CALGARY The Calgary Stampede is going ahead on schedule this month, but guests and businesses are expected to notice a marked difference between this year s event and the last one, held prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Officials say they ve implemented a plan filled with enhanced sanitization procedures, distancing between guests and other health measures to protect against potential outbreaks. The event will also show how Calgarians are accepting the new reality of fewer health restrictions, tourism officials say. It’s going to be interesting to see because everyone is still finding their level of comfort with the restrictions being lifted and with the things and their vaccinations, said Cassandra McAuley, vice-president of communications and stakeholder engagement with Tourism Calgary.
