Save Jasper Heritage Rodeo

I strongly stand behind Jasper on the continuation of being a pro rodeo!

I support the heritage sport of rodeo and believe the Jasper Rodeo is an important part of Alberta’s history.

I feel that this rodeo should be allowed to continue. They are hard working people & I am sure if you checked you would find people from the camp ground either are there for the rodeo or would attend when they find it is on. Also it sounds like it is not breaking any noise bylaws. Ruth McCluskey, Strathmore AB Rodeo Chair.

We need small rodeos kept alive in Alberta to grow the sport...kids need these opportunities!

I was in Jasper some years ago and we lived the rodeo, we thought it was a key part of our experience there together with the beautiful surroundings. I could imagine Jasper without a trademark event such as the rodeo. History cannot be denied

We have went from Peace River to Jasper to volunteer for a few years is a great rodeo and we found peaple from all over the world enjoying something new and wonderfull to see

Please keep our history alive!

I fully support the Jasper Heritage Rodeo for the people that have worked so hard to preserve our heritage and provide entertainment for the local people and all your tourists. I don't think some people understand what kind of man hours and planning it demands of all the volunteers in order to put on a rodeo of this magnitude.

following difficult times, great things will happen

I fully support the Jasper Heritage Pro Rodeo,it is part of our heritage, and has been a great part of the Jasper community for years demonstrating our western heritage. Plus a unique attraction for tourists from all over the world to which in turn attributes to the economy of Jasper. Please keep it going.

Save the rodeo

I believe it is important to keep the Jasper Rodeo alive. It is a beautiful part of our heritage and history of coming west.

Rodeos are a great part of canadian heritage and should continue to be so.

I support the Jasper rodeo and the heritage of the sport.

My husband worked out of Jasper for Skyline Outfitters. Keep the Rodeo and the grounds.

We need to preserve our Western Heritage in Alberta ...How does one person have the power to wipe out nearly a century of rodeo history? There’s thousands of tourists around the world that this was their highlight of their trip to Jasper. Heritage rodeo is western heritage...celebrating our heritage must continue.

There are too many robes getting shut down. Time to keep them alive.

Keep our heritage rodeos

Personally, I find it very distressing that with the stroke of a pen, one person has the power to wipe out nearly a century of rodeo history in Jasper. What's next? Will horses be banned from the Park? Why does one person have this much power? Shouldn't something this momentous at least be put to a public forum? I am tired of people who say they are "fighting for the rights of all cultures" - except for Western culture. For decades now, Western Culture has been under constant attack - we as a people need to stand up for our culture and end this harassment.
