The University of Calgary’s brand-new parade float was proudly displayed in the 2019 Calgary Stampede Parade in Calgary’s downtown core. Last year’s parade entry encourages all participants from the community to "Let your ideas soar.”

Watch our video featuring UCalgary designer Rich Farr, to find out how the idea behind the parade float came to life. Rich is part of the Creative Studio on the institutional Marketing team.
