The purpose of this petition is to ask the federal governmant of Canada to create a National Day of the Cowboy (NDOC).
The iconic image of the cowboy is something that has been woven into Canada's history since the settleing of the prairies. Today there are many who still live and breathe the cowboy lifestyle. Some are pro-rodeo athletes, many are ranchers and farmers, but they come from all across our great country and share in a strong, identifiable culture.
The following people listed on this petition feel that the creation of a National Day of the Cowboy will help bring awareness to the hard work and sacrifice cowboys past and present have put into making this nation great as well as their role in helping to preserve our past.

The steady growth of this initiative reflects a profound respect for the enduring contributions that our ranching and farming communities bring to the Canadian identity. We have surpassed the initial expectations for this project and the momentum confirms that the legacy of the cowboy remains vibrant across our country.

Too much history being forgotten these days. Lets keep the western spirit alive for the younger generations.
Living in Alberta I see how much this heritage means to people. It is part of who we are. Love this idea!
good idea. western canada needs this
Cowboys built this country from the ground up. Give them the recognition they deserve.
About time we recognize the hard work these folks do. Always out there in the cold and heat taking care of the land. Lets make it happen.
