'I'm focused on continuing to ensure that accountability is provided to the public and that this organization is being transparent, but also on reconciliation with the victims.'
The federal government has not provided ongoing funding to the Stampede, although during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 and 2022 it did provide $14 million in grants.
The abuse dates back to at least 1992. Joel Cowley, Calgary Stampede chief executive officer, has said the organization should have learned about and acted on allegations much earlier than it did. “I’m focused on continuing to ensure that accountability is provided to the public and that this organization is being transparent, but also on reconciliation with the victims.”
