ever had a moment where you wish you had a stunt double to fill in for you at a work event or other life occasion?

Today is that day for me. I have 4 large groups on a Saddledome tour, 1 is for employee appreciation.

That’s A LOT public speaking AND a 30,000 step day. OUCH 😓

Been a busy 3 weeks of events for me.
World Rotary Convention, Stampede + public speaking, aka Saddledome tours

Home from Dome early & it’s wet & dreary out, so decided to do something unique & fun with this beautiful lady

We’re at the Dollar Store getting movie snacks. LOL

Back in our Calgary Saddledome.
SO different being in here with no exciting @calgarystampede action outside

BUT we’re full steam ahead now for #NHL hockey. A few weeks ice goes in. Crews are preparing boards

Here doing fun tours. Still meeting ppl from all over 🌎
#Flames

Cool & pouring rain outside. Hard to forget my rescued Husky girls had to survive roaming the streets, searching for food & trying to stay dry

Seeing young Aurora stealing my TV futon and Juno curled up comfy & safe, warms my heart more than words can say 🐾❤️ #RescueDogs #Husky

I’m sure going to miss this 9 days of @calgarystampede Saddledome working view.

On Wed. when I return. It will be a very different empty Dome view, as our maintenance crews get ready for the up coming busy #NHL hockey season

It’s events like this that makes our Dome the busiest in Canada

No better way to start my Saddledome work day like going on a walk with this beautiful lady & our Husky girls. They saw a baby bunny & wanted a chase. LOL

Working my last day of @calgarystampede for 2025.
SO SAD 😞 The events guy in me loves all the excitement.
#Yyc #Yahoo

The patriotic kid in me couldn’t stop videoing 😂
Here is some more if you’re a far away friend. Enjoy 😉

The helicopter picks up the flag close to @calgarystampede park along the river on an open field. These 2 videos are of take off & landing.

True North Strong & Free 🇨🇦

Some BTS. Today is what we call a “dark day” it’s when no events happen in our Saddledome. For the 9 days, events in the Dome is ALL #Stampede shows. NOT Flames 🔥

WE open the Dome for visitors to see inside our #Olympic / #NHL arena. Only a few in the world. Calgary is lucky

Such a sad lonely dinner for only 1 in our Iconic #NHL #Olympics arena with an amazing view of @calgarystampede park, sitting up high in Saddledome Lounge

Delicious $5 brisket dinner from our Flames 🔥 team cafeteria, with a priceless job perk view.

All by myself. LOL

Not my usual Saddledome events day. SADLY. I’ll miss this view of the Stampede grounds from Dome steps. A few years, this iconic arena will be gone

Dome is open to visitors from around the world attending @calgarystampede. My team and I are here to welcome them
@TourismCalgary

On my way home from working @calgarystampede. I saw the helicopter that flys over the Grandstand show with the Canadian 🇨🇦

Seeing this really made me appreciate our beautiful & peaceful Canadian freedom. Only in Canada is a military helicopter used for show & not for harm

During @CalgarySurge basketball 🏀 game in our Olympic NHL Saddledome. This was my tea time break view
@ halftime.

WOW @calgarystampede Grand Stand was full for the evening Chucks & show
#CountryWestern #Yahoo #NBA #CalgaryStampede

WOW! 😮
Here is something you don’t see often in our Yyc Saddledome
@CalgarySurge Pro. basketball 🏀 playing a game.
Old Dome looks so different from the usual hockey 🥅 I’m use to working

Only a few of the 32 #NHL arenas have the honor of hosting basketball 🏀 games
#NBA

Thank you. I appreciate it

WOW. Our old Saddledome skyline view will be UNRECOGNIZABLE in a few short years

3 new hotels coming to Calgary, on @calgarystampede park. Open in 2028, 2029, and 2030.

The plans include 2 towers set to be
THE
(tallest in Western Canada)

Be proud #Yyc our city is booming

My far away tour visitors get to see a fast & fun BTS #Saddledome as we get ready for all the up coming fun @calgarystampede Dome shows.

#ShaniaTwain concert
My Favorite the Indigenous PowWow competition. Love all the cultural & beautiful regalia

It’s SO quiet in here #Yyc

With #CanadaDay celebrations all done. It’s back to business as usual here on @calgarystampede park & us #Saddledome Peeps are busy getting ready for @calstampeders also

Last day of tours for June/25. A few more for July & Aug. then it’s get ready for NHL WHL AHL hockey season

HAPPY CANADA

#Yyc #NHL #Country #rodeo

You have a nice view.

More about Arin.
My young Ladd rescued him from an agency who finds suitable barns or work places for stray farm cats. He was young AND wild. Wanted nothing to do with humans. NOW, he is an attention seeking lion, can’t get work done. YIKES

He is now spoiled, with love

Myla & I are enjoying a relaxing weekend up @ our farm. She is planting 🍅 usually she is barefoot in the garden

I was changing the oil in mom’s car, when Arin, a barn cat we rescued, had to supervise me. Rescued him as a kitten. He now lives in the house heated garage 😂

This is AWESOME!
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 2025 NBA Most Valuable Player, is a proud Canadian, AND a fan of #Flames #12 our #JaromeIginla

How cool is that.
Be proud Calgary.

Another early start day for me. I now know how the reg morning working world operates.
This is day 4 of @Rotary Convention for me getting up @ 5AM YIKES 😬

I’m soaking this #Olympic type event in with our Saddledome gone in 2 yrs. Morning coffee with my #Yyc @ParachutesP mug

working #rotaryconvention in our #NHL #Flames #Saddledome.Last time they were here,was 1988. During our #WinterOlympics. Amazing having thousands of people from 120 countries visiting #calgary & @calgarystampede park.

For The First Time In History, the Reigning NBA, NHL, and MLB, Finals/Playoffs MVPs are all Canadian 🇨🇦

Nice reading this with all the stuff said about us Canadians, recently.

LOVE my country of #Canada

#GoodMorning #Calgary day 2 of me working @Rotary #Convention

Very early morning for me meeting ppl from 120 countries here in our #Olympic #Saddledome. Capacity crowd in here. I have NEVER worked an event with so many folks here from all over the 🌎 so fun chatting with them
