Calgarians are invited to attend a special celebrity challenge at the Macleod Trail Co-op’s annual Stampede breakfast to help the Breakfast Club of Canada feed local kids in need. Dave Bohati, Executive Chef of Murietta’s Bar and Grill, will host a special celebrity challenge at which two surprise guests will create two special pancake recipes to be put to the taste test. In honour of the event, the Co-op Community Foundation, Danone Canada and members of the public will make a special donation to allow the Breakfast Club of Canada to open a new school chapter in Calgary that will provide children with a healthy breakfast during the upcoming school year. Stampede breakfasts spotlight the pleasure of a hearty morning meal enjoyed with family and friends, but for too many local children, this ritual is not an everyday reality. The Breakfast Club of Canada serves over 1.3 million school breakfasts to children in need across Alberta every year, at 127 school-based ‘Clubs.’ However, the need remains great: 118 Alberta schools are on the Club’s waiting list. The goal of the July 12 Stampede breakfast is to make a tangible long-term difference in the lives of local children.

Takes place July 5, 6 & 7 and July 12, 13 & 14. It will be a hoot 'n holler good time at Granary Road! Join for games, activities, and fun for the whole family.
