2 As always our sincere appreciation goes to our invaluable partner, the City of Calgary. Working with Mayor Nenshi, City Council, Dr. Erika Hargesheimer, and Anne Charlton - Parks Director and member of our Board of Governors - makes the work we do throughout Calgary possible. Without the ongoing support of the City of Calgary, we would be unable to make significant contributions, like the Calgary Greenway, to the citizens of this great city. As we move into 2013 we are encouraged and excited by the potential all of our projects and programs present.
We anticipate beginning construction on the final phase of the Greenway, building numerous John Houghton Myrna Dubé playgrounds around the city, expanding our Chairman, Board of Governors Chief Executive Officer Horticultural Program, launching Bio-Energy Park and continuing to support amateur athletes. Thank you all for your continued support.

5 THE CALGARY GREENWAY Major Projects and Programs | The Calgary Greenway
The Calgary Greenway project gained momentum in 2012. Phase 1 is funded and complete and the City has now taken over maintenance. The rail crossing near Memorial Drive SE is outstanding but CN is working with the City and Transport Canada to resolve this as soon as possible.
Phase 2 construction began and is 80% funded. The pathway and spur into Ralph Klein Park was constructed and Greenway signage was installed in Fish Creek Park. The boardwalks and wetland interpretive areas will be constructed over the winter and construction is anticipated to be complete in 2013.
The first Walk-With-Us Festival took place in Phase 1 in June 2012 and was a huge success. More than 1,000 Calgarians came out to the event. A city-wide Greenway event will be planned for 2013 in Phase 2 in partnership with Calgary’s Rotary Clubs and Brookfield Residential Properties.
Ground3 was brought on to prepare a draft alignment of Phase 3. Phase 3 will be the final phase of the project and construction will begin in 2013 in concurrent increments.
When complete, the Calgary Greenway will provide users with 138 km of year-round outdoor destinations available to explore and open to everyone.
7 In 2012, Parks Foundation Calgary welcomed the members of the Calgary Greenway Patrons Council. The Patrons Council members are ambassadors of the project and provide valuable insight based on their experience and expertise.

9 HARVIE PASSAGE AND RIVER PASSAGE PARK Major Projects and Programs | Harvie Passage and River Passage Park
HARVIE PASSAGE After more than ten years of planning, development and hard work, Harvie Passage was finally available for paddlers to use. One of the key partners in the project, Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development, rolled out the safety plan and signage in the spring of 2012. A special thank you to all the volunteers that contributed so much of their time towards this project over the years.
On September 29, 2012, the first ever slalom/kayak race was held at Harvie Passage and was a success. Paddlers now have an accessible training and competition area within the city where they can practice and advance their skills.
Although safer, the Bow is a live river and presents dangers. All Harvie Passage users should wear proper safety equipment and inexperienced paddlers are encouraged to portage this section.
RIVER PASSAGE PARK Management of River Passage Park, the public art installation planned at the old weir overlook, was assumed by the City of Calgary Public Art and Parks departments. Public Art is planning a series of public engagement events around the project by working with residents in Inglewood throughout the construction. Construction is antici- pated to begin in 2013.
11 BIO-ENERGY PARK Major Projects and Programs | Bio-Energy Park
For more than two years, PFC has been working towards initiating a pilot project on a brownfield site in Calgary. In 2012 considerable efforts were put in to moving this project forward. The vision is to create a demonstration, public education, remediation and reclamation research site that has the potential of making a brownfield site into more productive land.
Potential sites were explored and Parks Foundation Calgary will continue to work with stakeholders, researchers and the City to develop a truly innovative park concept.
Key to the success of the project vision is our partnership with Olds College. Olds College has the applied research experience and capabilities necessary to showcase this project as a centre for sustainable development. With a presence in the Calgary area slated for 2013, Olds College will be able to use the site for student and public education.
The Bio-Energy Park Project is exploring the potential of incorporating research and technologies such as soil and water bioremediation, production and testing of organic soil amendments, and the production of bio-energy and biofuels. Our vision is to develop an
innovation centre for earth repair. 13 BUILDING PLAYGROUNDS AND COMMUNITIES Major Projects and Programs | Building Playgrounds and Communities
Parks Foundation Calgary continued to build playgrounds and community capacity across the city this year. In 2012, 23 playgrounds were built valued at over $3.5 million. Since the inception of our grant program in 2009 we have completed 69 play spaces valued at over $9 million dollars.
This year we expanded our grant program to another segment of our population - adults and seniors. Our first fit- ness park was installed in the community of Southview. The new park is in close proximity to Greater Forest Lawn 55+ Society and Bethany Care Centre. Parks Foundation Calgary plans on expanding our Building Playgrounds Program by creating more fitness parks in 2013.
In 2012, we worked in several economically disadvantaged communities including Dover, Whitehorn, Highland Park and Ogden. It was great to see these communities take ownership of their playground projects. At the project in Highland Park, fathers and grandfathers worked together to make their playground project a reality. This year we also had teenagers from Whitehorn volunteer to build two playgrounds – a first for our program!
We continue to receive increasing numbers of inquiries from communities to participate in the program in 2013 and we will continue with this very successful program.
“Highland Park is sincerely thankful for the Parks Foundation grant which allowed us to renew our community playground. Without this grant we would not have been able to undertake this project.” -Anne Naumann, President of the Highland Park Community Association 15 2012 Playground Projects

16 Building Playgrounds and Communities Program Value
The 23 playgrounds built in 2012 were valued at $3.5 million and were possible only because of partnerships. Parks Foundation Calgary brought together the City, corporate and community funders, and volunteers to support communities in the redevelopment of playgrounds. This chart breaks down where the sources of funding for the playgrounds came from and demonstrates the partnerships that make this program so successful.

17 BENCH DEDICATION PROGRAM Major Projects and Programs | Bench Dedication Program
The Bench Dedication Program continues to be a popular service offered by PFC and is only possible by working in partnership with the City of Calgary. In 2012 a total of 53 benches were sponsored by friends, families and colleagues for their loved ones.
A pilot project was initiated at North Glenmore Park and Jim Fish/Rotary Park that switched the cedar benches over to dark red meranti wood. Making the switch will reduce maintenance costs and extend the life of the benches. The pilot was a success and will expand to other parks such as Bowmont Natural Area, South Glenmore Park, Princes’ Island Park and along the Bow River Pathway.
Since its inception in 1990, the Bench Dedication Program has facilitated the sponsorship of 1,084 benches in parks throughout Calgary.
19 SADDLEDOME AMATEUR SPORT GRANT PROGRAM Major Projects and Programs | Saddledome Amateur Sport Grant Program
The partnership between PFC, Calgary Flames and the Saddledome Foundation has been very successful over the years. Since 1987, the program has awarded more than $9 million dollars in grants to over 400 sport groups in the Calgary area. In 2012 there was a 25% increase in the number of new organizations submitting applications demon- strating an increased awareness of the program and its mandate.
One goal the Saddledome Amateur Sport Committee had was to encourage equipment sharing among similar sport groups. An example of this was seen in the $125,000 grant awarded to the Alberta Alpine Ski Association. This grant will be used towards racing and safety equipment that will be shared among 12 ski clubs. Encouraging equip- ment sharing among groups, when appropriate, will continue as well as the ongoing effort to reach out to new sports organizations.
The following tables outline the 15 organizations awarded grants totaling $530,766 in 2012.
ORGANIZATION GRANT AWARDED ORGANIZATION GRANT AWARDED Alberta Alpine Ski Association $125,000 Calgary Rowing Club $40,000 Alberta Horse Trials $20,000 Foothills Nordic Ski Club $65,600 Bowness Community Association $49,000 Glenmore Sailing Club $17,250 Bow Ridge Little League $52,000 Rocky Mountain Diving Club $15,000 Braeside Community Association $33,916 RT Alderman School $10,000 Calgary Bicycle Track League $22,000 Saddleridge Community Association $12,000 Calgary Canoe Club $50,000 University of Calgary Athletics Club $15,000 Calgary Industrial Softball League $4,000 TOTAL $530,766
21 HORTICULTURAL PROGRAM Major Projects and Programs | Horticultural Program
In 2012, the Horticultural Program implemented a new program model which involved the development of gardens and programs at the site of partner organizations. This proved to be a successful approach and resulted in the building of three new garden sites, in addition to the existing sites at Haultain Park and Calgary Rotary Challenger Park.
Gardeners at these sites planted a variety of flowers, shrubs, herbs and vegetables and engaged in activities designed to show ways to use the items they grew. The new model was very well-received and resulted in a total of 185 participants gardening throughout the summer - more than double the previous year. We were able to reach out to so many participants because of the tremendous support from our partner organizations. In 2012 we partnered with: Vantage Enterprises, Calgary Immigrant Women’s Association, Enviros ExCel, Enviros Respite Care Connections, Calgary Housing Company, Alpha House, and Stardale.
The significant expansion of the program was only possible because of the generous support of: The Calgary Foundation, Cenovus Energy, Nexen Inc., Total E&P Inc. Agrium, PennWest Exploration, Imperial Oil and Newalta.
“The young people in our program are often seen as ‘delinquents’ or are called ‘criminals’. This summer they wore different labels... ‘learner’, ‘gardener’, ‘chef’”.
-Melissa Gruber, Manager of Residential Services, Enviros
23 PROJECT GIFT ADMINISTRATION & CONCEPTUAL DRAWING GRANT Major Projects and Programs | Project Gift Administration
PROJECT GIFT ADMINISTRATION Each year we have an increased number of organizations approaching us for Project Gift Administration. This service of managing funds and issuing tax receipts for donations at no-cost to the project is a catalyst for community-led initiatives. A total of 25 organizations were approved for Project Gift Administration in 2012.

Projects can be awarded up to $5,000 to be used towards a conceptual drawing by a landscape architect to capture the vision of the proposed project. In 2012 Parks Foundation Calgary awarded conceptual drawing grants to the following projects:
Bio-Energy Park Pilot Project Huntington Hills Schoolyard Naturalization Southview Outdoor Fitness Park Colonel Walker School Playground Southview Garden Project
25 ART SMITH AMATEUR SPORT LEGACY FUND Major Projects and Programs | Art Smith Amateur Sport Legacy Fund
The Art Smith Amateur Sport Legacy Fund is a partnership between the Parks Foundation Calgary and the Calgary Booster Club. Amateur athletes are selected, based on certain criteria, and awarded bursaries at the Calgary Booster Club’s Sportsman of the Year event. Parks Foundation Calgary and the Calgary Booster Club will continue to grow the endowment fund to provide much needed assistance to amateur athletes.
In 2012, there were 12 athletes who received support from the Art Smith Amateur Sport Legacy Fund: Gillian Bruce - Trampoline Gymnastics Laren McGuire - Long Track Speed Skating Leah Callahan - Freestyle Skiing Charlotte Mitchell - Ski Jumping Grace Gao - Badminton Ellen Pennock - Triathlon Elizabeth Girgulis - Sprint Kayak Phillippe Riopel - Long Track Speed Skating David Greszczyszyn - Skeleton Broklyn Snodgrass - Swimming Zina Kocher - Biathlon Stefan Waples - Long Track Speed Skating

27 JACK LESLIE YOUTH ENVIRONMENT GRANT Major Projects and Programs | Jack Leslie Youth Environment Grant
Henry Wise Wood Senior High School Youth 4 Tap - $1000 Students at Henry Wise Wood High School are setting up an independent Youth4Tap school club to improve education about tap water and help organize and install three water dispensers connected to the cold water line in the school. Additionally they are creating customized plastic reusable bottles to sell within their school. Their goal is to reduce the use of plastic water bottles in their school and ultimately create informed students who will continue to reduce bottled water consumption and promote environmental sustainability.
Wilma Hansen School Leaves and Literature - $1000 Wilma Hansen School has been undertaking several environmental projects within their school, the latest will be creating an indoor garden in the school library. Students will design, plant and ultimately care for the garden, all while promoting literacy within their school by encouraging students to use the space.
