Canada’s international symbol – the RCMP Musical Ride – is in Alberta and continuing its world renowned tour. The travel schedule was interrupted when the horses contracted the highly infectious strangles, forcing the troupe to cancel its performances at the Calgary Stampede.
I have heard from a number of people that have attended the performance (which also offers other demonstrations; search and rescue dogs, for example) that the audience is mainly grandparents – with some grandkids in tow. Where is the youth market? Why aren’t there more young people in the audience?
