INCONNECTION - SECOND QUARTER 2013 INCONNECTION APRIL 1 - JUNE 30, 2013 INSIDE A MESSAGE FROM INSPIREHEALTH’S CEO Message from the CEO 1 THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2013 HAS BEEN AN A Patient’s Story 2 EXCITING TIME OF CHANGE AND GROWTH HERE Statistical Summary 3 AT INSPIREHEALTH. A major highlight of the past three Patient Care Programs 5 months was the tremendous work done by our Virtual Centre, InspireLIFE BC in launching an online pilot project. Strategic Alliances 6 Events and Talks 7 The success of the pilot project is another milestone in General Media and Social Media 9 realizing the vision of InspireLIFE BC: to provide education, Development 10 clinical services and support to cancer patients who live Dr. Hal Gunn in rural and remote parts of the province or who have Co-Founder and CEO Research 11 other access-to-service challenges. People outside of InspireHealth Virtual Centre - InspireLIFE BC 12 urban areas have higher disease rates and less access LIFE Program Feedback 13 to specialized services to help with their diseases. InspireLIFE BC is part of the solution for providing services to those people. Online programming for delivery of healthcare services is a new and growing field. The many benefits include convenient access to services that patients would otherwise have to travel to attend in person. Access to information and education regarding their disease and treatment helps patients cope with the day to day strain of dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Especially important in smaller communities, a greater degree of anonymity in interactive group sessions is greatly appreciated by patients. -
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. Please review my caveats at the end about the reliability and usage of T3010 information.

Canada has an abundance of talent competing nationally and internationally and The Department of Canadian Heritage and factor’s private radio broadcaster sponsors can be very proud that through their generous contributions, they have made a difference in the careers of so many success stories. -
