Great to see the economic development community in action...
Among the exciting Stampede festivities this week was a familiarity tour (Fam Tour) of iconic Alberta film locations including the pictured John Scott's Ranch (and many others!).
This showcasing of our beautiful province to executives from Amazon, Netflix, Paramount, Skydance, 20th Century Studios, Freemantle and Lionsgate is another of countless examples of how The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth the Calgary Stampede is not just the most fun you can have with your boots on, it's also a great opportunity to do business with the event having a direct economic impact of $282 Million Dollars to the province. Not to mention the future business networking events like this aim to attract.
Thank you Cal B Ques catering for providing lunch and the team at Calgary Economic Development - Lissa and Lisa, Locations scouts Jason and Shauna Nolan, the new Calgary film commissioner Adnaan Wasey and everyone involved for organizing this special event.
