Covid 19 update

To our Members and fans!

The impact of COVID-19 has been far-reaching and has touched all of us in some way. Our lives, and those of our families and communities, have changed dramatically in the course of a few weeks – and in ways we could have never imagined. For our Cowboy Industry, the damage has been swift and extensive with all events being cancelled. As we move forward, we keep those who suffered loss in our hearts and minds, and maintain a perspective on what truly matters.

At the same time, it is important that we also look ahead and begin preparing for the recovery. I would like to update you on Stony Plain Cowboy Gathering Society focus today – our ongoing support for the Cowboy communities will keep on thru this ordeal.

As at today we are sad to say that the 2020 gathering is Cancelled! As per the Alberta Governments announcement all large gatherings are cancelled for the summer!

But we are implementing free membership for 2020 and look forward to keeping you posted on our plans for 2021 the come back year! As for 2021 you can register as a member for 2021 online and help us keep our membership growing! For $10 you can be a member of the Gathering.

If you register as a member for 2021 you will get your membership decal & our official Gathering decal

Stay Well and Healthy!

Till next time
