Our parking entrance changes because public access to the hill closes. CPA restricts entry to Ramsay hill so that emergency access can be maintained during the fireworks.

Inside the Stampede grounds by the bridge leading into Elbow River Camp. After 10pm, there are 2 shuttles with service into Ramsay. Confirm with your driver (her name should be Andra) that this shuttle is heading to the Ramsay School Lot - not Lot 25.
Returning to the lot after 10pm:
At 10pm the Macdonald entrance closes to pedestrians to respect the residents of Elbow River Camp. Expect our shuttle service from the Weadick Crossing Bridge pick up point to be slower - due to crowds & traffic. It is not uncommon for the shuttle to take 30-45 minutes per trip. The best walking route at this time of night, is to exit via the Erlton entrance (25th Street & MacLeod Trail) which is a 1.3km walk to our lot. Our address: 2102 Ramsay Street SE We are actively working with the Stampede to improve our - After 10pm - shuttle service. Thank you for understanding and for supporting our students!
Why should I park with you?
All funds raised go directly to support our school and kids! The Ramsay school Stampede parking fundraiser allows us to cover school costs which are not covered by the Calgary Board of education. We believe that all students should have equal access to learning enrichments and parking with us allows us to accomplish this. Ramsay school kids thank you for supporting our school!
