The rodeo is unique and features the world’s best competitors and animals, culminating with the world’s largest outdoor rodeo on the final day of Stampede.

Staniloff and his wife Deb Staniloff, celebrate the Calgary Stampede with an annual backyard ‘hoe-down party’ at their home during the final weekend of the Stampede. Attendees this year included investors, executives and senior associates from Superior Lodging Corp., MasterBuilt Hotels, Travelodge Canada, Marriott Canada and many more.
