Every season at Phoenix is alive with activities, opportunities, challenges, and achievements. In this report, you will read about how Phoenix sta and volunteers work hard to create special moments. These are made possible through the support of our dedicated donors and have profound impact on the lives of the youth, families, and communities we have the joy of working with. Phoenix is a group eort — supported by the community and guided by the people who access our many, interconnected services. Keeping our programming aligned to real needs with supports that result in true impact is the heartbeat of Phoenix. Mark Donohue, th Chair, Board of Directors In 2016, Phoenix stepped into our 29 year of being there for youth and and Timothy Crooks, families. With our 30th year on the horizon, we decided to examine both the Executive Director robustness of our current delivery and potential for future development. This rigour was intended to ensure Phoenix’s continued success. Over the year, we focused on researching key aspects of our mandate and possibilities for innovation. With new insight at hand, we will begin to stretch in our 30th year, exploring additional possibilities with our community. The sacred trust we hold is to always oer our best in ways that matter. To all who support us, including three levels of government, we deeply thank you for your dedication. We are especially grateful for a multi-year service level agreement with the Government of Nova Scotia’s Department of Community Services, to help support Phoenix’s core program delivery to youth, families, and communities.

Linda’s grandson Kalob had lost his usual twinkle and enthusiasm. He was being bullied at school and had learning struggles. Linda met regularly with the school but needed more support. That’s when she learned about the Phoenix Youth and Family Therapy Program (PYFT). Kalob remembers feeling nervous the fi rst time they walked through the door, but that anxiety quickly subsided as clinical therapist Rachel began getting to know this warm and loving, but overwhelmed, family. “Rachel took us by the hand. She was our guardian angel,” says Linda. Sometimes it was hard to sit and talk, so Rachel and Kalob would toss the football, or go for walks together and explore what Kalob was up against. The sessions focused on fi nding avenues to restore Kalob’s sense of himself as a worthy, capable young man, and his sense of hope and possibility for his future. “I had a pretty good idea of what Kalob needed,” says Linda,” but I didn’t know what to do. Rachel showed us so much compassion and helped us navigate the system.” Rachel also connected Kalob to a range of community supports, advocated for his enrolment in a school that specialized in his particular social and learning needs, and arranged for an assessment that showed he had ADHD. Kalob now enjoys going to school and is able to shine academically. “I got an 11/12 on my last math test!” he says with pride. Rachel also connected Kalob with recreational opportunities like ArtTech Camp that helped his confi dence and social connections grow. Linda says new friendships both at camp and at his new school are making a huge di erence in Kalob’s life. “[Before] Kalob was left out of everything. Kids would pick on him in the playground — he’d come home heartbroken. Now he is getting invited to birthday parties!” Kalob and his grandmother now seem confi dent and hopeful about Kalob’s future. As Linda says, “We have tremendous support behind us. Without Phoenix we would be lost within the system.” The Phoenix team knew the family always had the resilience, strength, and love they needed to help them on their journey, they just needed someone in their corner. Last word goes to Kalob, who wanted to say, “Thank you for helping me get through a lot of stu . Thank you for everything that you have done for me.”

ring š˜„„—Ž Hope and Possibility

There are many reasons why we love working for the Phoenix Youth and Family Therapy program (PYFT). From the beginning, our program was designed to respond to gaps in early intervention services identified by youth and parents, provide cutting-edge therapy, and make sure our services were free and accessible. We especially wanted to reach out to those who have traditionally been underserved or faced discrimination. Our physical space and general atmosphere is warm and welcoming from the moment clients walk in the door. Advocacy is a central piece of the therapy we provide. We continually work to reduce the societal barriers youth and families face while helping them to navigate systems like schools, health, and even arts and recreation opportunities. Our team embraces the complexity of peoples’ lives. Rather than defining clients in terms of their problems, we are interested in the many layers that make

Whether you are planning a vacation, buying a home, or shopping for a new car, knowing your budget and resources is essential. Similarly, at Phoenix we must understand our costs and available resources so we can oer programs and services to youth that are meaningful and relevant. These activities typically require planning, research, and discussion. Sustained support plays an important role in both our current and three-to- five year program planning. Phoenix has been fortunate to have partners who understand the value of multi-year commitments and the impact these gifts ultimately make in the lives of youth. For the past several years, both J.W. Murphy Foundation and Pengrowth Energy Corporation have been two of our multi-year partners. They have both provided flexible funding, which has allowed Phoenix to assign support to areas where it can make the most impact. Having their committed support has allowed us to assess the needs of our youth, evaluate trends within this group, and respond with relevant support. In 2016, we were thrilled when The Windsor Foundation and The Joyce Family Foundation both made three-year commitments to Phoenix. The Windsor Foundation is providing support to Phoenix’s Residential Programs, ensuring youth have their basic needs provided as well as access to sta and supports to help them create individualized plans, develop life skills, and prepare for independent living. The Joyce Family Foundation’s contributions will support Phoenix’s Community Programs, which include early intervention programs for youth and families, housing support, trusteeship and financial management, literacy supports, supportive counselling, education and employment supports, recreational and cultural programming, and outreach to youth throughout Halifax Regional Municipality. Changing the trajectory of a life does not happen overnight. Thanks to committed, multi-year partners like these, Phoenix is able to strategically plan ahead, anticipate trends, and continue to provide a high standard of supports and programs to youth and their families.

Dreamscape is a festive celebration of fresh starts and new possibilities for both the spring season and Phoenix’s strong, resilient youth. The evening of Thursday May 12, 2016, was an exciting event filled with great entertainment; wonderful conversation; interactive fundraising; and a three-course, seasonally inspired meal, all in support of youth and families in our community. Over 400 people played garden-party style games, enjoyed the Phoenix Community Choir, and were wowed by Quake Matthews; Heather Rankin; Kim “Phoenix has helped me with housing, food, and Dunn; Jamie Robinson; and the modern, indie-rock trio The Once. Earlier in most importantly they the day, community members participated in Lincoln Canada’s Driven to Give helped me find stable fundraiser: the company donated $50 to Phoenix for each test drive taken that day, work so I can provide for myself,” shared Morgan, in total raising $7,500! Phoenix youth speaker. Big thanks to the event’s sponsors and all volunteers, including the coordinating committee, led by co-chairs Graham Langill and Luke MacDonald. Their work resulted in a record-breaking fundraising year of over $130,000! We thank you for helping us grow!

Guests of Dreamscape were encouraged to bid on items that provided experiences for youth. Dinner and a tour of the Nova Scotia Legislature hosted by Premier Stephen McNeil was one of the exciting items that our youth participated in after the event! Thanks to all who made this unique and memorable experience possible.

Anyone who has attended a performance by the Phoenix Community Choir knows what it’s like to get “the musical shivers.” For five years, this group of youth, sta, and community members have been coming together to share the pure joy of singing. When the choir was first formed, in 2011, in collaboration with Bishop’s University Choir, its future was undetermined. Now it’s an integral part of Phoenix’s Special Initiatives programming, with the help of community volunteers and sponsors. Our choir has collaborated with a wide variety of other musicians, performed for many audiences, and built a repertoire of 180 songs. Performance is important, but its heart is about community and confidence building that comes from working together, taking chances in a safe space, encouraging each other, and learning new skills. The 5th anniversary of choir brought about change, as we said good-bye to Simon Abbott and hello to Jack Bennet, Phoenix’s new artistic director. We wish Simon all the best and are thrilled to have Jack on our team! We thank all who supported our choir this year, including Nova Voce, the Rotary Club of Halifax Northwest, St. Andrew’s United Church, and the A. Mary Holmes Trust. We look forward to the next five years of singing loud and proud together!

We love crafting special moments for youth and families where we can share in fun with a purpose and build strong relationships. These opportunities are possible thanks to contributions received through government funders and general gifts from our supporters.

Spread the Love Reaches its 4th Year!

Our youth are full of positivity. Four years ago, youth from the Phoenix Youth and Community Centre, Mulgrave Park, decided they wanted to “spread the love” in downtown Halifax. They saw the importance of helping the broader community understand who they are, and took action by handing out kindness in the form of notes and candies. And wow, does the love continue to spread! This year youth were joined by adult members of Mulgrave Park. Together, they gave out 2,500 candy grams to everyone they met. Mayor Savage and Chief Justice Michael MacDonald made the day extra special by opening up the mayor’s o²ce for a tour and holding a mini-mock trial session at the Provincial Court House. It’s amazing what youth can do when given opportunity to take the lead!

Summer Treats at PCFY

Summer was made extra special this year for the youth and families at the Phoenix Centre for Youth (PCFY). The PCFY driveway was converted into a backyard BBQ twice, where youth and sta enjoyed hot dogs grilled by one of our youth. NHL star Andrew Bodnarchuk even dropped in to say hello! In August, youth and their children cooled down and filled up at the centre’s Ice Cream Social that had ALL the fixings. The fun shared was worth every chocolate drop on the floor! “It’s such an honour to share these special treats with the youth. These moments allow us to pause the important advocacy and barrier breaking work in order to really deepen our relationships with the youth, which so often opens up the Amelia Edwards, Team Lead, space for greater support,” said Amelia Edwards, team lead.

Random Acts of Kindness

At Phoenix, we recognize the importance of engaging with youth in a way that opens up possibilities of creating a better future, not only for themselves, but for the world around them. “As sta at Phoenix Youth Programs, we are grateful for the support of the community and believe that a little kindness goes a long way,” said Cheryl Sobie, key worker. “At Phoenix Youth Shelter, we have participated in what we call ‘random acts of kindness’ where sta, along with youth, initiate and carry out a good deed to give back to our community with the goal of spreading kindness around.” Cheryl Sobie, Key Worker, Over the summer, shelter sta and youth held a community BBQ and a cookie Phoenix Youth Shelter giveaway. The community BBQ was a huge success. We gave away 200 hotdogs and pop to people passing by on Tower Road and produced a lot of smiles. In June, youth and sta passed out chocolate chip cookies in the neighbourhood. One person was so touched by the act of kindness that they more than returned the favour with a $100 donation to Phoenix! We are grateful to be part of a community that cares, and we love showing the community how much they mean to us!

Œamp ireRelationship building

Each summer, Phoenix youth have the opportunity to pitch a tent and cook over an open fire. However, as coordinator of the Phoenix Supportive Housing Program, Darren Howie knows the benefits of these camping trips run much deeper. “Youth learn lots of things: camping skills, planning, organizing, patience, and communications to name a few,” said Darren, “but the real impact is seeing another side of yourself, of others, and building deeper relationships.” Darren Howie, He would know. Over his 25 years at Phoenix House and Phoenix Homes for Acting Coordinator, Phoenix Supportive Independence (PHI), Darren has gone camping with youth 12 times. Housing Program Along with the fun, expectations are placed on youth when they camp, such as cooking, cleaning up, pitching their own tents, and caring for campfires. PHI youth have elevated ownership of their camping experience, as they seek to further develop independence. “The youth at PHI have more control over their trip. They decide where they want to go and what attractions they want to visit. They plan their menus, help shop for groceries, and organize themselves for chores. It’s a great youth development opportunity.” It’s also a chance to get to know each other better in a very real way. “Youth see that we can be silly and get to know our personalities,” said Darren. He has also seen how the experience can lead to resolutions back home. “One youth was working through some issues with another youth during the trip. He was upset, so we decided to go for a walk. Walking around the campground in the dark opened up some meaningful discussion. We were able identify and work through some topics that wouldn’t have been said under usual circumstances.” The outcomes are big and we thank our donors who make these types of experiences possible. This year, our camping trips were directly supported by David Thornton and Colin and Carol MacDonald, who purchased Youth Experience, Camping packages at our annual Dreamscape event. “Anything we can do to change the trajectory of someone’s life to make their tomorrow better — more hopeful — is worth it. Part of that is by providing experiences for growing well. Our youth can say they went camping. They can look back on their younger years and generate some nice memories, opportunities and experiences,” says Darren.

Youth often are caught in a vicious circle when it comes to finding employment for the first time, because employers want to hire people with workplace experience. The Transition Program, funded in part by the Government of Canada’s Youth Skills Link program and delivered through the Phoenix Learning and Employment Centre (PLEC), provides an opportunity for youth to learn essential employment, education, and life skills in a safe, welcoming, and open environment. This year, 16 youth and 16 employers participated in the program. Youth spent the first four weeks building soft skills and gaining certificates required to be productive in the workplace. Employers participated as guest speakers, job shadow partners, interview panelists, and also provided workplace tours. Then youth were placed in a supportive work environment for a 12-week paid internship, being trained and supervised by an experienced employer. Most important, the program gets results — for both youth and employers! Massage Addict decided to hire their Transition Program youth when her placement ended. The company commented, “I think we need more programs like this to help youth with barriers into the workplace. I am glad I had the opportunity to be a part of this program and share my skills and abilities to help a young person succeed.”

Phoenix The Oakfield Ladies Charity Golf Tournament held in 2016 in support of Phoenix raised a whopping $4,501.52! “I suggested Phoenix as the charity for the event, as I have been involved with Phoenix to a degree for many years with the Canadian Progress Club Halifax Cornwallis, and I wanted to support them in this way as well,” said Tanya Matthews, the event’s co-chair. The event sold out with 104 participants who enjoyed a glorious summer day on the greens. Participants attended a clinic with a professional golfer and played 18 holes.

The 2016 event was no exception! Phoenix scored another champion lineup with spectacular stories. We were pleased to have Andrew Bodnarchuk join us as honourary chair this year, and guests were inspired by the journeys of players like Zach Fucale, Savannah Newton, and Logan Shaw, among many seasoned professionals. In particular, guests were delightfully entertained by former Halifax Mooseheads captain and fan favourite, Jody Shelley, as a guest interviewer. His conversation with Washington Capitals prospect Liam O’Brien turned out to be one of the evening’s highlights. Scotiabank Champions for Change has earned a reputation as an event like no other in the region — a celebration of hockey in the community, while championing change for youth.

Over time, Austin and his parents came to a mutual decision that it was best for him to leave home. With guidance from a leader at his church, Austin found his way to the Phoenix Youth Shelter where he spent two months completing his high school education before moving into Phoenix House. Austin always had a love of carpentry and wanted to pursue the trade, but like all youth, needed some support to realize his dream. “I was accepted to NSCC, but I wasn’t sure if I could go because I wasn’t sure if I could a ord it. I went to PLEC (Phoenix Learning and Employment Centre) and they were able to help me get funding to go.” Through the Educate to Work program, Austin was able to reduce his student loans by $6,000 and begin the carpentry program. After starting NSCC, Phoenix House sta members saw Austin’s skills and confi dence building. He was going to school and holding down a part-time job at a local gas station. Sta encouraged him to continue his journey and move from Phoenix House to one of the three Phoenix Homes for Independence (PHI). When youth move to PHI, sta help them prepare for increased independence. For example, Austin was given a weekly grocery budget for four weeks leading up to his move. He would buy his own food and cook for himself. “When I fi rst left home I didn’t have a plan. Now I’m living at Oxford (PHI). I have skills — I can cook meals and budget. Independence is the most signifi cant thing Phoenix has given me.” Austin is already looking toward next steps in his future. After he fi nishes the carpentry program, he plans to get “a foot in the trade” and then attend school to become a police o² cer. Even while following his dream, he will always have a love for carpentry. “Someday I’d like to build my own house, and have a family of my own. “Everyone has been so helpful. For donors, it may not seem like a lot, like they’re just dropping o clothes or money, but it does help someone in the end. It makes a di erence. All their contributions help change peoples’ lives. We don’t know who they are, but we still feel grateful. Thank you for supporting me and everyone else at Phoenix.”

 ƒ„º™‡€ˆ § †„ Œomingœ •a ›Creating Confidence

Phoenix’s Special Initiatives program (SPIN) provides youth with the chance to try new things and tap into their many talents for improved mental health, confi dence, and skill building. Lauren Abbott, SPIN coordinator at Phoenix, strongly believes in the value of creative expression for youth. “Providing opportunity for youth to contribute something they can be proud of helps them generate their own stories of themselves. They become artists, musicians, (and) leaders, which may not be words that others have used to describe them previously. These experiences can be truly amazing for youth!” When NSCAD University approached Phoenix to partner on a visual arts program for youth, Lauren jumped at the opportunity. “NSCAD is providing six weeks of visual arts study with two weeks on each medium: ceramics, 3D printing/scanning, and jewelry making. They provide the instructors, space, and all the materials. The instructors are NSCAD students studying how to deliver art programs to under-supported youth, so it’s an amazing fi t!” Eight youth were selected for the program based on their passion for the arts, participation in artistic endeavours (such as Phoenix’s Open Studio held each week in partnership with the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia), and interest in pursuing post-secondary education. The results have been a dream come true for some youth, who are enthralled by the opportunity to create in the studios at NSCAD’s campuses. “All of the NSCAD instructors commented on how skilled the Phoenix artists are. They are building incredible pieces and confi dence. I love watching their faces light up,” says Lauren. We are so grateful for NSCAD and other partnerships with our community that reduce resource pressures and grow opportunities. “Our youth have so many hidden gifts. Let’s explore them; let’s discover them; let’s encourage them! We provide essentials that are so important, but there is Lauren Abbott, more to fulfi ll youth and help them be successful. SPIN helps youth tap into talents Special Initiatives Programmer and motivates in ways that make them spark.”

The Phoenix Youth Outreach Program (YOP) is there for youth living in communities throughout the HRM. The YOP team of two supports youth with education, employment, housing, health and many other needs. Recently when youth expressed their feelings of isolation, YOP workers Greg and Alana listened. “We got creative and started bringing 4–8 youth together at a time, once or twice a month to go to the beach, the movies, on the haunted walk and more,” said Alana. Greg continued, “We are highly connected to both youth and agencies in HRM, so bringing youth together for group activities makes a lot of sense.” It’s tricky to coordinate activities for a group of youth who live across the HRM, but it’s very important. Alana explained, “Group programming is allowing youth to build their own support networks and life skills. They know that

other youth are experiencing similar situations. This has a Greg Rozon and Alana Cuvelier, positive impact on their mental health.” Youth Outreach Workers

These women are there for Phoenix and their philanthropy can be counted on in many ways.

Take Lisa, Jackie, and Allison for example. Between them, these three remarkable women have been volunteering with Phoenix for a combination of 35 years, providing a wide variety of support that includes collecting donations, cooking meals at the residential programs, assisting at Phoenix fundraisers, stu²ng Christmas stockings, and assisting in mock interviews at the Phoenix Learning and Employment Centre, etc.

The Canadian Progress Club Halifax Cornwallis Charitable Foundation (CPC Halifax Cornwallis) is a committed group of volunteer women totally focused on helping those in need in our community since 1988.

PhoenixDonorReport2017.indd 20 2017-06-01 11:14 AM žŸsionae¢ What motivates you to give back?

Lisa The first time I set foot in Phoenix House, I knew that I wanted to belong to Progress Club and give back to Phoenix. Just knowing that I am helping youth strive to have their best life and contribute to their livelihood is what motivates me. And, knowing that I could help give them a life that both my boys were lucky to have is something that means a lot.

Allison Volunteering makes me feel really good and gives me the opportunity Lisa to make a dierence in the community.

Jackie Volunteering continues to teach me new things about people, co- operation and compassion, and it reminds me that we are all in this together. We need to support each other. Hearing the success stories of Phoenix youth makes for the best motivation.

In the many years you’ve been volunteering with Phoenix, did you experience a moment that surprised or wowed you?

Lisa At a Phoenix event, a former youth spoke about how Phoenix “saved him.” Allison I was amazed at his experience and it really stuck with me. That moment really surprised me and I realized just how much Phoenix does for these youth and how it helps them become incredible adults.

Allison There is not one particular moment that stands out; however, there are many that do. Seeing the youth at the shelter enjoying and being so appreciative of the meal that I help prepare the last Wednesday of every month is great. Hearing the youth speak at our annual Progress Club Women of Excellence dinner and at Phoenix events is very inspirational and heartfelt.

Jackie I have had so many “wow” moments in working with this tremendous organization that it is hard to pick a single one. Seeing the Phoenix Community Jackie Choir perform, hearing the stories of the youth who are now contributing back to their communities and having success in their lives, and seeing the gratitude of the youth at the shelter when we cook for them are truly humbling moments for me. The feeling of really making a dierence in the lives of people who need a “hand up” in life is one of the most important factors for me in volunteering.

Phoenix youth have the potential and drive to get them where they need to go. Along the road, what some may consider a bump, such as an overdue phone bill, low value/high interest loan, or small fines can derail young people with limited monthly income. Luckily, Phoenix is here to help through the Trusteeship, Housing Support, and Phoenix Trusteeship Learning and Employment programs — plus a group of community supporters! Program supports up Phoenix sta advocate for youth with landlords, utility companies, and loan to 50 youth per year. providers. We help youth manage tight budgets and meet financial commitments required to achieve stable housing, education, and employment opportunities. The Co-operators, The financial support provided by local families makes stability possible. Funding RBC, and Home Depot from the Apold family reduces barriers by covering educational assessments, provided Phoenix with the resources tenant’s insurance, supplies for education (e.g., laptops and knives for culinary for work placements school), and other specific needs. Not needing to worry about these additional and other supports for expenses can be literally life-changing for many youth and families. employment success in 2016–2017. Thank you! Through the Dadford-Simpsons family, Phoenix provides microloans to youth who are committed to escaping debt. We’ve seen how sometimes all it takes is a $40, interest-free loan paid back by the youth over time with trustee support, to create the stability needed for youth to start thinking about next steps in their journey. We are so excited when that next step is pursuing post-secondary education. We realize that these opportunities also require resources. Beyond generic student loan and tuition streams, Phoenix youth are able to access scholarship funds and other education-based resources, such as books, tools, and laptops through generous support from the Veino family, Joyce King, and the Robert Brown Memorial Scholarship. We’re passionate about helping youth help themselves, and forever grateful for those in the community who plan and provide so youth can succeed.

Judith Ferguson has been involved with Phoenix for over 18 years. Her engagement began while working for the Nova Scotia Department of Community Services. After she retired from her post as deputy minister, she decided to continue her relationship with us. When a position was oered to her on Phoenix’s Board of Directors, Judith didn’t hesitate. “I have always been impressed with how Phoenix operates,” says Judith. “The concept of ‘we will stick with you’ really resonates with me. Phoenix is a moment in time for young people, where sta listen, understand, figure out what’s needed, and provide resources and guidance Phoenix’s 30th year is a great time to become a in a way that perhaps many who come through the agency’s doors may not have monthly donor!

Part They started staying at the Phoenix Youth Shelter and felt supported by the of this includes referring sta . As a non-binary individual, stigma and lack of understanding surrounding to people using their preferred pronouns. non-binary people was at the root of some of Rae’s unhealthy behaviours, but at the shelter, they understood. “This was the fi rst time I felt safe. I was so happy I cried tears of joy!” One day, a youth at the shelter told Rae about the snacks at the Phoenix Centre for Youth (PCFY). “The snacks alone sold me! When I got there I found out there were free clothes too, donated by the community.” Rae started dressing in a way that was more comfortable for them. “Over time I realized the sta at the centre, like all the sta at Phoenix, are amazing and passionate individuals. They saw the passion in me as well.” In the summer, Rae was nominated for RBC’s Make 150 Count campaign, which gave $150 to thousands of youth, encouraging them to do something great for their communities with the resources. “I gave back to my community by doing a ‘shoe walk’. Three hundred pairs of shoes were collected for people in need. It was truly an amazing experience… one I’m pretty proud of!” Rae naturally wants to help others. This is a beautiful trait, but one that has its challenges too. When Rae moved out of the shelter, they chose roommates who didn’t reciprocate the support Rae o ered. “I was constantly worried about what I could come home to.” Marianne, Case Manager at PCFY, saw Rae was struggling and asked if Rae had considered living alone. Donna, Phoenix’s Housing Support worker, helped Rae apply for a rent subsidy. Debbie, Phoenix Trustee, helps Rae manage their tight budget. By providing a circle of support, Rae is able to live on their own with their cat Matilda. “A lot of people are confused when I say I go to Phoenix because I have a place of my own. I tell them Phoenix doesn’t just help homeless people; they help any youth who is under-supported.” Rae has been accepted to Mount Saint Vincent University for 2017 where they will major in Women and Gender Studies! “A lot of people in my situation may not know what they need, but whatever it is, Phoenix can help. I know Phoenix is able to do what they do because of compassionate individuals in the community who give to Phoenix. I want to thank them!”

A Festive Fete for Phoenix Youth Time + Space Media

Phoenix’s holiday youth party is a community eort where youth (past and present) and their families can dress up, have fun, connect, feast, and enjoy the season. It’s a party that sta member Kilby McRae, Employment Counsellor, Phoenix Learning and Employment Centre, has been involved with for 10 years. “The young people who come to us for support are more than worth a party! We want them to be ‘feted’!” exclaimed Kilby. It all starts with generosity from the community. Members of the Bedford United Church Outreach group sew a hundred stockings and other volunteers stu them with donated items such as socks, toothpaste, personal care items, bus tickets, hats… the list goes on. Time + Space Media, Canadian Progress Club Halifax Cornwallis, and RBC have all donned elf hats in the past and turned the donation centre into Santa’s workshop! The eort continues with more than a dozen sta from other Phoenix programs getting together to plan an evening of dinner and activities for an event that has grown to include approximately 100 people. Four years ago, sta organizers were scrambling for a more suitable venue because of that growth, so they called St. Antonios Orthodox Church to ask about renting Olympic Hall Community Centre. The church oered the hall at no charge, St. Antonios women & teens threw in the dinner, and have been sponsoring the event ever since! Their generous gift lets us keep growing the party. The women of the church arrive hours ahead of time to prepare a traditional turkey dinner with all the fixings, and they add a delicious twist to the meal by putting homemade hummus on the menu. The church’s youth group members volunteer to decorate the hall, set the tables, put up the lights, and serve the meal. They run the tabletop activities, help out with the children’s zone and face painting, and when Santa arrives, they help with that too. All this support allows Phoenix sta to spend time with the guests, mingling, visiting, chatting, and celebrating achievements and milestones.

Kilby feels the eort to put the event together is 100 per cent worth it. “Every Kilby McRae, young person who comes through the door of Phoenix has great capacity for Employment Counsellor growing, for learning, and for contributing to the world around them. They struggle sometimes and work hard all the time to achieve their goals — often without the support others can take for granted. Our intention for the holiday party is give these young people a pleasant evening of fun, friendship, and food; to treat them to an evening out, give them a small gift, make them feel special — because they’re worth it.”

 ivin± ’‘­€“Ž Ambassadors for Phoenix

Upon meeting Shirley and Neil Bergman, you are struck at once by their gentle grace and humble presence. The fact that they have been supporting Phoenix for nearly 20 years is something they pass o as natural and unremarkable. Yet the longevity of their support and dedication is inspiring to us. Shirley and Neil were first introduced to Phoenix through close friends, Verna Munroe and her husband Austin. Verna had been a long-time Phoenix supporter and volunteer, and avidly promoted Phoenix to her friends and fellow church members. Shirley fondly remembers Verna passionately advocating for Phoenix: “You couldn’t say ‘No’ to Verna.” Both Shirley and Neil were very involved with their church and, upon her retirement, Shirley became more involved with the Women’s Inter-Church Council. Shirley, Verna, and another long- time Phoenix supporter, Elizabeth Brown, collectively promoted Phoenix in each of their churches. “We really saw ourselves as ambassadors for Phoenix. We spoke about Phoenix to fellow church members and promoted fundraising for Phoenix.” Through these activities, a group was formed — Food for Phoenix. Representatives were recruited from various local churches and denominations with each representative choosing a month for their church to provide snacks for Phoenix Centre for Youth. The program took o and still continues today. Shirley and Neil continue to be heavily involved in Food for Phoenix and embrace their role as ambassadors for Phoenix wherever they go. This year, Shirley and Neil chose to support Phoenix in a new way: they gave a gift of stock. While meeting with their financial advisor, he asked them if they had considered making their donation through stock rather than a cash donation. This type of gift allowed them to avoid capital gains tax and, after discussing this option with their financial advisor, they decided this was a great way for them to

 support Phoenix. When asked about their nearly two decades of committed support for Phoenix, the answer is simple, “It’s an opportunity to help youth.”

PhoenixDonorReport2017.indd 29 2017-06-01 11:14 AM Motivatio– 527,040 Minutes – A Year at Phoenix

Thinking back on the past year at Phoenix, we remember four seasons of people. People who give back. People who work tirelessly. People who care. Most importantly, we think of approximately 800 young people who came through the doors of our 10 locations looking for support. Our youth never cease to amaze us. They are brave, resilient, talented, and full of potential. They open themselves to new possibilities, even when it’s scary. All youth benefit greatly from having trusted adults in their lives who advocate, accompany, and sometimes just listen. Phoenix sta are those trusted allies. Our fund development team is motivated by the youth, families, and communities who come to Phoenix, as well our compassionate, selfless, and dedicated colleagues. We are proud to be part of a team of skilled Phoenix Fund professionals who are ready to respond to each young person’s individual Development Team needs. That passion is fuelled by our caring collective of community members. Our community is our heartbeat. The generosity and commitment Phoenix receives from those surrounding us enables our work and elevates impact. Every part of this report includes moving stories and staggering statistics made possible by our supporters — by you.
