WHITE HAT CEREMONY - THE OFFICIAL WELCOMING OF VISITORS TO CALGARY
 

The White Hat Ceremony has solid roots within Calgary’s community. It is a tradition that originated in the 1950’s when Alderman Don MacKay welcomed visiting dignitaries with white hats. Today the White Hat Ceremony has come to symbolize the warmth of western hospitality and it is performed at the Calgary International Airport by White Hat Volunteers.

If you have guests arriving to Calgary and wish to have them welcomed with a White Hat Ceremony, please contact:
