Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s annual Stampede breakfast draws 4,000 people
It was Smith’s second annual appearance at the traditional event. This year, she said, the Stampede feels different.Smith said people are embracing the 10-day festival and rodeo as a chance to do business and honour the province’s heritage at its numerous events.
The premier’s office said about 3,600 people were fed Monday and about 4,000 people were in attendance. Staff said it was the largest turnout in over a decade. Smith, speaking to the breakfast crowd, celebrated the city emerging from water use restrictions after a catastrophic water main break a month ago. Crews fixed the breach and a state of emergency was lifted just in time for the Stampede.
Smith thanked city officials and workers for their efforts, San Diego’s water authority for helping provide replacement pipe and Calgarians for being community-minded.
