We’ve come a long way since our first year’s granting total of $40,000, and this past year has been a true testament to our growth: • we awarded over $2-million in major grants to 73 initiatives across Canada, and in small grants to 451 shelters for abused women • we raised more than $1-million for women’s shelters and violence prevention programs through Shelter from the Storm, our national fundraising and awareness campaign dedicated to ending violence against women • we presented four regional Economic Development Skills Institutes to learn and share best practices for moving low-income women out of poverty • we hosted two more successful “Women Play BIG” women and philanthropy conferences in partnership with Play BIG • we completed our first year of granting for the pilot phase of the Girls’ Fund and have been hearing great news about the impact of our funding This report gives us a chance to look back at the year with pride and renewed commitment, and to celebrate our partners: the corporations, individuals and foundations that are helping to create long-term change; and the grant recipients who are transforming the lives of women and girls every day. It’s your effort and commitment that reminds us there’s nothing we can’t achieve together for women and girls in Canada. As we move into a new year of leading change in the lives of women and girls, we look forward to the continued pleasure of your company and the power of your support.

Governor Retailing in Canada continues to evolve and change, and growing the business and profits is frustratingly slow in this climate of rapid change. However, success will go to those who are most responsive to the customer and marketplace while respecting the fundamentals of the business. Although we are disappointed with the year’s results, we remain confident and committed to the strategy of an integrated Hbc delivering increasingly better and targeted assortments through distinct yet integrated banners, backed by a solid balance sheet, great real estate and a robust “back-of-house” capability. The consumer continues to be ever more price conscious and selective, for the past decade we have experienced a low level general deflation that is forcing more units at lower prices into the marketplace as retailers look for sales growth. At Hbc, we are accelerating the pace of offering our customers ever better value through consolidating our purchases and finding or engineering great values internationally. Our programs such as Power Buys, Style Outlets and our newest entry, Designer Depot, are meant to ensure we remain in the forefront of delivering value to Canadians.
