The Calgary Stampede, an annual 10-day festival that has served as a dealmaking venue and socializing tradition for Canada’s oil industry, has been canceled this year to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
The event, scheduled for July 3 to 12, will not be held this year, Calgary Stampede President Dana Peers said at a news conference Thursday.
