## Resource

In Ponoka, the annual Stampede parade turned into a vibrant celebration of community spirit, where Alberta and Canadian flags waved side by side and cheers for candy outshone any political noise. Amid national debates over Alberta’s future, locals like Margarete King and Moekie McMillan chose to focus on tradition, togetherness, and fun—proving that even in tense times, a parade can bring people together, one float, one barbecue, and one shared moment at a time.
