Season of Giving. Season of Parks. Season of Possibility.

A massive thank you to everyone who has already supported Calgary’s parks this year. Your generosity has helped bring park dreams to life across our city!

As we close out a year filled with new play and gathering places, we’re grateful for the generosity that makes this work possible.

Parks Foundation has chosen to use a generous $10,000 gift from Mawer Investment Management Ltd. to match donations made to operations until December 31, helping your year-end contribution go twice as far for Calgary’s parks and play spaces.

GIVE TO OUR PARKS

For 40 years, Parks Foundation has worked to enrich Calgary's outdoor landscape to enhance our city's identity and quality of life. We hope to leave a lasting legacy of innovative park spaces, community vitality and enhanced access to nature for everyone.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

At the Parks Foundation, we acknowledge and pay tribute to the original caretakers of the land, whose legacy reminds us of the rich histories that came before us. We celebrate the connection of the community and the land that we live on, and we honor the responsibility we carry to steward the land through our projects and initiatives. In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that we live, work and play on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Stoney Nakoda Nations (Chiniki, Bearspaw, Goodstoney), the Otipemisiwak Métis Government (Districts 5 and 6), and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.
