Report from General Manager Ceal Tournier

It was a proud moment In December 2012 when system-wide (including all member First Nations’ clinics), the Saskatoon Tribal Council’s health and wellness programs and services achieved primer accredited status through Accreditation Canada.

Accreditation Canada is a not-for- profit, independent organization accredited by the International Society for Quality in Health Care (ISQua). Presentation of Accreditation plaques to Yellow Quill First Nation Accreditation Canada provides national and international health and wellness care organizations and systems with a comprehensive external peer review. This systematic process aims to assess and identify areas to improve the services and care provided to patients and clients based on standards of excellence. Accreditation Canada’s programs and guidance have helped over a thousand organizations promote quality and the highest standards of health and wellness care for over 50 years.

With STC Leadership identifying independent third–party scrutiny as a mechanism of both accountability and credibility; achieving accreditation status required the dedication and attention of each and every staff member across our whole system in twelve areas of focus including; client safety; quality assurance; governance and administration; documentation; infection control; staff safety and satisfaction, to name just a few.

Accreditation is a major achievement which will open a number of important doors and solidifies theS askatoon Tribal 2012 Annual Report | Saskatoon Tribal Council 13

2 significant accounting policies These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for government, as defined in the CICA Public Sector Accounting and Auditing Handbook, as prescribed by Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (“AANDC”) and include the following significant accounting policies:

Measurement uncertainty T he preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Items requiring the use of significant estimates include the useful life of tangible capital assets and provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable. Estimates are based on the best information available at the time of preparation of the financial statements and are reviewed annually to reflect new information as it becomes available. Measurement uncertainty exists in these financial statements.A ctual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue recognition F unding received or receivable under the terms of agreements with government agencies is recognized as revenue when related expenses are incurred. Funding earned but not yet expended is recorded as deferred revenue.

Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, balances with banks net of bank overdrafts and term deposits having a maturity of three months or less at acquisition which are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.

Tangible capital assets and amortization Tangible capital assets include acquired, built, developed and improved tangible capital assets, whose useful life extends beyond one year and which are intended to be used on an ongoing basis for delivering services.

T angible capital assets are initially recorded at cost and are amortized over their expected useful lives using the straight- line method:

Office equipment and furnishing 5 years Computer equipment and software 3.33 years Leasehold improvements 5 years Equipment 3.33 years

T angible capital assets are written down when conditions indicate that they no longer contribute to the corporation’s ability to provide goods and services or when the value of future economic benefits associated with tangible capital asset is less than its net book value.

Donated assets Donated assets are recorded at fair value when fair value can be reasonably estimated. 44 moving forward 30 Years and Beyond

1 Description of operations STC Health & Family Services Inc. (the “Corporation”) has been established to operate a child protection agency and to provide support and related social services to the Kinistin, Mistawasis, Muskeg Lake, Muskoday, One Arrow, Whitecap Dakota and Yellow Quill First Nations.

The Corporation was incorporated in September 1995, under the Canada Corporations Act as a not-for-profit corporation and remained inactive until April 1, 1998, at which time operations commenced. Beginning April 1, 2002, the Corporation expanded to include various health programs that had been operated by Saskatoon Tribal Council Inc.

2 significant accounting policies The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for government as defined in the CICA Public Sector Accounting and Auditing Handbook and include the following significant accounting policies:

Measurement uncertainty The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Items requiring the use of significant estimates include the useful life of tangible capital assets and provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable. Estimates are based on the best information available at the time of preparation of the financial statements and are reviewed annually to reflect new information as it becomes available. Measurement uncertainty exists in these financial statements.A ctual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized under the terms of applicable funding agreements. Funding received or receivable under the funding agreements, which relates to a subsequent fiscal period, is reflected as deferred revenue which will be reported as revenue in subsequent fiscal years as the related expenses are incurred.

Tangible capital assets and amortization

The cost of the tangible capital assets is recorded as additions to tangible capital assets and the related funding is recorded as deferred revenue in the year of acquisition.

Tangible capital assets and the related funding are amortized to operations over their expected useful life using the following rates: Building 4% declining balance office furniture and equipment 5 year straight line Computer equipment and software 30% -100% declining balance

STC Health & Family Services Inc. Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2013

income taxes The Corporation was incorporated under The Non-Profit Corporations Act of Saskatchewan and is not subject to income tax under the provisions of paragraph 149(1) of the Income Tax Act.

Financial instruments The corporation recognizes and measures its financial assets and liabilities as follows: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, due from related parties, accounts payable and accrued holiday pay and deferred revenue are initially recorded at fair value. All financial assets and liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Interest attributable to financial instruments is reported in the statement of operations. Financial assets are tested for impairment at the end of each reporting period when there are indications that an asset may be impaired. When financial assets are impaired, impairment losses are recorded in the statement of operations.

STC Urban First Nations Services INc. Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012

1 Description of operations STC Urban First Nations Services Inc. (the “Corporation”) was incorporated June 28, 1994 under the Non-Profit Corporation’s Act and commenced operations December 1, 1994. The Corporation is comprised of the Whitecap Dakota, Kinistin, Mistawasis, Muskeg Lake, Muskoday, Yellow Quill and One Arrow First Nations and operates under written Principles of Agreement to provide a variety of services to improve the quality of life for Urban Aboriginal people living in the City of Saskatoon.

2 significant accounting policies These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Public Sector Accounting Standards (PSAS) including accounting standards that apply only to government not-for-profit organizations.

Fund accounting The accounts of the corporation are maintained in accordance with the principles of fund accounting. For financial reporting purposes, there are three funds, as follows:

i) Operating fund T he operating fund reflects the primary operation of the corporation including revenues received from government departments, billings to clients, the federal government and other agencies. Expenses are for the delivery services.

ii) T angible capital asset fund T he Tangible capital asset fund is a restricted fund that reflects the equity of the corporation in capital assets after taking into consideration any associated long-term debt. The capital fund includes revenues received from Saskatoon Regional Health Authority designated for tenant improvement.

iii) Reserve fund T he reserve fund is a restricted fund that reflects funds by the Ministry of Social Services (“MSS”) for equipment and furnishings and maintenance reserve. The assets include cash accumulated by the corporation from MSS funding which is accounted for separately.

Use of estimates T he preparation of the Corporation’s financial statements in conformity with PSAS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue recognition Restricted revenues relating to the Reserve fund are recognized as revenue in the Reserve fund when they are received or receivable if the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured.

Unr estricted revenue is recognized as it becomes receivable under the terms of the applicable funding agreements. Funding received under the funding arrangements, which relates to a subsequent fiscal period, is reflected as deferred revenue in the year of receipt and classified as such on the statement of financial position. Deferred revenue also includes grant funding which was received prior to year-end against which the related costs will be incurred in periods subsequent to year-end. Deferred revenue will be brought into revenue in subsequent fiscal years as the related expenses are incurred. 68 moving forward 30 Years and Beyond

3 Transition to Canadian Public Sector Accounting Standards Commencing with the 2013 fiscal year, the corporation has adoptedPSAS .

Cress Housing Corporation Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2012

1 nature of Business Cress Housing Corporation was incorporated February 24, 1984 and registered under the Saskatchewan Non-Profit Corporations Act. The Company commenced acquiring single unit dwellings during July, 1984. The Company now also acquires apartment buildings and rents these units to qualifying tenants.

2 significant Accounting Policies The financial reporting framework is prescribed by the operating agreement which requires the financial statements to be prepared in accordance with the following policies rather than in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies.

a) investments - Investments are stated at fair value as at December 31, 2012.

b) Capital assets and amortization - Capital assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided to the extent that the mortgage principal is retired during the year. Buildings and equipment that are not financed are not amortized for accounting purposes.

c) revenue recognition – The Company follows the restricted fund method of accounting for contributions. Rent, subsidies and unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue in the year received or receivable if the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. restricted contributions related to general operations are recognized as revenue in the year in which the related expenses are incurred. Interest earned on the reserve funds is credited directly to the reserve accounts. Capital grants received from government and other organizations designated for the acquisition of capital assets are recorded as equity in capital assets.

d) replacement reserve - appropriations to the replacement reserve, amounting to $361,460 is made out of revenue during the current year. Approved expenditures incurred in the year are charged to this reserve. As a result of this accounting practice, actual expenditures for replacement and maintenance do not normally appear in the statement of revenue and expense and surplus.

e) Credit risk - Credit risk arises from the possibility that tenants may be unable to fulfill their lease commitments. The Company mitigates the risk by conducting rental reference checks prior to tenant placement, through well defined procedures for addressing rent arrears, and by limiting the exposure to credit loss for any one tenant.

f) fair value of financial instruments - The carrying amount of bank, accounts receivable and deferred revenue, and accounts payable, approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of the mortgage payable approximates its fair value, as the interest rate thereon approximates the market rate of interest for mortgages with a similar term to renewal. 90 moving forward 30 Years and Beyond

Cress Housing Corporation Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2012

2 significant Accounting Policies (continued) g) use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, any disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are reviewed periodically and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.

h) financial instruments – The Company has elected not to disclose fair value information about financial assets and liabilities for which fair values was not readily obtainable. The Company has classified its financial instruments as follows: • C ash and cash equivalents were classified as held-for-trading and accordingly carried at their fair values; • Accounts receivable were classified as loans and receivables, and accordingly carried at their amortized costs; • Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term debt were classified as other financial liabilities and are currently carried at their amortized cost.

3 Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided to the extent that the mortgage principal is retired during the year. Buildings and equipment that are not financed are not amortized for accounting purposes.

The major categories of capital assets and related accumulated amortization are as follows:
