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. TABLE OF CONTENTS 02 Message from the Secretary General 03 Message from the Chair 06 The Year in Numbers 12 Governance and Leadership 14 Report of the Chief Financial Officer 16 Auditor’s Report 17 Financials 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. Conrad Sauvé 2 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. Alan Dean 3 1. WARMING SHELTERS During the unprecedented December cold which caused lengthy power outages across Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick, the Canadian Red Cross helped operate warming shelters throughout the provinces, providing a safe place to stay, meals, hygiene kits and blankets to those in need. 2. LAC-MÉGANTIC, QUEBEC When the deadliest Canadian rail disaster in 150 years claimed the lives of 47 people and destroyed half of Lac–Mégantic’s downtown core, the Canadian Red Cross mobilized teams of volunteers from across the province and deployed emergency equipment as part of a 1 2 3 4 $14 million relief and recovery effort. 3. L’ISLE-VERTE, QUEBEC After the tragic nursing home fire in L’Isle-Verte, the Canadian Red Cross mobilized its teams to meet the basic needs of the people affected by the disaster. The money collected will also be used to support local schools and the community of L’Isle-Verte by organizing public events and activities. 5 4. MATERNAL, NEWBORN AND CHILD HEALTH Our Maternal, Newborn and Child Health programs reached more than one million mothers and children in 2013, one third of these in Mali. The Canadian Red Cross and partners work to strengthen health systems where most needed, and reduce life-threatening diseases that are largely preventable, using practical, proven and cost effective interventions. 5. DAYS OF PINK In addition to supporting “Days of Pink ” Days throughout Canada, the Canadian Red Cross reached over half a million Canadians – primarily young people – with anti-bullying education programs. 6. FIRST AID APP As a complement to hands-on training, the Canadian Red Cross’s new first aid app increases people’s skills and confidence to intervene in health-threatening injuries and emergencies from severe bleeding to broken bones to heart attacks. 4 6 THE CANADIAN RED CROSS DEPLOYED ITS EMERGENCY FIELD HOSPITAL TO ORMOC IN THE PHILIPPINES FOLLOWING TYPHOON HAIYAN, WHERE IT TREATED 1226 PATIENTS, CONDUCTED 114 SURGERIES AND DELIVERED OVER 400 BABIES.

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.
