  • A Defining Year
    ANNUAL REPORT 2014 A DEFINING YEAR QMUNITY at Pride Parade Photo credit: QMUNITY A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIR OF THE BOARD AND OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Over the last 35 years so much has changed. In 1969 we were considered criminals, and pathologized for being queer. In 2014 Laverne Cox, an openly trans, African-American woman, graces the cover of Time Magazine. The world is changing, and our organization continues to change alongside it—yet at our core, the mission remains the same. QMUNITY continues to exist to improve queer and trans lives. QMUNITY Receiving City of Vancouver Award of Excellence for Diversity and Inclusion Diversity for of Excellence Award Vancouver of City Receiving QMUNITY Vancouver of City credit: Photo 2 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIR OF THE BOARD AND OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Despite the advancement in legal equalities, many people continue to struggle to come out at school, work, or in the home. We are changing that. By ensuring that every single person has an opportunity to feel safe, included, and free from discrimination, we are translating our legal equalities into lived equalities. We know there is still work to be done. In 2014, we reached over 43,000 people, a 23% increase from 2013. We were able to increase our impact by expanding our full-time staff from 8 people to 11 people. This was in large part to our supporters, who helped us increase our budget by 14.6%. But those are just the numbers. Community happens when we celebrate our seniors at the annual Honouring Our Elders Tea, provide 860 hours of free professional counselling, or by advocating for trans friendly schools at the Vancouver School Board.

As usual, the Foundation office has been buzzing with activity. We wrapped up our 2016 Gala, whichthrive raised a staggering $435,000+ for the purchase of a brand new, modern digital x-ray unit for the hospital’s medical imaging department, and the plans are coming together for the ER expansion and new residential care and hospice facility. Needless to say, it has been all hands on deck! Speaking of the Peace Arch Hospital Gala, we decided to shake things up for 2016 and create a whole new experience for our guests, some of whom come year after year. Our Vintage Vegas themed evening was a huge success complete with Elvis, the Rat Pack and a special appearance by Marilyn Monroe who sang her rendition of Happy Birthday to our outgoing board chair, Art Reitmayer, as only Marilyn can. Look for pictures of this fun night of philanthropy on page 6. I would also like to introduce you to our new board chair, Siobhan Philips, who took the reins just last month. She is a dedicated volunteer and passionate fundraiser who has a long history of giving back to her community. Check out pages 12 and 13 for a profile on Siobhan. Lastly, we feature two extraordinary donors in this issue – Westland Insurance who recently made a gift of $500,000 to the ER expansion project and the late Margaret Rodgers, a wonderful friend of the Foundation who dedicated her final birthday to fundraise for Peace Arch Hospital.
