Earlier in the day, the Calgary Stampede formally announced the annual Rangeland Derby would not happen in 2021. It’s the second year in a row the most lucrative competition in chuckwagon racing was cancelled.
Officially, the Stampede cited safety concerns as the primary reason for the cancellation.
