The Calgary Stampede celebrates the people, the animals, the land, the traditions and the values that make up the unique spirit of the west. The Calgary Stampede contributes to the quality of life in Calgary and southern Alberta through our world-renowned Stampede, year-round facilities, western events and several youth and agriculture programs. Exemplifying the theme We’re Greatest Together, we are a volunteer-supported, not-for-profit community organization that preserves and celebrates our western heritage, cultures and community spirit. All revenue is reinvested into Calgary Stampede programs and facilities.
Our western hospitality and community spirit earned us the Waterstone Award for Canada’s Top 10 Admired Corporate Cultures in the Public Sector category for 2013 and Mediacorp Canada Inc announced the Calgary Stampede as one of Alberta’s Top 65 Employers.
Established in 1890, the Calgary Polo Club is recognized as the oldest polo club in North America. Its legacy is a testimonial to the dedication and the strength of the local polo community, and to the multitude of opportunities the club offers to its members and spectators.
Located just 10 minutes from the city of Calgary, the club occupies 200 acres of land nestled on the door-step of the Rocky Mountain Foothills, in the heart of the Alberta Ranch country. The dedicated staff maintains seven full-size playing fields, an outdoor polo arena, a training ring and hitting cage.
The club is committed to supporting all aspects of polo culture. It takes the development of upcoming players very seriously. The club's Polo Academy provides new players with a horse and the equipment they need to learn and develop their skills. Group and private lessons are offered to meet the individual needs of participants. Junior Polo gives the children of members and supporters the opportunity to nurture their skills and love for the sport.
