In the Community - Community Is: Everywhere

Community is: EVERYWHERE!

Like many we kicked off the summer by reconnecting, exploring and eventing!

We had the opportunity to explore multiple Stampede events throughout the city. The culture, the community and the diversity within our city and province is remarkable. We encourage everyone to take part in as many different community events as possible…it is an amazing way to connect and learn about each other.

We kicked off Stampede with the amazing Alnoor Damji, at the Ismaili Muslim Communities StampEID Breakfast. Great speeches, Culture, Food, and it was a day full of celebrating community. And an opportunity for us to learn about the “festival of sacrifice” EID.

“In true Canadian pluralistic fashion, the Ismaili Muslim Community marked this year’s concurrence of The Calgary Stampede by treating and welcoming guests from far and wide to EidAlAdha (Islamic holiday, also known as "Festival of Sacrifice," is often marked by communal prayers, large social gatherings and giving to those in need) by hosting a special 25th Anniversary #StampEid Breakfast!” - Alnoor Damji Alnoor Damji & Saira Subzali

The Stampede Rodeo!

What a great experience this was, we got to sit inside, eat great food and watch multiple events. Bulls and horses were bucking, cowboys and girls were racing, and everyone there was proud to be apart of the greatest show on earth! We highly recommend going to see a rodeo! (At the Stampede or throughout Alberta!)

The Stampede City Progress Club and Fab Events hosted the Bull Shooters Breakfast on July 12, 2022. It was a morning filled with live music, games, food, networking and just pure Stampede fun!

Fab Events is an amazing event company that supports multiple different charities within the city. Make sure to check out their up-andcoming events! Event Coordination - FAB Events Inc.

One Of the greatest community Stampede BBQ’s you can attend is The Pattison Stampede BBQ. It was a great display of community, Stampede culture and a showcase of everything Pattison!

The performance from the Calgary Police Services Pipe Band was a spectacular performance of drums, bagpipes and dancing. A perfect display of community and music. Find out more about the CPS Pipe Band here: CPS PIPE BAND - Home
