Message from the President<br />
Among <strong>our</strong> proudest moments in 2009 stands<br />
the inauguration <strong>of</strong> The <strong>National</strong> <strong>Gallery</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Canada</strong> Foundation Legacy Circle last<br />
December 9, in front <strong>of</strong> nearly 300 <strong>patrons</strong> who<br />
braved the elements to attend <strong>our</strong> Annual Donor<br />
Recognition Reception.<br />
We established the Legacy Circle to hon<strong>our</strong><br />
those generous individuals who, wishing to<br />
make a lasting difference to the <strong>Gallery</strong> for future<br />
generations, remember the Foundation in their<br />
estate planning with a provision for a financial<br />
gift. Legacy gifts are a vital s<strong>our</strong>ce <strong>of</strong> support for<br />
the <strong>Gallery</strong> and I hope you will consider making<br />
such a gift to the Foundation.<br />
Turning to the new year, I am delighted to<br />
note the continued support <strong>of</strong> Pratt & Whitney<br />
<strong>Canada</strong>, which will be the presenting sponsor <strong>of</strong><br />
the exhibitions Nicolas Baier: Pareidolias, on view<br />
until April 24, and, later this summer, Angela<br />
Grauerholz. With these two, Pratt & Whitney<br />
<strong>Canada</strong> will have generously supported five <strong>of</strong><br />
the <strong>Gallery</strong>’s exhibitions in the last two years.<br />
We are immensely grateful to them for their<br />
generosity.<br />
In an exciting new development, it gives me<br />
great pleasure to welcome HP <strong>Canada</strong> as a corporate<br />
patron. Our new collaboration with HP<br />
brings art and technology together in an innovative<br />
way and will allow the <strong>Gallery</strong> to break<br />
new ground in making some <strong>of</strong> the <strong>National</strong><br />
Collection’s most delicate works accessible to the<br />
public. The first initiative, launched as part <strong>of</strong> the<br />
exhibition 19th-Century French Photographs from<br />
the <strong>National</strong> <strong>Gallery</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Canada</strong> now on view, is recounted<br />
in the next pages. I am pleased to note<br />
that the catalogue for this exhibition was made<br />
possible thanks to support from The Dr. Shirley<br />
L. Thomson Art Research Endowment.<br />
On a final note, I wish to extend a warm welcome<br />
to David G. Broadhurst and Michael G.<br />
Adams, who recently joined the Foundation’s<br />
Board <strong>of</strong> Directors, and sincere thanks to<br />
Elisabetta Bigsby and Mirko Bibic, most recently<br />
Chair <strong>of</strong> the Governance Committee and Chair<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Audit Committee respectively for their invaluable<br />
contribution while serving on <strong>our</strong><br />
Board.<br />
With warm regards, I look forward to<br />
seeing you soon at the <strong>Gallery</strong>.<br />
