Menzies Participates in Quebec’s 400th Celebrations with Calgary Stampede

February 11, 2008

OTTAWA – Ted Menzies, Member of Parliament for Macleod and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance participated in events surrounding Quebec’s 400th Anniversary in Quebec City over the weekend.

A team of volunteers from the Calgary Stampede, along with Menzies, travelled to Quebec City, Calgary’s sister city, to help celebrate Quebec’s 400th Anniversary. A Stampede sponsored Pancake Breakfast, BBQ and Dance, along with a truck load of white cowboy hats with sash, were just a few of the special attractions provided by the Calgary Stampede.

“It was a wonderful opportunity to participate in the 400th celebration of Canada’s oldest city.” said Menzies.

“And it was a chance to share the proud tradition of the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth with the people of Quebec and to encourage closer ties between these sister cities.”

“I hope to see those white hats return to Calgary for Stampede events in the future.” continued Menzies.
