The story of the Stampede – and the story of Calgary – is a legendary story. Full of excitement and emotion, twists and turns, challenges and celebrations. It’s an epic tale that will move you, connect you to this city, and most importantly it’s a story that includes you.
At Sam Centre, our guests are immersed and involved in our ongoing story. From interactive exhibits to energizing experiences, the history of the Stampede comes to life. Here, you don’t just sit back and listen to these stories, you get to help craft the next chapter and become part of the legend. And when you leave Sam Centre, you’ll leave as a member of the Stampede family.
Optimist International is recognized worldwide as the premier volunteer organization that values all youth and helps them develop to their full potential.
