Premier Danielle Smith, who was scheduled to be the parade’s honorary marshall, had to cancel her appearances at the Stampede as she remained focused on the wildfire ravaging Jasper.

Meanwhile, Medicine Hat Mayor Linnsie Clark rode in a C8 Chevrolet Corvette and Cypress County Reeve Dan Hamilton rode in the back of a red Chevrolet Camaro.
