“We have been working with the event organizers to make sure they don’t impact our water use during this critical time,” Calgary Emergency Management Agency (CEMA) acting chief Coby Duerr said.
“Similar to the 2013 floods, the 2024 Stampede won’t be cancelled, it just might look a little different.”
The city is currently under stage four outdoor water restrictions, which ban all outdoor water use. Voluntary indoor restrictions are also in place, encouraging residents to reduce their water usage at home.
