Nothing illustrates the history and growth of the Calgary "Stampede with more accuracy and clarity than the annual posters
- Lorne Stoute, The Canadian Cattleman, June 1946
Each year the Calgary Stampede creates a new poster to promote its celebration of western culture and tradition. Collectively, these posters portray 10 decades of vibrant and colourful history of both the Calgary Stampede and of life in southern Alberta.
The Calgary Stampede Historical Committee in association with the Calgary Stampede Foundation is creating a permanent home for a public exhibition of these posters. The Parade of Historical Posters will open in June 2003 at Stampede Park."
