Tribute paid to 19 farm and ranch families at Calgary Stampede
CALGARY — Farmers and ranchers, their livestock and horses, have been the backbone of the Calgary Stampede for more than a hundred years. With that in mind, it’s understandable that the families who represent the true values of farming and ranching should be recognized every year.
BMO Bank of Montreal and the Calgary Stampede have been taking care of the honour.
On Monday (July 8), 19 Alberta families were welcomed to Stampede Park for the 23rd annual BMO Farm Family Awards to celebrate the contributions they have made to the agriculture industry and their community.
John MacAulay, Regional President, Prairies and Northwest Territories Division, BMO Bank of Montreal, met the families to help celebrate their contributions to the rural way of life.
