  • Connections Competence Confidence Character
    Connections Confidence Competence Character Executive Director’s Report As Moorelands (formerly the DCA) celebrates its 100th Anniversary this year, we honour the people – the generations of volunteers, staff, donors, supporters and advisors – who are responsible for 100 years of innovative, dynamic and persistent work to improve the lives of socially and economically disadvantaged children and families in the City of Toronto. We rejoice in Moorelands’ long history of creative work responding to, and reducing barriers posed by poverty, while creating opportunities for the well-being of vulnerable children, their families and neighbourhoods. With its rich history in community service to a variety of at-risk communities, for the past 15 years Moorelands has chosen to focus exclusively on its work with low-income children and youth. Last year alone, Moorelands provided more than 1,000 children and youth from some of the poorest neighbourhoods in this City with opportunities to gain new skills, competencies and strategies to help them meet the challenges of adolescence and adulthood. Recognizing that investment in children will yield benefits to both the individuals served and to their families and communities for generations, Moorelands has become a model service provider using evidence-based practices grounded in both academic and field research with a rigorous internal and external evaluation regime. As we look to the future, our vision is to become one of Toronto’s leading providers of evidence-based out-of- school programs for disadvantaged children and youth. With your support, we can change the course of children’s lives and replicate our model of success throughout low-income Toronto neighbourhoods.

Those attending the ground-breaking ceremony included Colin Asselstine, General Manager of Kluane Community Development Corp. (above, left) and Bullfrog’s Dave Borins (above, right). The festivities also featured an inspiring performance by Fancy Shawl dancer Marissa Mills (top). Thanks to your support, Bullfrog has been a longstanding supporter of the project—read more on p.4. Background photo: Sheep Creek Trail in Kluane National Park Rebuilding a community As small as we are, we’re one of the largest Indigenous communities on the West Coast. Like many First Nations groups in Canada, we’re still recovering from the long-term effects of the Sixties Scoop and the residential school era in Canada. In the late 1970s and 80s, our community was in a situation where for the first time in generations, our children were being raised in Bella Bella without the threat of removal. At the same time, we were reasserting our independence by beginning to manage a number of services in the community.

The recent growth in Paul Tan CU's financials is driven largely from its organic utility segment growth owing 416 352 4593 [email protected] primarily to the continued natural resource development in the Province of Andrew M. Kuske Alberta. CU should continue to benefit from the continued growth of this 416 352 4561 natural resource for the foreseeable future. Another positive outcome has [email protected] been the greater proportion of earnings coming from a more stable source. We believe this organic growth will translate into continued earnings and dividend growth. ■ Geographic Diversification: CU wants to duplicate its success in Alberta to other markets in the globe that have similar characteristics as the Canadian province. The company has targeted Australia and Mexico to supplement its Alberta base growth. We believe with CU can benefit from the natural resources growth in Western Australia (iron ore and LNG) and the planned National Infrastructure Program being implemented in Mexico.
