Stampede Info with Dave McIvor - Masks and Evening Entertainment, Stampede Food with Daily Hive’s Hanna McLean, Chinook Stampede Breakfast News and Blood Donors Needed

Welcome to the MWSA Podcast for Friday, July 9.

After a two year hiatus the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth is back. While this year’s edition of The Calgary Stampede may look a little different, the Parade made its return, and our Dave McIvor was live at Stampede Park to set the scene for us.

The night before Parade Day is always “Sneak-a-Peek” at the Stampede midway. Hanna McLean from “The Daily Hive” has a review of "Sneak-A-Peek."

One “can’t miss” tradition during Stampede for the past 60 years, has been the Chinook Centre Pancake Breakfast. That tradition continues, but with a "twist" this year. We get Paige O’Neill, the General Manager of CF Chinook Centre has the details.

And, there’s a shortage of blood and blood products in Calgary and Alberta this summer. We speak with Canadian Blood Services to find out what’s behind the increased need, and what you can do, to help.
