In this time of COVID-19 restrictions, and the temporary closure of ATCO's major partner Spruce Meadows, ATCO devised a unique way to bring the wonder of this world-class sport and entertainment venue to Calgarians' homes. ATCO asked Calgarians to nominate deserving families to enjoy the special "ATCO's Spruce Meadows Mobile Experience". ATCO's transparent mobile trailer rolled up to five lucky families' homes over four days, bringing them the sights, smells and tastes of Spruce Meadows right to their front lawn.
