Events, Healthcare Focus of Premier’s Visit to Calgary
CANADA, July 4 - Premier Tim Houston is visiting Calgary today, July 4, to July 7 to advance Nova Scotia’s intent to attract more healthcare innovation and large-scale events to the province.
“Calgary has a strong tradition of hosting world-class events that bring excitement and visitors to the city, and we're always looking at opportunities to host more events in Nova Scotia,” said Premier Houston. “This is also an opportunity to share ideas on other important initiatives, such as healthcare innovation. I look forward to bringing new ideas back home as we continue to build up Nova Scotia.”
Today, the Premier will attend the Calgary Stampede, along with representatives from the upcoming Nova Scotia Stampede that will take place this fall in Truro and Bible Hill. It will be a first-of-its-kind event in Nova Scotia and include professional rodeo events such as saddle bronc riding, bareback riding, bull riding and barrel racing and other gymkhana events (timed horseback competitions focused on speed and agility through obstacle courses). The event will also support hotels, restaurants and other local businesses.
Premier Houston will also meet with Siemens to discuss new MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) technology and robotics for orthopedics, and Hockey Canada to discuss opportunities to bring more world-class events to Nova Scotia.
