ICONIC – Di has been volunteering with the Calgary Stampede for 11 years!

“Volunteering at the Calgary Stampede is iconic because it blends tradition, community spirit, and pride in a way that’s truly unique. It’s not just about the events—it’s about the people, the stories, the friendships, and the shared commitment to celebrating Calgary’s western heritage while welcoming everyone with open arms.”

This National Volunteer Week, we celebrate Di, and all of our Calgary Stampede volunteers for everything they do to give back to our community!

Happy National Pancake Day! 🥞

At the Calgary Stampede, pancakes are more than just breakfast, they’re a time honoured tradition and a symbol of community spirit. For over 100 years, we’ve been flipping thousands of pancakes across Calgary, turning city streets and parking lots into gathering places for our community.

Because nothing brings people together quite like pancakes - and a little Stampede spirit ✨

My wife passed in March. Forty-two years of marriage, and then just... silence.

The house felt wrong. Too quiet. Too still. My daughter kept saying I needed "something to care for." I kept telling her I was fine.

I wasn't fine.

One Sunday, I drove to the Arizona Humane Society just to walk around. No intention of adopting anything. Just needed to be somewhere that wasn't my living room.

The volunteer stopped me near the senior wing. "These two have been here eleven months. We waived their adoption fee last week. Still no takers."

Pepper was solid black with a grey muzzle—eight years old, arthritis in his back legs. Salt was pure white with one brown eye and one blue, deaf as a post, same age. Brothers from the same litter, surrendered when their owner went into hospice care.

Eleven months. In Phoenix. In a concrete run with no air conditioning half the year.

"Why won't anyone take them?" I asked.

The volunteer shrugged. "They're old. They're pitbulls. They come as a package deal. People want puppies."

I watched Pepper slowly lower himself onto the cool concrete. Salt curled up right next to him, pressing his white head against his brother's black shoulder. They fit together like puzzle pieces. Like they'd been doing this their whole lives.

Like me and Lorraine used to sleep.

"How much is the fee?" I asked.

"Sir, I told you—it's waived. Nobody wants—"

"I want them."

She stared at me. "Both of them?"

"You think I'm gonna separate two old brothers who've already lost everything once?"

That was four months ago.

Now Pepper sleeps on Lorraine's side of the bed. Salt sleeps on mine. The house isn't quiet anymore—it's full of snoring and the click of nails on hardwood and two grey-muzzled faces waiting by the door when I come home from the grocery store.

They lost their person. I lost mine.

We found each other.
