CALGARY — The Calgary Stampede is back and set to kick off today with its trademark parade, in it first full event since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
The Stampede was cancelled in 2020 — the first time in its 100-plus-year history.
A scaled down event was held last year with many pandemic precautions in place, including COVID-19 rapid testing at its main tents.
There was also a shortened parade but without spectators.
