The rodeo is live streamed in the Cabaret Corral at performance times.

We are excited to announce an all-new “Cabaret Corral” country music entertainment lineup. This year features all Canadian artists on the TD Cabaret Stage, FREE for all ages to enjoy, including:


Aaron Pritchett’s legacy continues to be unstoppable. His authentic desire to connect with his fans, whether it be onstage, via his digital platforms, in person or through his music, has sustained and grown a robust and loyal fanbase for 2 decades. Pritchett has charted anthems like “Dirt Road In ‘Em” (CERTIFIED GOLD), “Let’s Get Rowdy,” “Hold My Beer (Certified GOLD),” and also appealed to the softer side with powerful hits like “Done You Wrong,” and his top 5 smash – “When A Momma’s Boy Meets A Daddy’s Girl.” Pritchett’s single “Better When I Do” hit #1 on the Canadian Country radio charts, and the brand new single ‘Not Enough You’ is available on all streaming platforms now.

 

Cory Marks’ debut album ‘Who I Am’ has been garnering tremendous attention here in Canada and across the globe for its signature blend of hard-hitting anthems and deep, soulful, tracks – and along with over 100 million streams world-wide, it has now been nominated for CCMA ‘Alternative Country Album of the Year.’ The album also features the stand-out track ‘Drive,’ which Billboard coined ‘the feel-good country hit of the summer,’ and current single now making noise on the Canadian Country Charts, ‘Blame it on the Double.’

Alberta-based, the award-winning country artist Trevor Panczak has gained friends and supporters through his two top-50 hits from his full length album ‘Where I Go to Come Back.’ The popular and critically acclaimed single ‘Cheap Shades’, and the upbeat and affectionate ‘For a Girl’ both represent Trevor’s affinity for material that is simple, but not simplistic – songs that are laden with the sort of sentimental imagery that makes any listener smile with a sense of familiarity and recognition.

Dan Davidson exploded onto the Canadian country scene to became arguably the Indie story of 2016/2017 as his single ‘Found’ rocketed up the charts and he became the #1 charting Indie artist in Canada. Dan has created undeniable momentum in the last few years, with 6 CCMA nominations, 10 ACMA awards, a gold record, a number 1 selling Canadian song and record, top 20 charting numbers and hundreds of performances.

Official statement from Premier Danielle Smith and Energy Minister Brian Jean on the start-up of the Trans Mountain Pipeline

Published on

Alberta is celebrating an important achievement for the energy industry – the start-up of the twinned Trans Mountain pipeline. It’s great news Albertans and Canadians as this will welcome a new era of prosperity and economic growth. The completion of TMX is monumental for Alberta, since this will significantly increase our province’s output. It will triple the capacity of the original pipeline to now carry 890,000 barrels per day of crude oil from Alberta’s oil sands to British Columbia’s Pacific Coast.
We are excited that Canada’s biggest and newest oil pipeline in more than a decade, can now bring oil from Edmonton to tide water in B.C. This will allow us to get our energy resources to Pacific markets, including Washington State and California, and Asian markets like Japan, South Korea, China, and India. Alberta now has new energy customers and tankers with Alberta oil will be unloading in China and India in the next few months.
For Alberta this is a game-changer, the world needs more reliably and sustainably sourced Alberta energy, not less. World demand for oil and gas resources will continue in the decades ahead and the new pipeline expansion will give us the opportunity to meet global energy demands and increase North American and global energy security and help remove the issues of energy poverty in other parts of the world.
Analysts are predicting the price differential on Canadian crude oil will narrow resulting in many millions of extra government revenues, which will help fund important programs like health, education, and social services – the things Albertans rely on. TMX will also result in billions of dollars of economic prosperity for Albertans, Indigenous communities and Canadians and create well-paying jobs throughout Canada.
Our province wants to congratulate the Trans Mountain Corporation for its tenacity to have completed this long awaited and much needed energy infrastructure, and to thank the more than 30,000 dedicated, skilled workers whose efforts made this extraordinary project a reality. The province also wants to thank the Federal Government for seeing this project through. This is a great example of an area where the provincial and federal government can cooperate and work together for the benefit of Albertans and all Canadians.

Protecting the right to vote for Canadian citizens: Minister McIver

Published on

Minister of Municipal Affairs Ric McIver issued the following statement in response to Calgary City Council’s vote to extend the right to vote to permanent residents:

“Yesterday, Calgary city council passed a motion advocating for permanent residents to be extended the right to vote in civic elections. Alberta’s government has been clear since the beginning: only Canadian citizens are able to vote in civic elections. That will not be changing.

“The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms affirms the right of every Canadian citizen to vote and to run as a candidate. This right extends to voters in municipal, provincial and federal elections.

“Protecting our democracy is of the utmost importance. Our provincial election legislation, like the Local Authorities Elections Act, has also been clear since its inception that voting is a right of Canadian citizens.

“Alberta’s government is also ensuring that voting is accessible for more Albertans. The Municipal Affairs Statutes Amendment Act proposes to enable special ballot access for any voter who requests it, without having to provide any specific reason such as physical disability, absence from the municipality or working for the municipal election. The ministries of Seniors, Community and Social Services and Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction are also making it easier for individuals to obtain the identification Albertans need for a variety of services, including the ability to cast a ballot.

“Our government will continue to protect the integrity of our elections and make sure voting is accessible for all Albertans who are Canadian citizens.”
