  • 2015 Annual Report
    2015 to the Community to the ANNUAL REPORT LOUGHEED HOUSE NATIONAL & PROVINCIAL HISTORIC SITE & MUSEUM KIRSTIN EVENDEN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REMARKS 2015 was a special year at Lougheed House as we celebrated our 10th anniversary of Lougheed House National & Provincial Historic Site and our 20th Anniversary of the Lougheed House Conservation Society. These anniversaries were an opportunity to reflect on all that the Society has accomplished in creating and growing Lougheed House as a dynamic cultural hub in the heart of our city. 2015 also marked the first year of our 2015-17 Programming and Strategic Initiatives Plan as we rolled out new opportunities to for the community to be a part of Lougheed House. We continued to evolve our organization to ensure its ongoing sustainability, in a time of economic uncertainty in Alberta. As a non-profit organization responsible for ensuring Lougheed House continues to thrive in the future, we raised approximately 41% of revenues through fundraising, donations, earned income and grants. We managed our expenses carefully, invested in key priorities, sourced new development revenues, and pursued a new fundraising initiative. This past year we also continued to reach out to the community to seek feedback on what our visitors want to see when they visit and engage with Lougheed House. Lougheed House works closely with a number of partners to maintain and care for the Historic Site and we are grateful to the Government of Alberta, a key stakeholder and supporter in the care and operation of Lougheed House through the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and the Ministry of Infrastructure.
