Annual Report 2013 Together In New Directions Our Vision

The Canadian Museum is a family-friendly museum that explores the canoe’s enduring significance to the peoples of Canada, Turtle Island and the World. Our Mission

To provide for all who encounter the collection, virtually or in person, a unique national heritage centre that explores and communicates the enduring significance of , and related self-propelled craft to the peoples of Canada.

Our Core Values

COLLECTION – We value the stewardship of our collection: the craft, artifacts and research materials related to canoes, kayaks and self-propelled water travel—striving to be known as the destination for “all things canoe” by celebrating documenting, preserving, C handling and conserving the collection in ways befitting its uniqueness and value; ABORIGINAL ROOTS - We value the origins of the collection—celebrating where possible and appropriate the people and places, cultures and traditions, the faces and the stories, of the First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples from which the Canadian A tradition has grown; NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE - We are committed to connecting the collection and related activities (exhibits, research, education, outreach) to all Canadians in a context that honours the full historic continuum of builders, building traditions and stories of self- N propelled watercraft from coast to coast to coast; ORGANIZATION - We value the nurturing of board, staff, volunteers, membership and the Museum itself as a robust community, as well organization, as in being organized, meaning commitment to acting respectfully & responsibly, striving for excellence, order; O and environmental sustainability in all things; EXPERIENCE - We value collaborative experience, meaning we seek where possible and appropriate to avoid flat transmission of canoe-related knowledge, opting instead to create in our exhibits and programs a progression of hands-on experiences in which visitors can E actively explore canoes and canoeing traditions.

Our Ambassador-at-Large initiative grew out of broadcaster Shelagh Rogers’ interest in the Museum. Following her donation of Sir George Simpson’s mourning ring to the Museum and her hugely successful hosting of our Beaver Club Gala, she asked how she might stay involved with the Museum. In that one question, a new way to promote the Museum was born. Shelagh speaks about the Museum as she travels around the country, always mentioning Photo: Mollie Cartmell her “ambassadorship” to people near and far, many of whom are connecting with us for the first time. Following the example of our 2013 Beaver Club Gala host and our second first Ambassador at Large, Joseph Boyden and Les Stroud, help Ambassador at Large, Les Stroud and carry the Museum’s story to new audiences, each in his own way.

2013 was a great year for donations and fundraising, surpassing the target by 68%. The total raised through donations and fundraising was: $355,771!

For 2013, the donations and fundraising goal was set at $236,027.

With approximately 40% of the Museum’s funding coming from fundraising initiatives, it is essential that we receive support through the voluntary support of individual and corporate donors, the two annual appeals, major gifts, membership and special events like the Beaver Club Gala.

The year 2013 resulted in cash earnings of $7,562 compared to a loss of $34,638 in 2012.

The improvement in cash earnings was mainly attributable to improved performance from virtually all revenue sources. The most significant year over year improvements in revenue were from donations, memberships and government grants. The increase in government grants funded certain increased staff and marketing costs. Facility expenses were higher in 2013 as a result of higher heat, utilities and snow plowing expenses.

Cash, short term investments and long term investments amounted to $492,245 as of December 31, 2013, which represents a $66,668 reduction compared to the previous year. The reduction in cash and investments mainly reflects capital spending of $21,659, loan payments of $12,500, increased retail store inventory levels of $10,848 and a reduction in deferred revenue of $28,067.
