The Banff Centre Annual Report The Banff Centre Annual Report April 2007 - March 2008 The Banff Centre Annual Report Inspiring Creativity April 2007 - March 2008 Message from the Board Chair and the President Creativity and innovation will drive Alberta and Canada’s future. For 75 years, The Banff Centre has supported healthy communities and fuelled our economy by inspiring creativity and fostering innovation. Our multidisciplinary programs provoke thought, spark debate, and embrace new ideas. In doing so, they nurture tomorrow’s artists and leaders and advance our understanding of the world. The Banff Centre’s programs attract exceptional artists and thinkers, and support the creation and presentation of new performance and art works. By encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration, we foster applied research and the development of innovative processes and products within cultural industries. Our Leadership Development programming explores new methodologies, informed by artistic practice and by the Centre’s inspirational location. Our Mountain Culture programs and events celebrate our human connection to mountain landscapes and explore solutions to global environmental concerns. During 2007-08, the Centre completed the first project in our transformational Banff Centre Revitalization Project. Thanks to significant support from the Governments of Alberta and Canada, and generous donations from corporate, private, and foundation supporters, the Campaign for The Banff Centre exceeded our Phase One Goal, raising $122.2 million in support of new facilities and programming and scholarship endowments. The Banff Centre’s focus on the future in 2007-08 did not compromise our attention on the present. The Centre continued to deliver exceptional programming, consistently achieving high participant satisfaction ratings. We carefully stewarded our resources, and for the sixth consecutive year the Centre achieved a positive financial year end, enabling us to deploy our annual operating contingency funds to capital maintenance priorities. Buoyed by these efforts and the support of our donors and investors, Banff Centre programs will continue to provide life-changing learning opportunities for Albertans and Canadians, and our multi-talented alumni will enrich our lives and communities through exceptional art, performance, and leadership. Philip G. Ponting, QC Mary E. Hofstetter Chair, Board of Governors President & CEO Statement of Accountability The Banff Centre’s Annual Report for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2007 was prepared under the Board’s direction in accordance with the Government Accountability Act and ministerial guidelines established pursuant to the Accountability Act.
