Aimsio Pancake Dispatch

By Shallan Grisé

pancake_dispatchStampede is an opportunity for Calgarians to break dress code, break routine and break...fast.  With nine days of pancake breakfasts offered around the city, making the most of the flapjack festivities requires careful planning.  Since we love strategic dispatching at Aimsio, we’ve identified the free Stampede breakfasts that we can hit on the way to work everyday. Peruse the list or use the map below to plan your route!

July 7th

Fluor Rope Square’s Chuckwagon Breakfast

8:15 - 10:30 am (daily except Sunday) at Olympic Plaza

Enjoy this breakfast nearly everyday. Big plus: it's from the back of an authentic chuckwagon!

Kent Hehr MP Annual Stampede Breakfast

9:00 - 11:00 am at the Sunalta Community Centre

New location for the 12th anniversary of MP Hehr's breakfast.

Chinatown Stampede Breakfast

Great location — take advantage of the nearby Riverwalk to burn off the maple syrup!
