Canadian Western Agribition (CWA) had a big turnaround in 2022, as they rebounded from two years of cancelled or condensed shows.
One year after announcing an operating loss of $321,000 in the 2021 fiscal year, CWA announced a profit of $83,450 in 2022 and a record setting revenue of $4.74 million.
“The barns were full and people came back,” CWA president Kim Hextall said. “We had 120,000 people come to the show and we set a record number in attendance for the rodeo and having the students back was huge.”
According to CWA, this year’s event contributed to $96.5 million in economic impact.
