Representatives from the federal and provincial governments, the Calgary Stampede and Agrium joined thousands of spectators to celebrate the official opening of the highly anticipated Agrium Western Event Centre in the heart of Stampede Park on June 21st.

The Agrium Centre is a one-of-a-kind facility in Canada and a significant infrastructure project in Stampede history. The ultra-modern centerpiece for western events, exhibitions and sustainable agriculture education is tailored for the needs of animals and western events, creating one of the most unique agricultural showcases in the world.

“We’re thrilled to be part of making the Agrium Western Event Centre a reality at the Calgary Stampede. This is a place to celebrate agriculture and to learn about sustainable farming practices, through the Journey 2050 program, as we work to feed 9 billion people globally by 2050,” said Chuck Magro, president and CEO of Agrium.
