CATwo Winter Olympians, Mikael Kingsbury and Courtney Sarault, are participating in the Calgary Stampede parade, trading their athletic gear for western-style costumes. The event marks the beginning of 10 days of western-themed celebrations in Calgary. Kingsbury, a mogul skier from Quebec, admits he is a novice rider but is eager to learn. Sarault, a short track speedskater from New Brunswick, expressed excitement about her western-themed outfit. The Calgary Stampede, which runs until July 12, contributes significantly to the local economy, generating approximately $389 million annually for Alberta, with most of that benefit concentrated in Calgary. The event draws over one million visitors yearly, though attendance goals are not set due to uncontrollable factors such as weather and the broader economy. Calgary Mayor Jeromy Farkas noted that while the Stampede is politically significant, it is not focused on politics itself.
