Happy Stampede!

Happy Stampede!

Just finished one of my favourite parts of being mayor: riding a horse in the Stampede Parade. Here's my annual picture from atop Garfield (he's been my trusty steed for the last four years). I hope you get a chance to enjoy this amazing city-wide festival with friends and family and the many, many visitors who come from around the world! Of course, there's so much to do with the official Calgary Stampede, but I encourage you to track down your local community pancake breakfast or barbecue and enjoy some western hospitality with your neighbours. I'm looking forward to visiting as many as I can in every corner of Calgary--hopefully I'll see you around as we celebrate what makes this city great.

And, oh yeah: YAHOO!
