CALGARY - The Calgary
Stampede is back and kicked off Friday morning with the usual array of floats, bands, horses and dignitaries.
But the first parade since the COVID-19 pandemic was missing one main ingredient from the past - spectators.
“I sat on the horse for about an hour before the parade started, and then the parade started and I said, 'Where are the people?”' said Mayor Naheed Nenshi, who was riding in his 10th parade.
It was Nenshi's last ride. He has said he will not run again in this fall's municipal election.
