ROTARY/MATTAMY GREENWAY
Last year was another very successful one for the Rotary/
Mattamy Greenway, our world-class, 138 kilometre
giant “wheel” of pathways and parks that will encircle
Calgary.
Parks Foundation Calgary’s largest project ever is
now approximately 80% complete, with 2014’s final
construction work on Phase 2 (please see map on page
11).
At completion, the three-phased Greenway will tie
together over 50 communities and more than 400,000
citizens. Most importantly, it will offer free, one-of-akind outdoor recreational activities for every Calgarian,
every day of the year.
At a total cost of $60 million, the Greenway has been a
remarkable collaboration with government, corporate
and individual supporters.
>
The Jim Davidson Bark & Play Park, located in Auburn
Bay, was also substantially completed in 2014 with
areas fenced to allow for the proper establishment of
newly installed grasses. The off leash dog park will be
opened this year and is sure to be a huge attraction for
community residents and their pet companions.
The 2015 construction season will see continued efforts
by all members of the Greenway team to reach our
completion target in 2016.
Because of title sponsor Mattamy Homes’ acceleration
of its $5 million contribution — and new partners coming
on board for the third and final phase — contracts are
already in place for work that will see 90% of the project
finished by the end of this year (please see map on
page 12).
Besides our two title partners — the Rotary Clubs of
Calgary and Cochrane and Mattamy Homes — we are
fortunate to have the support of many of Calgary’s largest
residential developers, leading energy companies and
all levels of government.
Parks Foundation Calgary hosted two Rotary/Mattamy
Greenway events in 2014, one in May and another in
October. Both high profile events were well attended by
local residents of Auburn Bay, Cranston and Mahogany.
They also served to thank contributors to the Greenway,
including community land developers Brookfield
Residential and Hopewell Residential who have included
pathways and specialty parks (like the TransCanada
outdoor fitness facility) within their neighbourhoods.
Once again, we received positive media coverage for
both events, on television and in newspapers.

BUILDING PLAYGROUNDS AND
COMMUNITIES (BPC)
In 2014, we are pleased to report that our BPC program
helped 15 communities to complete their projects
including 14 playgrounds and one adult fitness park.
The program continues to help communities not only
with grant funding but also with support services such
as accounting, tax receipts, and assistance with the
playground planning process. The program’s continued
success is due to its unique ability to leverage corporate,
government and grant funding. In partnership with the
communities, the program has engaged more than 1,000
volunteers to help build the play/fitness structures.
This year, we reached a very significant milestone in the
Building Playgrounds and Communities Program. Since
its inception in 2009, the program has now assisted 100
communities to complete their projects in the Calgary
area at a value of over $15 million. Located in both city
and school parks, these facilities have since become
gathering points for communities and their families.
Parks Foundation Calgary would like to thank all of the
government, corporate and community partners that
supported the program over the last five years. Without
15
this support the program would not have been able to
achieve this very significant milestone.
Community-led projects completed with the help
of Project Gift Administration and/or the Building
Playgrounds and Communities Program in 2014:
• Applewood Playground Expansion
• Arbour Ridge Park Playground
• Collingwood School Playground

with memorial benches. In 2014, a total of 40 benches
were sponsored in Calgary parks and pathways.

dark red meranti wood in order to reduce maintenance
costs and extend the life of benches. Additionally, Parks
Foundation Calgary continues to work with sponsors
and the City of Calgary to replace and relocate benches
affected by the 2013 June floods.
The Bench Dedication Program continued with the
2012/13 project of switching cedar benches over to

BIO-ENERGY PARK
The proposed Bio-Energy Park would strive to develop a completely sustainable living building – one of only a
handful in the world. This world class research and public education park would include biological remediation
processes that could be transferable to multiple brown field sites in Alberta, Canada and possibly internationally.
Parks Foundation Calgary has been working with the completed Master Plan, funded by the City of Calgary Innovation
Fund and an anonymous donor, to have the project established at the Old Refinery Park site. In 2014, a PFC Board
sub-committee was developed to oversee the development of the project. PFC worked with numerous stakeholders
through the Stakeholder and Technical Committees and has engaged numerous new stakeholders to aid the project
design development.
Research Chairs from Queen’s University and the Royal Military College have shown significant interest in the project
as a possible test site for their innovative research that uses plants in the remediation process of contaminated sites.
The Research Chairs have helped with grant applications and the analysis of the soil contamination at the Old Refinery
Park site.
During the course of the year many major grant applications have been submitted including: a full project proposal
to the Canada Foundation for Innovation, as well as a complex Expression of Interest to Climate Change and Emissions
Management Corporation (CCEMC). Results are still pending. The Bio-Energy Park project will be considered as a
future initiative towards the end of this decade.

THE JOHN CURRIE AMATEUR
SPORT LEGACY FUND
In 1983, Calgary hosted its largest amateur sport
competition, the Western Canada Summer games, for
which Talisman Centre was designed and built. At the
conclusion of the successful event, a Legacy Fund of
$250,000 was established to support amateur athletes
and amateur sport. Inspired by this commitment
to amateur sport, in 2012, a second Legacy Fund
was established with the goal of raising $750,000
thus increasing the value of the combined funds to
$1 million.
The Legacy Fund was renamed The John Currie
Amateur Sport Legacy Fund in honour of John Currie,
community champion, President of the 1983 Western
Canada Summer Games and a key figure in the
development and funding of the Talisman Centre, the
flagship facility of the Games.
In 2014, The John Currie Amateur Sport Legacy Fund
provided bursary awards to 10 amateur athletes with
financial need in Calgary, to support their training and
competition needs in pursuit of their athletic goals.

JACK LESLIE YOUTH
ENVIRONMENT AWARD
St. Michael School: Outdoor Classroom
St. Michael School constructed an outdoor classroom.
The project was led by teachers and staff but relied upon
youth engagement. In addition to providing an outdoor
space for youth to learn, work and care for the outdoors,
the space also serves as an interactive community
space. The space includes plants and shrubs native to
Alberta, with the hope to eventually expand to include a
community garden.
Sir Winston Churchill School: Aquaponics Project
Sir Winston Churchill High School is constructing a fully
functioning aquaponic system that will harness the power
of organic matter. By combining the culture of fish and
plants, they hope to create a symbiotic relationship
where the plants will absorb the nutrients from the
microbial breakdown of fish waste. The nourishment will
allow them to grow, and hopefully produce edible plant
matter. This year- round project will demonstrate the
interconnectedness of natural ecosystems and encourage
environmental awareness among students. If the pilot
project is a success, they hope to advance to growing
produce that can be used to supplement cafeteria food.

LETTER FROM THE TREASURER AND
CHAIRMAN, FINANCE COMMITTEE
2014 was another financially successful year for Parks Foundation Calgary (PFC).
The Finance Committee is pleased to report that for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, PFC had $24.7
million in consolidated endowment, project and program funds. The total fund increased by $3.9 million compared
to fiscal year 2013. This increase is the result of appreciation of the fair market value of our investments and
contributions to the Rotary/Mattamy Greenway project and to other PFC led programs.
Parks Foundation Calgary’s financial statements demonstrate the financial well-being of the organization.
The 2014 financial results reflect the dedication and commitment of PFC’s Board of Governors, the Finance
Committee and its management and staff to develop projects that benefit all Calgarians while ensuring PFC’s
fiscal stability.
Going into PFC’s 30th year, the financial outlook for 2015
is positive.
Best wishes for the upcoming year,
Frederick B. Nicholson
Treasurer and Chairman, Finance Committee

Notes to Financial Statements
1
Nature of Organization
>
The Parks Foundation, Calgary (the “Foundation”) was incorporated as a company on February 12, 1985 under the
Companies Act of Alberta. In 1995, the Articles of Association were updated to extend the responsibility of the
Foundation to include the Amateur Sport Fund and the Calgary River Valleys Committee. As of December 31, 2009, the
contract with the River Valleys Committee expired and the Articles of Association have yet to be updated. The objectives
of the Foundation are:
•
to promote and encourage the co-operative effort of government, private and community sector involvement
toward the enhancement of the quality of parks, recreation and open space in the City of Calgary; and
•
to solicit funds, assets, property and rights and to administer receipt of same for the benefit of the City of Calgary as
agent for and on behalf of the City of Calgary.
All financial transactions and balances disclosed in these financial statements have been entered into and are being held
by the Foundation as agent for the City of Calgary (“City”). The Foundation operates under a Memorandum of
Agreement with the City, expiring December 31, 2015, with an option to renew for five years. The Foundation leases the
land and building from which it operates from the City at an annual lease in the amount of $1,200 which expires on July
17, 2017, with an option to renew for another two terms each five years in length, subject to an increase pegged on the
Consumer Price Index. No member of the Foundation is entitled to any distribution from the Foundation by virtue of
membership in the Foundation. During the year, the Foundation received an operating grant from the City’s Enmax
Legacy Fund for $198,344 (2013 - $200,000) to support its operations. The Enmax Legacy Fund annual grant of $200,000
is committed for five years commencing in fiscal 2013. The 2014 grant was reduced by $1,656 due to Council’s decision
to reduce the tax rate from 6.1% to 5%, thereby reducing funding to tax-supported functions, including Civic Partners.
The Foundation is a not-for-profit organization as defined under paragraph 149(1)(l) of the Income Tax Act, and
therefore, is not subject to income tax. The Foundation is classified as a municipal corporation and as such is entitled to
100% GST rebate.
Basis of accounting
The financial statements of the Foundation have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian
accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations (“ASNPO”).
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with ASNPO requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The more significant
estimates in these financial statements relate to management’s estimates of the collectability of accounts receivables,
pledges receivables and the estimated useful lives of capital assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The
financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared using careful judgment with reasonable
limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:
40
Fund accounting
The Foundation follows the restricted fund method of accounting for contributions.
The Operating Fund reports the assets, liabilities, income and expenses related to the Foundation's administrative
activities and the maintenance of certain endowment projects.
The Project Fund reports the assets, liabilities, income and expenses related to the Foundation's projects. Contributions
to this Fund are externally restricted. Investment income is reported in the Project Fund as there are external
restrictions that this income must be used for the Foundation's projects.
The Maintenance Fund reports the assets, liabilities, income and expenses related to specific Foundation projects. Interfund transfers to this Fund are internally restricted. Investment income is reported in the Maintenance Fund as there are
internal restrictions that this income must be used for the Foundation's projects.
The Endowment Fund reports resources contributed for endowments. Both original contributions and unrealized
investment income are externally restricted. All unrealized investment income is reported in the Endowment Fund.
When this income is realized, the unrealized income accrual is reversed and the realized investment income earned on
resources of the Endowment Fund is reported in the Operating Fund or the Endowment Fund dependent on whether it is
internally or externally restricted.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investing or
other purposes. Cash consists of cash on hand, in the bank, and certain investments in a money market fund or a bond
pooled fund.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognized when the Foundation becomes a party to the contractual provisions
of the financial instrument. All financial instruments are initially measured at fair value and subsequently at cost or
amortized cost, except for equities which are required to be measured at fair value, or financial instruments which are
designated at fair value. The Foundation has designated all bonds, guaranteed investment certificates and other
financial assets within the investment portfolio, into the fair value category. Unrealized gains and losses on financial
instruments are measured at fair value and reported in the Statement of Income, Expenses and Changes in Fund
Balances.
Financial assets are tested for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate that the asset could be impaired.
Transaction costs on the acquisition and sale of financial instruments are expensed for those items re-measured at fair
value at each statement of financial position date and charged to the financial instrument for those measured at
amortized cost.
41
Investments
>
Investments are comprised of all funds invested with a portfolio manager, irrespective of whether the funds are invested
in cash and cash equivalents, short or long term investments, or equities, as these investments are held for the purpose
of long-term capital growth. Unrealized investment income on the Talisman Access Advantage Endowment Fund and the
PartnerParks Endowment Fund portfolios is externally restricted. Realized investment income on these endowment
funds is internally restricted by Board approval with consideration to the terms of the agreements. Interest income from
these two portfolios is recorded in the Operating Fund and is classified as cash and cash equivalent as it is held for the
purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments and for recovering some costs of the Foundation’s operations.
Investment income of the other portfolios is held within their investment components. A specific condition, applying to
the Saddledome Amateur Sport Fund, a project fund, requires that the equity portion up to $500,000 be restricted and
not be made available for expenditure.
Investment income realized consists of interest, dividends and capital gains (losses). Income on investments is reported
net of investment management fees of $50,021 (2013 - $54,767).
Capital assets
The Foundation records all donated assets at fair market value at the date of the donation. All other acquisitions are
recorded at cost. These assets are amortized over their useful lives using the declining balance method of amortization
taking one-half year amortization in the year of acquisition. Amortization rates are 30% for office equipment, 20% for
furniture and fixtures and 10% for leasehold improvements. Amortization expense is recorded in the Operating Fund.
Capital assets are tested annually for impairment where impairment indicators are present. This would occur if a capital
asset no longer contributes to the Foundation's ability to provide services. Any excess of the capital asset's carrying
value with no long-term service potential over its residual value is recognized as an expense of the period.
Revenue recognition
Contributions are recognized when received or receivable if the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and
collection is reasonably assured. Restricted contributions related to operations are recognized as revenue of the
Operating Fund in the year in which the related expenses are incurred. All other restricted contributions are recognized
as revenue of the appropriate restricted fund. Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue of the Operating
Fund. Contributions for endowment are recognized as revenue of the Endowment Fund, upon receipt of contributions.
Investment income, net of portfolio manager fees, and other income is recognized as revenue when earned on the
accrual basis. Investment income reflects gains and losses on sale of investments. Unrealized income or loss reflects remeasurement of investments to fair value.
Contributed materials and services
The Foundation receives various contributions in the forms of materials and services to carry out its objectives. Because
of the difficulty in determining their fair value, contributed materials and services are not recognized in the financial
statements.
42
Project administration
The Foundation charges an administration allocation of 2% to all projects, 1.0% -1.5% to all endowment funds managed
by the Foundation and 5% of capital funds raised which are available for granting to communities. The Foundation grants
the 2% administration allocation to community projects that qualify under the PartnerParks Administration Costs
Allocation Granting Program. Management has the discretion to charge administration costs allocation to recover costs
from projects which do not qualify under the PartnerParks Administration Costs Allocation Granting Program and under
special circumstances.
In addition, the Foundation receives management costs allocation to assist certain projects during the fundraising or
development stages, or to administer grants on behalf of other non-for-profit organizations, or to manage projects
construction.
Administration costs allocations are collected monthly based on either the contributions received or the bank balances.
Management costs allocations for projects initiated by the Foundation are collected based on percentage of completion,
determined on the basis of project and associated costs incurred, without jeopardizing the completion of the project.
Where it is difficult to place a value on the costs incurred, revenue shall be recognized on a straight line basis over the
term of the project.
Administration and management costs allocations are reflected as fund transfers and allocations from the Project Fund
to the Operating Fund; and fund transfers and allocations within the Operating Fund.
Unless designated as a maintenance fund, any residual fund remaining two years after the completion of any projects
will revert back to the Foundation and will be utilized at the discretion of the Board of Governors. Residual funds can
upon written request be converted into an endowment fund dedicated for maintenance of the project.
Allocated remuneration costs
In the course of its operations, the management of the Foundation allocates remuneration costs to its different funds,
based on management’s best estimate of the time spent by each employee in each area.
Pledges receivable
Pledges receivable are recorded in the financial statements when the following criteria are met:
•
•
•
•
43
Signed letter from the donor stating pledged amount with no outstanding conditions;
The project is confirmed to proceed on a given date or has already commenced construction;
Their fair value can be reasonably estimated; and
Collection is reasonably assured.
2
Financial Instruments
>
The Foundation holds various forms of financial instruments. The nature of these instruments and the Foundation's
operations exposes the Foundation to various risks. Except as disclosed elsewhere, the Foundation’s financial
instruments have the following risks:
(i) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of interest bearing financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in the
prevailing levels of market interest rates. The fixed income investments are also subject to cash flow risk, arising from
the reinvestment of cash flow at varying interest rates.
The Foundation is exposed to interest rate risk arising from the fluctuations in interest rates on its investments. The
Foundation mitigates these risks through investment guidelines approved by the Foundation’s Board.
At December 31, 2014, the Foundation had $9,045,431 (2013 - $7,614,864) of investments exposed to interest rate risk.
(ii) Equity price risk
Equity risk is the uncertainty associated with the valuation of assets arising from changes in equity markets. To mitigate
equity price risk, the Foundation has investment policy guidelines in place that provide for prudent investment in equity
markets within clearly defined limits.
The Foundation has an upper limit on equities of 50% (0% for the Short Term Projects account). The portfolio manager
has an internal constraint of no more than 20% of its net assets in a particular industry (i.e. sub-sector) as classified by
the Global Industry Classification Standards (“GICS”) to reduce concentration risk. The portfolio manager limits the
magnitude of any one asset mix shift to 5% per quarter to reduce timing risk. The portfolio manager also limits the
investment in any one corporation to no more than 10% of the equity component.
The Fund’s equity holdings are in nine of ten GICS sectors and are most heavily weighted to Financials (26% of the equity
weight), Industrials (16%) and Information Technology (14%). The combined exposure to all three sectors is 56%.
At December 31, 2014, the Foundation had $6,773,633 (2013 - $6,911,055) of investments exposed to equity price risk.
(iii) Credit risk
Substantially all of the Foundation's cash and cash equivalents and investments are held within a Chartered financial
banking institution and their custodian. As such, the Foundation is exposed to the risks of these entities.
The Foundation’s accounts receivable consists of GST receivable from the government. Accordingly, the Foundation
views credit risk on GST receivable as minimal.
The fair value of debt securities includes consideration of the credit worthiness of the debt issuer. The carrying amount
of the debt securities held within the investments represents the maximum credit risk exposure as at December 31,
2014.
44
Credit risk arising on debt instruments is mitigated by investing primarily in rated instruments or instruments issued by
rated counterparties of credit ratings of at least BBB. The average credit quality of the Canadian Bond Pooled Fund as at
December 31, 2014 was AA (2013 – AA).
(iv) Currency risk
Currency risk arises from financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than the Canadian dollar, which
is the Foundation’s functional currency. The Foundation is exposed to the risk that the value of securities denominated
in other currencies will fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates. The exposure to currency risk is primarily through
investment in mutual funds with foreign equity holdings. Equities trading in foreign markets are also exposed to
currency risk as the price in local terms on the foreign stock exchange is converted to Canadian dollars to determine fair
value. Generally the Foundation holds its direct cash in Canadian dollars.
As at December 31, 2014, the Foundation had $4,675,083 (2013 - $4,706,287) of investments exposed to currency risk.
(v) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Foundation will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with financial
liabilities. This includes the risk that, as a result of operational liquidity requirements, the Foundation will not have
sufficient funds to settle a transaction on the due date; will be forced to sell financial assets at a value, which is less than
what they are worth; or may be unable to settle or recover a financial asset. Liquidity risk arises from accounts payable.
The Foundation has reserve funds from prior year surpluses to mitigate the liquidity risk, and monitors their cash flows
on a regular basis.
