Happy trails to you

As we bid a fond farewell to another edition of the Calgary Stampede, we’d be remiss if we didn’t extend a hearty thanks to all who supported our parking lot fundraiser.

Over the 10 days of the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth, the John Petropoulos Memorial Fund operated a parking lot at the Erlton campus of Chinook Learning Services, located at 24 28 Ave. S.W.

We charged just $15 for all day parking – the cheapest rate in the area – and we parked hundreds of cars during Stampede, raising thousands of dollars for the JPMF and the Calgary Wolves soccer team.

Funds raised for the JPMF will help support our safety initiatives, which aim to keep first responders safe on the job so they can return home safely to their families after every shift {read more} {read more}

Park it with us this Stampede

We’re putting out the call – “YA-HOOOO!!!!” – and we need to rustle up some helpers this Stampede.

For the second year in a row, we will be operating a parking lot near the Stampede grounds. We will run the lot from July 4-13, during The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth.

The parking lot is located at the Erlton Campus of Chinook Learning Services at 24 28th Ave. S.W., just two blocks from Stampede Park. Access to the lot is available through the alley between 27th and 28th Ave., off Macleod Trail or Erlton Street.
