From an outside point of view, I don't think that Calgary is an international city. When you talk about Canada, people picture Toronto or Montreal. I guess you can say Vancouver is borderline int. city. But that's it, I think the average Joe Global would be hard pressed to come up with a few things about Calgary.
As far as Stampede goes, I have never read about it or seen it on TV neither in Europe nor in Australia. Never met anyone who would even mention it. If it wasn't for this site, I wouldn't know it existed, so IMO it doesn't really help your case.
