Calgary — Following a close competition between seven contestants vying for the role, the Calgary Stampede is pleased to announce Breanna Correia as the 2025 Calgary Stampede Princess!
“The calibre of this year’s competitors was outstanding. The young ladies who put themselves forward in the competition for the ambassadorship are accomplished women who are already leaders in their communities,” says Janelle Fortmuller, Chair, Calgary Stampede Royalty Committee. “The Royalty Committee is proud to have Breanna crowned as the 2025 Calgary Stampede Princess. She shone in her horsemanship, public speaking, and interpersonal skills, making an impact on our judges and the Stampede community alike. Breanna demonstrated a strong understanding of the role and the Stampede organization throughout the competition. The Royalty Committee is excited to see her personal and professional development over the year. We know she will thrive in the honoured role of ambassador of the Calgary Stampede.”
Breanna is a 23-year-old communications student at Mount Royal University in her hometown of Calgary. Her passion for agriculture began at the age of nine when she joined her local 4-H club. Today, she balances her studies with coaching multiple local 4-H clubs and spending as much time outside as possible.
