ATCO Gas Lost Kids Program

It’s no fun getting lost, so ATCO Gas is here to help!  Make sure you pick up your ATCO Gas Lost Kids bracelet tag from our friendly volunteers at each Stampede entry.  Record your on-Park contact information on the tag, and place the tag on your child.  Then, if you and your child get separated, a Stampede staffer will take your little one to the ATCO Gas Lost Kids Centre, located next to the Agriculture Building, where they’ll be cared for until you can be contacted and reunited.  ATCO Gas - proudly reuniting little cowboys and cowgirls with their parents since 1993.
