Human Rights Statement

The purpose of the Calgary Stampede is to preserve and promote western heritage and values by celebrating the people, the animals, the land, the traditions and the values that make up the unique spirit of the west. The success of the Stampede is founded on the organization’s 111-year history of adjusting to, engaging and reflecting our community on a local, regional and international basis.

We are deeply committed to operating with integrity and do so by caring for our people, respecting the rights of all people, caring for the lands in which we are stewards of and acting responsibly in our operations.

Our commitment to human rights is informed by the Canadian Human Rights Act, the Alberta Human Rights Act, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as well as Federal and Provincial employment standards.

How do we monitor Stampede Park?

What does it mean that the Stampede is COR and ISO 14001 certified?

This means that we hold a Certificate of Recognition (COR) from the Alberta Association for Safety Partnerships. The COR Program was developed to recognize companies with exemplary health and safety programs that meet or exceed an industry-developed standard. All our employees undergo extensive training in health and safety policies and procedures including Safe Operating Practices and Emergency Response. Companies holding ISO 14001 certification have procedures and records in place to ensure consistent evaluation and management of the impacts of their operations on the environment.
