A group of Calgary teenagers has started a volunteer initiative to get kids up and moving during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dozens of volunteers from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association cleaned up downtown Calgary Wednesday morning after the city’s New Year’s Eve celebrations.

"The Stampede simply can't run without the volunteer base that we have," says promotion committee chair Jordanna Stangeland of the more than 2,300 people who donate time to the Calgary Stampede.
