“I consider it to be Canada’s greatest race and I think that it’s something that Calgarians and Albertans should be tremendously proud of.”
“It’s the combination of those two men that helped put the chuckwagon races on, brought them to the public and, for whatever reason, it captured the imagination and just built from there.”

Known for jumping in the back of chuckwagons to interview the winning drivers of heats during television broadcasts , Melville also serves as colour commentator on radio broadcasts during the World Professional Chuckwagon Association season.Article content While Melville can talk in detail about the history of what’s now known as the Cowboys Rangeland Derby, he’s even more passionate to tell anybody who will listen that it was the chuckwagon drivers who first brought pancake breakfasts to the masses in downtown Calgary back in 1923.
“These morning Stampedes would draw 10,000 people,” said Melville. “Basically, they cooked the pancakes. They offered them butter and syrup. They told them whatever kind of story they wanted to hear. They basically invited the crowd in to share: ‘Who wants ’em? Who’s hungry?’
