The Rotary Club of Calgary has been making major donations to the Rotary/Mattamy Greenway for 5 years!
Thirteen Calgary Rotary clubs, the Rotary Club of Cochrane and Rotaract are sponsors along with Mattamy Homes, and have come together to fund the bulk of the project.
"The Greenway embodies Rotary's vision for a better future for Calgarians and the generations who follow. We are very proud to put our name to this community project." Eva Friesen, 2013-2014 President of the Rotary Club of Calgary, said in a press release.

The map of the Rotary/Mattamy Greenway includes information on access points and parking. Please encourage your friends and family members to use the Greenway and enjoy the amazing amenities along the way. Have a great time exploring our wonderful Rotary/Mattamy Greenway.
Parks Foundation Calgary is building on Calgary's nearly 1,000 km of pathways with the Rotary/Mattamy Greenway Project. When complete, the Greenway will be a 138 km network of parks and pathways that will encircle the city. Along the pathway, users will find unique amenities like no other in the city: specialty off-leash dog parks, family fitness parks, educational wetland interpretive areas, and unique play structures. The Greenway will be a year-round destination for cyclists, cross-country skiers, runners, walkers, nature lovers, and kids of all ages to play outdoors. Directly connecting to 55 Calgary communities in all four quadrants, and to The City of Calgary's existing pathway network, makes the Greenway accessible to all Calgarians. When completed, the Greenway will be the longest urban pathway and park system in the world.
