IN EVERY COMMUNITY, THERE IS WORK TO BE DONE. IN EVERY NATION, THERE ARE
WOUNDS TO HEAL. IN EVERY HEART, THERE IS THE POWER TO DO IT.
2013-2014 ANNUAL REPORT
COMMUNITY
Community – true community – is characterized by a sense of belonging, a shared
determination to face challenges as a unit, to protect and strengthen our most
vulnerable, to celebrate our successes and to recover from adversity together.
Community is often a physical place and – just as often – a dispersed group sharing
common interests, common concerns and common dreams. At its heart, a community seeks to treat its members with respect and kindness, to work together
to plan for a better future and to always nurture that most human of aspirations:
hope.
That’s our ideal of what makes a community, an ideal we try to achieve in
everything we do. At home, the Canadian Red Cross is at work wherever a natural
or man-made disaster threatens a community. From more than 200 permanent
locations coast-to-coast, we also play a vital role in daily community life, delivering health and social programs, first aid, water safety, and disaster preparedness
training aimed at personally and collectively protecting those communities.
Internationally, we are part of the worldwide community of the Red Cross
and Crescent Movement, which provides relief, recovery and rebuilding from
disaster and disease through Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies in
189 countries.
Enabled by the precious support of our donors and partners, the Canadian
Red Cross – every day and in every way possible – is dedicated to helping and protecting tens of millions of members of that largest of communities – humankind.
IN RESPONDING TO THE UNPRECEDENTED JUNE 2013 FLOODS IN SOUTHERN
ALBERTA, THOUSANDS OF RED CROSS VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF HAVE PROVIDED
ASSISTANCE TO ALMOST 70,000 PEOPLE.

NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT BY DELIVERING MEALS, ASSISTANCE WITH TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILITY SUPPORT THROUGH HEALTH EQUIPMENT LOANS ARE JUST
SOME OF THE MANY COMMUNITY WELLNESS PROGRAMS FROM THE CANADIAN
RED CROSS WHICH ARE ENHANCING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR SENIORS AND
THOSE RECOVERING FROM ILLNESS OR INJURY.
This past year, people and communities called upon the Canadian Red Cross in unprecedented numbers, not only internationally but right here at home. Thousands
of Canadians received aid from us when their lives were changed by tragic events –
Lac-Mégantic, L’ Isle-Verte, flooding in Alberta and the ice storm in southern Ontario,
Quebec and New Brunswick. Still more were provided essential support and comfort in
their homes through our community health programs. Through all this our fundamental
work continued, helping individuals and communities through training and preparedness. This year we trained over 600,000 people in first aid, making us the top provider
in Canada of first aid training.
MESSAGE FROM THE
SECRETARY GENERAL
In responding to more large-scale and personal disasters than we ever have, we see
a growing vulnerability in this country – whether it’s due to increasingly severe weather
patterns, an aging population or economic hardship. We know we must further expand
our capacity to successfully meet the challenges ahead by working with volunteers,
partners and entire communities to develop and maintain innovative community health
and robust disaster response programs. To do so, we are forging or solidifying significant partnerships with numerous organizations and governments at home while reaching out to the global Red Cross family.
The more connections we have to each other and to our numerous communities, the
greater our individual and collective capabilities are to be ready when disaster strikes or
to provide effective services on an on-going basis to our most vulnerable.
Internationally, this process of building enduring relationships takes time but the payoffs are immense. The much-needed hospital and health clinics we are building in
Jacmel, Haiti came about through a unique multi-party relationship that has set the
foundation for dramatically improved community health for generations to come. Our
longstanding position of trust with the Canadian government allowed us to quickly provide aid in South Sudan as that crisis deepened and it allowed us to rapidly deploy a
life-saving field hospital to the Philippines in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan.
Worldwide, the need for humanitarian assistance is incalculable. Despite positive economic news in many developing countries, we in more established nations cannot now
– nor should we ever – become complacent. Political upheaval and civil unrest, the
lingering ravages of major natural disasters and the impact of climate change will continue to directly threaten lives, livelihoods and entire communities.
Against these threats stands the community. At its strongest, a community is the best
expression of who we are. And it is the best hope we have of protecting, inspiring and
improving us all.

When the Canadian Red Cross goes before governments or donors or corporate
partners, we bring a century-old reputation for important services expertly delivered.
Underpinning this operational excellence in Canada and overseas are governance principles and a culture fully dedicated to supporting effective, long-term partnerships.
Lying between intent and result, planning and action must be the policies and frameworks which are rigourous enough to ensure reliability and accountability while being
nimble enough to account for the ever-changing realities of our world.
The Board and Executive well understand that communities must be built to last on
a rock solid foundation, with clear expectations and the transparent commitment of
capital and human resources. It also requires that our house be absolutely in order. The
governance principles and practices which our Board directs are achieving precisely
these goals as validated by a governance mini review conducted during this term.
MESSAGE
FROM THE CHAIR
My second year as your Chair was also focused on making new frameworks to more fully
engage volunteers and partners and build upon new governance bylaws we passed two
years ago. Externally, such rigourous and credible stewardship serves us well when we
approach partners and potential partners in the corporate, government and community
agency sectors. Internally, we have revisited governance roles regionally to ensure we
remain relevant and provide useful and engaging roles for our volunteers.
We are deeply committed to working collaboratively, starting within our own dispersed
and multi-faceted organization. Moving people and ideas and skills from region to region based on need and expertise continues to allow us to take advantage of best practices. Such engagement plays a pivotal role in adapting to the many changes and needs
of civil society.
On the global stage, I saw this collaborative approach first hand at the biennial Statutory
Meetings of the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement in Sydney Australia. The Canadian
delegation was an active participant in formalizing a global youth engagement strategy, helping to develop new principles and rules for humanitarian assistance while exploring new ways of working with other National Societies such as the Afghan and the
Bangladesh Red Crescents.
As my term as Chair comes to a conclusion, I am comforted to know that we are creating
and promoting governance structures that both guide and take advantage of the wonderful talents available to us. My deepest thanks to all fellow Board members, our CEO
Conrad Sauvé, volunteers, staff and donors. Each has contributed mightily to our collective success as one of the most respected and effective humanitarian organizations in
Canada and the world.

REPORT OF
THE CHIEF
FINANCIAL
OFFICER
FOR THE YEAR ENDED
MARCH 31, 2014
RESULTS FROM OPERATIONS
The organization continued to build on its strong financial position with favourable results
in the 2013-14 fiscal year. For the year ended March 31, 2014, the organization had a
net deficiency of revenue over expenses of $7.5 million (2013 – $9.4 million). With the
exclusion of net expenses relating to Tsunami operations, the organization had an excess of revenue over expenses of $3.4 million (2013 – deficiency of $3.2 million).
During the 2013-14 fiscal year, through the generosity of donors, the Canadian Red
Cross received significant donations in support of its aid and relief efforts in the aftermath of several disaster events in Canada and internationally. This year, the organization’s ongoing investment in fundraising activities aimed at producing more predictable
and sustainable revenue streams yielded strong results, particularly in the area of direct
marketing.
The Canadian Red Cross provides integrated health and home care services in Ontario
through its 50% ownership of Red Cross Care Partners (“RCCP”). 2013-14 marked the
first full year of operations of this for-profit entity. The Board and Management continue
to actively monitor the performance of RCCP, particularly with a view towards improving operational efficiency and financial performance in light of anticipated changes in
home care policy in Ontario. At the same time, we continue to pursue opportunities for
growth in community health in other regions, with notable success in Atlantic Canada.
The organization continues to expend funds on recovery programming in affected
countries following the Asian Earthquake and Tsunami in 2004. These funds represent
interest income earned on donations received in respect of this disaster. It is important
to note that interest income is recognized as revenue in the year earned and as an
expense in the year that it is spent. As a result, this ongoing expenditure of funds on
Tsunami related recovery programs creates an overall net deficiency of revenue over
expenses for the organization. This year, the organization spent $11.1 million (2013 $6.9 million) of this interest on Tsunami related recovery programs.
The Canadian Red Cross provides integrated health programs for communities in Haiti, in
particular in Jacmel, following the 2010 earthquake. Separate audited financial statements for both the Asian Earthquake and Tsunami Fund and the Haiti Earthquake Fund
are available on the Society’s website www.redcross.ca.
Fundraising programs remain an important area for the organization, with the objective
of building a sustainable revenue base to support growth in our programs and services.
Investments made in fundraising typically yield results in future years, creating fluctuations in the year-over-year percentage of cost of fundraising as shown in the Annual
Report on page 21. This fluctuation is further affected by unpredictable variations in the
number and size of appeals in a given year. We continue to closely monitor our fundraising strategies and the results of investments in this key revenue area. Prudent management of money entrusted to us by Canadians is and will always be a governing principle
of the Canadian Red Cross.
QUALITY, RISK MANAGEMENT AND PLANNING
Staff and volunteers at the Canadian Red Cross take great pride in delivering high quality services to our beneficiaries. The skills and expertise they provide are complemented by internal processes which monitor and give oversight to the efficiency and effectiveness of service delivery. Moreover, many of our programs are reviewed or audited
externally under contractual agreements with major funders. This year, we proudly received accreditation for our Ontario community health programs, reflecting our strong
commitment to quality.
14
The Canadian Red Cross performs ongoing monitoring of current, potential and emerging
risks as part of a comprehensive enterprise risk management program. With oversight
by the Board, risk management is an integral part of our strategic decisions and operational plans.
We continue to refine our integrated planning process. This year, we aligned our operational planning with the development of rolling three-year budgets. By adopting a multiyear approach, we are able to strike the necessary balance between having flexibility to
adapt to change in the short-term while maintaining a view beyond a one-year planning
horizon. Additionally, we finalized the organization’s net assets policy, which provided
the Board and management with an enhanced perspective upon which to contemplate
strategic investments in growing our programs and services.
LOOKING FORWARD
With a solid and expanding regular donor base, growing public awareness of the very
broad range of important activities we undertake here and abroad, the governance
and fiscal transparency processes we have instituted, and the strengthening of
relationships with multiple government organizations, the Canadian Red Cross and its
supporters are ready to meet the challenges the future will undoubtedly bring.

To the Board of Directors of
The Canadian Red Cross Society
The accompanying summary consolidated financial statements, which comprise the

are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Canadian Red
Cross Society (the “Society”) for the year ended March 31, 2014. We expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements in our report dated
June 11, 2014.
The summary consolidated financial statements do not contain all the disclosures
required by Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations applied in
the preparation of the audited consolidated financial statements of the Society. Reading
the summary consolidated financial statements, therefore, is not a substitute for reading the audited consolidated financial statements of the Society.
MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Management is responsible for the preparation of a summary of the audited consolidated financial statements in accordance with the established criteria disclosed in
Note 1 to the summary consolidated financial statements.
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the summary consolidated financial
statements based on our procedures, which were conducted in accordance with
Canadian Auditing Standard (CAS) 810, “Engagements to Report on Summary Financial
Statements.”
OPINION
In our opinion, the summary consolidated financial statements derived from the audited
consolidated financial statements of the Society for the year ended March 31, 2014 are
a fair summary of those consolidated financial statements in accordance with the established criteria disclosed in Note 1 to the summary consolidated financial statements.
