As a passionate and enthusiastic volunteer, Wally supported
PFC’s projects and programs, particularly the Building
Playgrounds and Communities Program. He was committed
to ensuring that Calgary families had access to free

ROTARY/MATTAMY GREENWAY
Construction of the Greenway in 2013 was very successful despite the devastating floods in June.
Design work for the CN Rail crossing in phase 1 proceeded and construction is anticipated to be
complete by late 2014 or early 2015.
The wetland boardwalks in phase 2 were constructed and the connecting pathways will be complete
in 2014.
Construction of phase 3, the final phase of the Greenway, began in the fall of 2013. The Aspen Link
(Sarcee Trail) section will be complete in 2014. With 39 kilometers of existing pathway in phase 3,
manufacturing of the directional signage and seating nodes began and will be installed in 2014.
Having Calgary’s Rotary Clubs and Mattamy Homes partner as naming sponsors of the Greenway was
a significant contributing factor to the project’s success. A large Rotary/Mattamy Greenway cairn
was unveiled at the event announcing the partnership.
Next year holds many challenges as well as countless opportunities for success for the Rotary/
Mattamy Greenway. Design development will continue for Airport Trail as well as the Inland Field
pathways, both of which are expected to be tendered and awarded in 2014 for 2015 construction.
There will also be continued development, promotion and planning of pathway amenities and inkind construction by our developer partners.

BIO-ENERGY PARK
A master plan was completed for the Bio-Energy Park project. The master plan was jointly funded by
the City of Calgary Council Innovation Fund and the Estate of Mario Stella. Guided by a Stakeholder
Committee, the Bio-Energy Park project selected Old Refinery Park as a potential test site.
The proposed project 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 test biological
processes in the remediation of contaminated land and water.
The development of an innovative park concept that incorporates bio-remediation, sustainable
development, recreation and public education has the potential to showcase practices that may be
applied locally, nationally and globally.
Looking ahead, we will continue to work with the Stakeholder Committee to identify funding
opportunities and necessary approvals required to move the project forward.
10 | BIO-ENERGY PARK
BUILDING PLAYGROUNDS AND
COMMUNITIES
Parks Foundation Calgary continued to build playgrounds and community capacity across the city.
In 2013, 16 playgrounds were built valued at nearly $3.7 million. Since the inception of our grant
program in 2009 we have completed 85 play spaces valued at nearly $12 million dollars.
Among the playgrounds built through the program in 2013 was one of the largest playgrounds in
Alberta, and the largest ever for the program. The community of Applewood worked with PFC to
raise funds and organize more than 130 corporate volunteers to make this large project a reality.
This playground will surely become a destination for residents and Calgarians alike.
The communities supported through this program united and took ownership of their playground
projects. One of the best success stories of the year was seen in the community of Forest Lawn. An
engaged and connected community hosted Playground Day at the new, fully accessible playground in
September. As a result of this program there was enhanced community capacity.
Numerous communities are working with PFC to participate in the Building Playgrounds and
Communities grant program and Project Gift Administration for 2014. Parks Foundation Calgary
will continue to create free and engaging recreational spaces for Calgarians through our successful
programs.
BUILDING PLAYGROUNDS AND COMMUNITIES | 11
HORTICULTURAL PROGRAM
During the summer of 2013, the Horticultural Program continued to successfully engage diverse
populations through gardening and culinary activities. Despite a decrease in participation from
partner organizations impacted by June floods, over 100 participants were engaged in the gardens
at Calgary Housing Company (Falconridge) and Enviros, plus Haultain Park and Calgary Rotary
Challenger Park.
2013 Partner Organizations: Vantage Enterprises (adults with disabilities), Calgary Society of
Community Opportunities (adults with disabilities), Calgary Immigrant Women’s Association (senior
women), Enviros (young offenders and children with behavioural challenges), Calgary Housing
Company (subsidized housing), Stardale (Aboriginal girls), and Calgary Drop-In & Rehab Centre.
A new garden project was added to the Horticultural Program in 2013. Located in the community
of Dover, the Twin Views Communal Garden is situated in an old tennis court revitalized as an
innovative gardening space. In partnership with the City of Calgary, the Greater Forest Lawn 55+
Society and residents of Dover, Southview and Forest Lawn, PFC has created the framework for
community-led design of this garden space where sustainable food production and inclusive social
gathering is the main focus.
Thanks to successful, multi-year funding secured in 2012, we had the opportunity to focus
fundraising efforts on the new Twin Views Communal Garden project and other new projects for
2014.
12 | HORTICULTURAL PROGRAM
SADDLEDOME AMATEUR SPORT
GRANT
Since 1987, Parks Foundation Calgary has facilitated the awarding of more than $10 million in grants
to amateur sport organizations in Calgary.
In 2013, there was a 43% increase in the number of new organizations applying for funding which
supported our goal of reaching out to new groups.
The following grants totaling $282,800 were awarded in 2013:
Alberta Biathlon Club $7,000
Bishop Carroll High School $10,000
Calgary Tennis Club $30,000
Lake Bonavista Community Association $58,500
Marda Loop Communities Association $52,000
Netball Alberta $7,000
Nose Creek Sports and Recreation Association $100,000

SADDLEDOME AMATEUR SPORT GRANT PROGRAM | 13
BENCH DEDICATION PROGRAM
The bench dedication program continued to be popular with Calgarians wishing to honour their loved
ones however 2013 proved to be a challenging year due to the June floods.
Parks Foundation worked with sponsors and the City of Calgary to locate and replace any lost or
damaged benches. These benches will be repaired or replaced as needed and returned to as close to
their original location as possible. This will be an ongoing process as we enter into 2014.
Although the floods did slow the number of new bench inquiries and interest, PFC worked with donors
to sponsor 44 new benches in 2013.

CONCEPTUAL DRAWING GRANT
CONCEPTUAL DRAWING GRANT
Projects aimed at enhancing parks, pathways, playgrounds, natural areas and open spaces in Calgary
are eligible for a conceptual drawing grant of up to $5,000. A conceptual drawing by a landscape
architect is often an important first step in realizing a project. In 2013, Parks Foundation Calgary
awarded four conceptual drawing grants to the following projects:
Calgary Mountain Bike Skills Park
Calgary Rotary Challenger Park Garden
Hoffer Park Garden
Sunalta Community Centre
16 | CONCEPTUAL DRAWING GRANT
JACK LESLIE YOUTH ENVIRONMENT
AWARD
Every year, two schools receive grants of $1000 towards projects that benefit the environment. This
program is made possible because of the partnership between Youth Central, the Leslie family, The
City of Calgary and Parks Foundation Calgary.
FOREST LAWN HIGH SCHOOL
Through a partnership with the Wildlife Studies program, the Environment Club, and the Outdoor
Leadership students at Forest Lawn, the school is landscaping and creating a native prairie garden to
improve the appearance and reputation of the school, while incorporating environmental principles.
A gravity fed irrigation system with solar panels and rain barrels will be included, as well the garden
will be built on the principles of xeriscaping to help teach the students the importance of resource
conservation.
WILLIAM ABERHART
To support the sustainability of the William Aberhart athletic program, the school purchased ethical,
organic, Canadian made t-shirts for school gym strips instead of the regular t-shirts that have a
negative impact on the environment. Purchasing these t-shirts saved 165 lbs of pesticides from being
released into the environment. Additionally, for every t-shirt purchased, a tree was planted. As part of
the project, students from William Aberhart will visit other schools to speak to them about the ways to
change school clothing for the better.

THE ART SMITH AMATEUR SPORT
LEGACY FUND
Since 2000, Parks Foundation Calgary and the Calgary Booster Club have partnered to award bursaries
to amateur athletes through the Art Smith Amateur Sport Legacy Fund. Art Smith was a great Calgarian
and supporter of amateur athletes in the city and this fund continues his legacy.
In 2013, the Art Smith Amateur Sport Legacy Fund awarded bursaries to 10 athletes to support their
athletic pursuits.

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 $1million.
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 Talisman Centre, the flagship facility of the Games.
In 2013, The John Currie Amateur Sport Legacy Fund provided $10,000 in bursary awards to 12 amateur
athletes with financial need training in Calgary, to support their training and competition needs in
pursuit of their athletic goals.
