided what is now a tier-one conference facility the opportunity to host 327 events and attract 47 first-time conferences to Calgary in 2025 and continue to place Alberta on the world stage.
The Government of Canada
The Government of Canada provided support for youth employment via the Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) program totaling $9,334.
The contribution by Infrastructure Canada of one-third matching funds to the $500 million-dollar expansion of the BMO Centre supported the completion to double the capacity. The award-winning space welcomed thousands of guests, including more than 15,000 delegates from 140 countries who attended the 2025 Rotary International Convention.
