ANNUAL REPORT VISION The Canadian Canoe Museum is a family- friendly museum that explores the canoe’s enduring significance to the Peoples of , Turtle Island and the World. MISSION To provide for all who encounter the collection, virtually or in person, a unique national heritage centre that explores and communicates the enduring significance of canoes, kayaks and related self-propelled craft to the Peoples of Canada.

OUR CORE VALUES

COLLECTION - We value the stewardship of our collection: the craft, artifacts and research materials related to canoes, kayaks and self-propelled water travel—striving to be known as the destination for “all things canoe” by celebrating, documenting, preserving, C handling and conserving the collection in ways befitting its uniqueness and value;

ABORIGINAL ROOTS - We value the origins of the collection—celebrating where possible and appropriate the people and places, cultures and traditions, the faces and the stories, of First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples from which the Canadian tradition A has grown;

NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE - We are committed to connecting the collection and related activities (exhibits, research, education, outreach) to all in a context that honours the full historic continuum of builders, building traditions and stories of self- N propelled watercraft from coast to coast to coast; ORGANIZATION - We value the nurturing of board, staff, volunteers, membership and the Museum itself as a robust community, as well organization, as in being organized, meaning commitment to acting respectfully & responsibly, striving for excellence, order; 0 and environmental sustainability in all things; EXPERIENCE - We value collaborative experience, meaning we seek where possible and appropriate to avoid flat transmission of canoe-related knowledge, opting instead to create in our exhibits and programs hands-on experiences in which visitors can actively E explore canoes and canoeing traditions. CHAIR’S MESSAGE 2015 marked the mid-point of our organization’s ambitious 10-year strategic plan (2010 to 2020).

The plan, Onto The National Stage, charts our course for the future with an ambitious agenda. It articulates reinvention and relocation — a “Two-Row” approach, inspired by the wampum belts of First Nations from whom the canoe originates. As intended, the two threads of our future are being sewn simultaneously, one inextricably linked to the other.

In this Annual Report, you will read about the Canadian Canoe Museum’s accomplishments and the ways its people — all those WILLIAM O. MORRIS affiliated with the organization — are supporting, and advancing its Chair, Board of Directors strategic plan. Our community of contributors carries the threads of our future; and it is for this reason, that we exist and continue to excel as an organization.

In 2015, we furthered our reinvention and relocation agendas and in doing so, fostered a stronger, more sustainable organization. How?

10 • Canadian Canoe Museum - Annual Report 2015 TREASURER’S REPORT The year 2015 resulted in an excess of revenue over expenditures of $12,121 compared to a deficiency of $34,893 in the previous year.

This improvement was primarily attributable to a Founders’ Circle fundraising initiative designed to raise national awareness of the Canadian Canoe Museum in support of further fundraising and redevelopment initiatives. Revenue increases were also realized in admissions, memberships, educational programs and rental income. Expenditures increased during the year as a result of higher staffing levels, and increased marketing, fundraising, facilities and administrative expenses.

Redevelopment revenue and redevelopment expense of $204,994 reflect funds raised and expenditures incurred with respect to the plans to relocate the Canadian Canoe Museum to the Peterborough Lift Lock National Historic Site.

Cash and short-term investments amounted to $680,024 as of December 31, 2015, which represents a $216,733 increase compared to the previous year. The increase in cash and investments mainly reflects the improvements in operating activities described above, as well as the timing of accounts payable. Capital spending in 2015 of $69,094 includes the acquisition of voyageur canoes in support of water based programs at the Peterborough Lift Lock, as well as certain computer equipment, which was financed through a capital lease.

Canadian Canoe Museum - Annual Report 2015 • 15 RISKS & CHALLENGES The Canadian Canoe Museum faces a number of risks and challenges. The Board and staff of the Museum regularly review risks and mitigation strategies in order to safeguard the Museum. Insurance coverage is reviewed annually to ensure the Museum has adequate coverage. The following key risks are discussed here.

RESOURCES & SUSTAINABILITY To continue to thrive and grow as a national institution that has local significance it is imperative that the Museum continues to improve its financial sustainability, by building up its development resources and consistently and strategically expanding and improving the scope and depth of its supporters. That said, the challenge of securing and maintaining strong core funding is one shared by most non-profit cultural organizations. Recognizing this, one of the Museum’s main goals is to continue to build strong relationships with its investors and build new relationships across the country. In 2015, the Museum received $95,000 in funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation for a fundraising feasibility study, a case for support, printing materials, and to hire a campaign manager. External fundraising consultant KCI conducted the fundraising feasibility study in the summer of 2015 and the campaign manager will be hired in early 2016 to implement the plans and recommendations identified by the study and to continue to to build out the funding base of the Museum. All of these actions have already yielded positive results and will continue to strengthen the Museum’s financial sustainability.

NATIONAL RELEVANCE & AWARENESS As the Museum continues to move forward with its strategic plan Onto the National Stage and seek the support of all three levels of government, exemplifying to the nation that the Museum’s collection, exhibitions and programs have national significance is ever important. The Museum has been involved over the years in cross-Canada speaking tours and travelling exhibitions, however a more deliberate effort is needed in order to work toward sustained long-term solutions. The Museum is committed to optimizing its national significance and relevance, so in 2015, the Museum team began the foundational planning for a national outreach strategy to be executed in 2016. To raise awareness about the Museum, its stories told through exhibitions and programming, and the ultimate goal to relocate and reinvent as a legacy project of Canada’s sesquicentennial, the Museum has planned a number of outreach activities and friendraising events (Silver Canoe events) to be held in major Canadian cities in late 2015 and early 2016. These events will help to build awareness about the Museum’s plans for relocation and reinvention and raise funds with a new level of supporters, the Founders’ Circle. To further enhance engagement with these new audiences, the Museum is partnering with the International Sustainability Education Foundation to deliver paddle making and photography programs with aboriginal youth across Canada.
