Canadian Rockies Gay Rodeo Association
Board of Directors 2025
CRGRA is a Calgary based not-for-profit society that is 100% volunteer run organization.
The Canadian Rockies Rodeo North (CRRN) is an International Gay Rodeo Association (IGRA) sanctioned event encompassing 20 associations and 4000 members worldwide and is the only LGBTQ rodeo held outside the United States. Our focus is to uphold the IGRA tradition of giving back to the communities we live in by our charitable donations. We are happy to bring gay rodeo to Canada.
We proudly boast the most unique rodeo on the IGRA circuit. We are able to offer all our events at one location and this year are excited to hold our rodeo at the Nutrien Western Event Centre at Stampede Park in downtown Calgary. This makes our event a favourite destination for many of the LGBTQ rodeo contestants and spectators. It is truly an international event with people coming from all corners of the globe to attend.
COME ALONG FOR THE RIDE... VOLUNTEER!
