Staff researchers remain on the cutting-edge of new knowledge in their various fields of endeavour, adding to the world’s amassed scholarship on every conceivable topic. Far more important, however, is a museum’s ability to share this information with the widest possible constituency. For it is in the sharing of our expertise, scholarship and insight that we contribute to the advancement of human knowledge, understanding and achievement — a fitting role for museums in this information age.” — Dr. John English, Chairman, Canadian Museum of Civilization Corporation Corporate Governance

Some interns have returned to their communities to develop careers as museum professionals; others have gone back to university for additional schooling.

verall expenditures increased to $58 million from $54.7 million, representing an increase of $3.3 million. Self-generated revenues increased to $13.9 million from $11.5 million, O representing an increase of $2.4 million. The strong revenue performance is a result of strong attendance and related revenue from the Canadian Museum of Civilization location, as well as results from the Museum’s Boutique at the Canadian Pavilion during the world’s fair held in Hanover, Germany.

In 2000–2001, revenues from general admissions, boutiques and the IMAX® Theatre rose to $7 million from $5.8 million. Revenues from facility rentals, concessions and parking were $1.9 million, matching the performance of last year. Government funding recognized during the year increased to $50.4 million from $47.5 million, representing an increase of $2.9 million.

Major expenditures for exhibit completion in the First Peoples Hall and the Canada Hall have been re-scheduled to occur in 2001–2002 and 2002–2003.

The Corporation’s goal of committing $7 million of its own resources towards the construction of a new Canadian War Museum has been met and is represented on the financial statements as a restricted equity amount.

AUDITOR GENERAL OF CANADA VÉRIFICATEUR GÉNÉRAL DU CANADA

Auditor’s Report

To the Minister of Canadian Heritage

I have audited the balance sheet of the Canadian Museum of Civilization as at March 31, 2001 and the statements of operations and equity of Canada and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.

I conducted my audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In my opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position 79 of the Corporation as at March 31, 2001 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. As required by the Financial Administration Act, I report that, in my opinion, these principles have been applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

Further, in my opinion, the transactions of the Corporation that have come to my notice during my audit of the financial statements have, in all significant respects, been in accordance with Part X of the Financial Administration Act and regulations, the Museums Act and the by-laws of the Corporation.

Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2001

1. Mission and mandate

The Canadian Museum of Civilization (the “Corporation”) was established on July 1, 1990 by the Museums Act. The Canadian Museum of Civilization is an agent Crown corporation named in Part I of Schedule III to the Financial Administration Act. The Canadian War Museum is a component of the Canadian Museum of Civilization.

The mission, as stated in the Museums Act, is as follows:

“to increase, throughout Canada and internationally, interest in, knowledge and critical understanding of and appreciation and respect for human cultural achievements and human behaviour by establishing, maintaining and developing for research and posterity a collection of objects of historical or cultural interest, with special but not exclusive reference to Canada, and by demonstrating those achievements and behaviour, the knowledge derived from them and the understanding they represent.”

The Canadian Museum of Civilization’s operations are divided into five mutually supportive activities which work together to meet all aspects of its mandate. These activities are:

Collect and research

Manages, develops, conserves, and undertakes research on the collections to enhance program delivery and augment the scientific knowledge base. 84 84 Exhibit, educate and communicate

Develops, maintains, and communicates exhibits, programs and activities to further knowledge, critical understanding, appreciation, and respect for human cultural achievements and human behavior.

Accommodate

Managing and maintaining all facilities and related security and hosting services.

Canadian War Museum

An affiliated museum dedicated to Canada’s military history and continuing commitment to peacekeeping.

Corporate services

Governance, corporate management, audit and evaluation, fund raising, commercial activities, finance and administration, human resources, and information systems.

2. Significant accounting policies

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. Significant accounting policies follow.

(a) Inventories

Inventories, which consist of materials for the boutiques and publications, are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value.io (b) Collection

The artifact collection forms the largest part of the assets of the Corporation, and is presented in the balance sheet at a nominal value of $1,000, due to the practical difficulties of determining a meaningful value for these assets.

Objects purchased for the collection of the Corporation are recorded as an expense in the year of acquisition. Objects donated to the Corporation are not recorded in the books of accounts.

(c) Capital assets

Capital assets are valued at cost, net of accumulated amortization.

Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method, over the estimated useful lives of assets:

Leasehold and building improvements 10 years Office furniture and equipment 8 years Technical and informatics equipment 5 and 8 years Motor vehicles 5 years

(d) Pension plan

Employees of the Corporation participate in the Public Service Superannuation Plan, administered by the . The Corporation matched these contributions equally for each employee, for the year in which services are rendered until March 31, 2000. On April 1, 2000 the Corporation’s share of contributions increased to $2.14 for each dollar the employee contributes. The current year Corporation’s share of contributions is $1,777,000 (2000 – $881,000). These contributions are recognized during the year in which services are rendered, and represent the total pension obligations of the Corporation. The Corporation is not required under present legislation to make contributions with respect to actuarial deficiencies of the Public Service 85 Superannuation Account.

(e) Employee termination benefits

Employees of the Corporation are entitled to specified benefits on termination, as provided for under labour contracts and conditions of employment. The cost of these benefits is recognized in the year in which they are earned by the employee. The current year’s expense for these benefits is $609,000 (2000 – $297,000) and total benefits paid during the year amounted to $443,000 (2000 – $106,000). These benefits represent the only obligation of the Corporation that entails settlement by future payment.

(f) Contributions

The Corporation follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions.

Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue when received or receivable if the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Contributions externally restricted, and related investment income, are deferred and recognized as revenue in the year in which the related expenses are incurred.

Volunteers contribute a significant number of hours of service per year. Because of the difficulty of determining their fair value, contributed services are not recognized in these financial statements. (g) Parliamentary appropriation

The Government of Canada provides funding to the Corporation. The portion of the parliamentary appropriation intended to be used to purchase depreciable capital assets is recorded as deferred capital funding and amortized on the same basis and over the same periods as the related capital assets acquired. Parliamentary appropriations for specific projects are deferred and recognized on the statement of operations in the year in which the related expenses are incurred. The remaining portion of the appropriation is recognized in the statement of operations in the year for which it was approved.

3. Cash and short-term investments

The Corporation invests in the short-term money market. The overall portfolio yield as at March 31, 2001 was 5.7% (2000 – 4.9%). All instruments held in short-term investments are rated R1 or better by the Dominion Bond Rating Service. The average term to maturity is 38 days (2000 – 37 days).
