Municipal and provincial politicians say the expansion of the Calgary Stampede will be a boom for the local and the provincial economy.
Groundbreaking for the first phase of the Stampede’s much-anticipated expansion was celebrated Wednesday.
Alberta Gaming Minister Gordon Graydon says the $35 million the province is contributing to the expansion of the roundup centre is money well spent.
Mayor Dave Bronconnier says the expansion will help in the re-vitalization of the eastside of downtown.
