Who We Are
SHARING EDMONTON’S DYNAMIC STORY
Founded in 1969, a small group of visionaries and Rotarians committed efforts to rebuild Fort Edmonton, create a heritage park, and develop a living history museum. For over 50 years, we are an Edmonton charity that has directly supported Edmonton’s history by continuing the work of our founding members.
Edmonton Charity – Over 50 Years of History
The Fort Edmonton Foundation is an Edmonton charity that was founded in 1969 by a group of community leaders, several of them Rotarians, who were interested in establishing a visible memorial to the origins of the City of Edmonton. The objectives of the group, as set forth in the Memorandum of Association, were simple and straightforward:
- To promote and support the establishment and development of a historical park in Edmonton, called Fort Edmonton Park, which was to contain the replication of old Fort Edmonton; and, which was to be created to be historically accurate insofar as possible.
- To assist in the preservation, display, restoration and conservation of other buildings, sites, artifacts, personal papers and records, documents and objects which reflect and record the historical heritage of the Edmonton area and its early citizens
- To establish and maintain a fund for the said purposes and to accept gifts of money and of property, real and personal.
- To apply the capital and income of the fund for said purposes.
