Major events jolted our world, in particular the Arab Spring, and the from big cities, rural villages, refugee earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The College experienced them through the lives of camps, orphanages, public schools, our students and their families, and through our alumni, engaged as protesters and private schools and no schools at reporters in Tahrir Square, and as Red Cross workers and volunteers in Canada and all—all on full scholarship. Japan. Every day we were—are—reminded of the impact our fearless alumni are having on the world. ” At the College, it was a year of rebuilding. We began the renovation of Calgary House, 10 rooms funded through a quiet word-of-mouth campaign. We put our fiscal house in order, too, balancing our operating budget for the first time in many years. And the gifts kept coming: alumni set records for total number of donors and number of recurring donors. Years 4-5-6 alumni generously funded a new dock, which floated into the bay in April. Our students came from every imaginable background and location—from big cities, rural villages, refugee camps, orphanages, public schools, private schools and no schools at all—all on full scholarship. They, too, were part of campus renewal, helping to revitalize the Pearson experience. They worked tirelessly to create a new daily schedule, establish a student-led afternoon dedicated to fitness and develop ways to make campus life healthier for everyone. All of what happens at Pearson College is made possible through the generous contributions of others, both in terms of financial support and the hours of expertise given to the College. We are grateful. On behalf of the entire Pearson College community, it is a privilege to say: Thank you. Warmest regards from Pedder Bay, DaviD Hawley, Director 03 The past year has been one of significant progress for Pearson College, justification for the optimism the Trustees share following the difficult decision we took in 2010 to downsize the student enrollment by 20%. Positive steps that occurred in the past year include: Balancing the operating budget (there was a small surplus!) for the first time in many years. Taking advantage of the reduction in student enrollment to upgrade the campus infrastructure. We have now raised sufficient funds to cover all rooms in Calgary House, with renovations well underway. Improving our fundraising capabilities with the hiring of Sarah Nelems as Vice President of Philanthropy and Engagement. Susan Green and her committee are to be commended for their hard work in this regard. Converting Vision 20/20 into more of a strategic plan. Launching a formal capital campaign under the chair of Trustee Jim Hayhurst, with the goal of overcoming our longstanding infrastructure deficit. We continue to attract high-quality individuals to serve as Trustees (1/3 are now alumni), people committed to Pearson College and determined to see the College succeed. David Hawley, beginning a new five-year term as Director, and his team also continue to do an outstanding job. As I complete my term as Chair, I want to express my appreciation for the efforts of David Hawley and all of our Trustees. It has been a privilege to work with you. I admit, this position has had its “moments,” but when I see the opportunities provided to the students, and the enthusiastic way in which they embrace them, I am full of hope, and I know that Pearson College will make the world a better place.

  • Largest Gifts from Canadian Charities to Other Qualified Donees in 2012
    www.globalphilanthropy.ca Largest Gifts from Canadian Charities to other Qualified Donees in 2012 By Mark Blumberg (January 3, 2014) Canadian charities, depending on their objects can carry out charitable activities in three different ways. Some do all three. 1) A registered charity can conduct charitable activities using staff and volunteers. 2) A registered charity can work with an intermediary who is not a qualified donee as long as it has “direction and control” over its funds as set out in CRA’s two Guidances on the subject (at http://bit.ly/ybUGAB) 3) A registered charity can make a gift to a qualified donee. For a list of qualified donees see: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/chrts- gvng/qlfd-dns/qd-lstngs/menu-eng.html We recently reviewed the T3010 information for 2012. The database was prepared by the Charities Directorate of CRA in October 2013 and covers about 82,500 charities of the approximately 86,000 Canadian registered charities and their 2012 T3010 returns. www.globalphilanthropy.ca Here is a list of all gifts over $500,000 from the 2012 T3010 Registered Charity Information Returns.

Through my research I have found that both entities follow a very similar timeline with highs and lows coming around the same time in the same province; although, I have not found any direct linkage between the two. My analysis begins around 1837 and continues through present day, and by analyzing the histories of each movement demonstrates clearly that both movements followed a unique and similar timeline.
