President’s Message 2015 - A year of change and excitement
The year of 2015 can be seen as a time where our association has worked diligently in moving Volleyball Manitoba into the future. Complacency is a stigmatism that we have worked hard to overcome and this year’s activities are definitely a step in the right direction.
In support of Volleyball Canada’s initiative, Volleyball Manitoba endorsed the new member management system (VRS) and officially launched it for our membership in September of 2014. As with new software there are bound to be kinks in the system that need to be worked through. Our staff worked tirelessly to ensure this transition went smoothly and in June of 2015, our PSO was recognized at Volleyball Canada’s AGM as being a leader and ‘go to’ province in this initiative.
I am pleased to announce that our Strategic Plan has been completed and we are ready and eager to use it as a template for success of our association. This document could not have been completed without the Strategic Plan Committee’s commitment to seeing this process through.
Financial accountability and transparency are vitally important for any organization to succeed. This year saw a reduction in membership as the Co-ed league decided to part ways and operate independently from the association. Additionally our PSO’s beach partnership with a local business has yielded lesser returns than expected which has created some financial strain but we embraced these challenges head on. Although we operated with a small annual loss, we still came out having positive net assets at the end of the fiscal year; an accomplishment that we are quite proud of. Suffice it to say that we will not sit back and be complacent in this matter. Relationships are vitally important to us and we will continue to explore ways to grow our membership and succeed in our business ventures.
The 2015 Nationals held by Volleyball Canada ran in two respective waves during the month of May. Our province was represented well and brought home two distinguished medals in the top tier both in the 18U category. Gold for the 18U boys and Bronze for the 18U girls. This is quite an accomplishment for our Manitoba athletes with many of them pursing this great sport at the post-secondary level.
An important message from Volleyball Canada is that they wanted to diversify the host cities for these annual National Championships. Our association presented a strong case to be considered and we were honored to be awarded the 2016 14U Western National Championships. This will be the first Volleyball Canada Open National Championship event that our province has hosted which is truly exciting.
Over the last two decades, Winnipeg has been the home of our Women’s National Volleyball Team but the time has come where other locations are being explored by Volleyball Canada. Our association and community feel strongly that Winnipeg is their home and have put together a strong business case for them to remain. However, an announcement will not be made by Volleyball Canada until early 2016 so as to not disrupt their preparation and hopefully qualification for the 2016 Olympics. Good luck ladies.
Finally this past year saw several changes with office staff. Through restructuring and bearing in mind financial accountability, a staff position was eliminated. Mitch Davidson brought many years of dedicated service and passion to our sport and we wish him all the best. Additionally Mike Maidment resigned to pursue other ventures and Scott Koskie joined our staff bringing a wealth of experience from Volleyball Canada to our PSO. Although we have endured some changes we are in very capable hands as we move forward in these exciting times.
This has been a year of change and excitement and we are looking forward to serving both our stakeholders and community as we operate under the umbrella of our strategic plan.

The following report is a summary of Volleyball Manitoba programs and events from 2014-15.
Strategic Planning Over a period of 18 months (November, 2013 to April, 2015) Volleyball Manitoba (“VM”) embarked on a process to update our Strategic Plan for the period 2015-2019. This process was also being used as a basis for our sport submission to Sport Manitoba within their Integrated Funding Framework.
A Strategic Planning Committee was established during this period that involved VM Staff, Board of Directors and other volunteers. Feedback and information was gathered through a consultative process that involved engagement with our members and stakeholders from all levels of our sport. The working group used the feedback and comments gathered to prepare the current version of the strategic plan that includes our mission, vision and values, along with the identification of our strategic priorities and initiatives as we move forward.
This process gave VM a great opportunity for self-reflection and assessment, and we believe the plan offers us a road map to where we hope to be five years down the road. This plan will hopefully be achieved as we aspire to strengthen and improve how volleyball is delivered and perceived in Manitoba. Our province has a passion for our sport, boasting a rich history of volleyball success at the local, national and international levels that we want to see continue into the future.
A summary of the plan includes the following mission, vision and values, as well as strategic priorities. A more detailed document is available on our website.
VM Mission: Our mission is to promote and facilitate the growth and excellence of volleyball in Manitoba
Our Vision: Growing Community. Inspiring Excellence. Leading by Serving.
Core Values:
Collaborative We strengthen our volleyball community through cooperation, inclusiveness and openness Passion We are athlete centred, encouraging enjoyment and a life-long enthusiasm for our sport Integrity We are accountable through honesty, fairness and transparency Progressive We will move forward and excel through best practices and dynamic, innovative approaches
2014-15 Annual Report Page 7 of 30
Strategic Priority #1 Organizational Leadership
VM is recognized by the volleyball community as the leader in our sport through good governance and best business practices.
Goals: 1) Attract and retain effective and reliable personnel (staff & volunteers) 2) Maintain and strengthen financial health 3) Increased visibility and presence of VM throughout the volleyball community
Strategic Priority #2 Growth
VM membership has increased through quality sanctioned programs (indoor, beach)
Goals: 1) Recapture / Capture / Maintain existing leagues & programs – ie. WCVL, WWVL, CIS, MCAC 2) Create 12U and other youth programs across the province 3) Stimulate membership in low participation regions 4) Organize and partner with quality beach volleyball programs (leagues, tournaments)
Strategic Priority #3 Technical Leadership
Volleyball Manitoba engages and develops a growing pool of coaches and referees to lead the delivery of quality sanctioned volleyball programs
Goals: 1) Increase and improve the collaborative efforts of a network of volleyball coaches in Manitoba to advance athlete development. 2) Improve technical support to school volleyball coaches 3) Develop & deliver a comprehensive coach development program, aligned with LTAD. 4) Work with the MVOA in implementing the VC Long Term Referee Development Plan.
We will now begin promoting The Strategic Plan to our membership and reviewing on an ongoing basis with staff and the board to measure our progress towards our goals and targets.
Provincial Championships 2015 The 2015 Volleyball Manitoba Provincial Championships were held over two weekends in April & May with events being held in Winnipeg, Brandon, Winkler & Portage. In total, 13 different championships were organized involving 172 teams. This is an increase of four teams from 2014, mainly due to increased numbers in the 14U girl’s category. This year’s events involved the use of 17 different facilities on 32 courts over the two weekends. Also, for the first time in several years numbers warranted a Tier 2 provincial championship to be held, with nine teams playing for a separate 14U Tier 2 Girls Championship. Expanding the tier 2 category for growth and meaningful competition reasons is a focus for VM as we move forward in the coming years.
A focus for the 2015 events was addressing appropriate serving and free space as well as spectator seating. Moving forward, we will attempt to minimize the number of venues, or use clustered facilities, as much as possible. We are also planning provincial ranking tournaments for 14U, 15U & 16U age categories on the weekend of Apr 8-10, 2016.
2015 Championship events involved the following events and locations:
13U Girls Provincial Championships – May 2 & 3, Winnipeg: Maples Collegiate 13U Boys Provincial Championships – May 2, Winnipeg: St. Paul’s HS 14U Tier 1 Girls Championship – April 25 & 26, Winnipeg: Maples Collegiate, OV Jewitt School & AE Wright School

The event featured 780 teams competing in the 14U – 18U categories, on 58 courts at the University of Calgary and the BMO Convention Centre.
Bringing back national championship medals to Manitoba from the top divisions were the WinMan Wesmen who captured gold in the 18U Boys category, and Shock VBC who brought home the bronze medals from the 18U Girls event. Three Manitoba teams also narrowly missed medaling, finishing in 4th place in their categories, and they were WinMan Clutch (15U Boys), Jr Bison Gold (15U Girls), and Dynamo (16U Girls).
In total, 110 teams from Manitoba competed in the event, up from 97 who competed in national or western events in 2014, representing our province very well with results and overall percentage of participation at the championships.
NTCC Provincial Team Programs The 18U & 16U provincial volleyball teams competed in July at the National Team Challenge Cup (NTCC) in Edmonton, AB (boys) and Richmond, BC (girls). The events ran from July 15-19, with two of six teams from Manitoba returning home with medals, along with four athletes being selected to the Youth National Team program.
At the girls event in Richmond, BC, fourteen teams from across Canada and the USA competed in the 16U division, where the 16U MB Black team, coached by Dan McGregor and Sydney Purvis, finished with a bronze medal. The 16U MB Gold team finished in 12th place, while the 18U MB team finished in 7th in the 18U division.
Similarly in Edmonton at the boys event, with nine teams competing from across Canada in the 16U division, the MB Gold team, coached by Mike Lodewyks and Lindsey Habib, won the bronze medals. The 16U MB Black team finished in 7th place and the 18U MB team ended up in 9th in their division.
Following the NTCC championships top athletes were identified and selected to represent Canada as part of the Junior and Youth National Team programs. The following four athletes from the Manitoba teams were selected to the Youth Team Canada program:
Boys: Dylan Sutherland (Brandon) & Gerard Murray (Winnipeg) Girls: Julia Tays (Winnipeg) & Montana Green (Thunder Bay)

The 2014 16U Girls Provincial and Eastern National Champions wound up in the Bronze Medal Match after losing a tough semi-final a day earlier to eventual Gold Medalists from BC.

2015 Beach Volleyball Provincial Championships Manitoba’s Beach Volleyball Provincial Championships were held at Maple Grove Rugby Park on Saturday, August 8, after a late venue switch due to unplayable conditions at Adrenaline Adventures as a result of heavy rains the week leading up to the event. Numbers were down considerably from 2014 (38 youth teams in 2014, 16 in 2015), which needs to be discussed and addressed this fall at a planned Beach Volleyball Forum as to why numbers are decreasing.
Medal results of the Beach Volleyball Provincial Championships can be found in Appendix C.
2015 Beach Volleyball National Championships Volleyball Canada held its Eastern Youth and Senior Canadian Beach Volleyball Championship at Ashbridges Bay Beach in Toronto August 21-23, as well as the Western Youth Championship in Parkesville, BC the previous weekend on August 14- 16.

2015 Beach Volleyball League – Adrenaline Adventures The 2015 Summer Series Beach Volleyball League, along with the ‘Bandits Hot Summer Nights League’, played out of Adrenaline Adventures for the second year now, since moving from Melrose CC and Maple Grove Rugby Park respectively the previous season. Several improvements to the venue were realized from 2014 including sand quality and depth. With
2014-15 Annual Report Page 10 of 30
registration numbers dropping again this year (145 beach 2’s teams in 2015, down from 186 in 2014) we must continue to look at ways to improve the playing conditions and increase the overall participation experience.
A separate league was also organized this past season by Beach 4 Life out of Maple Grove Rugby Park. Although this league may have drawn teams away from the league run out of Adrenaline Adventures, the Beach 4 Life league did affiliate itself with Volleyball Manitoba requiring all participants to be VM members.
2014 Graduating All-Star Banquet & Matches Volleyball Manitoba recognizes the many hours of hard work and dedication that athletes and coaches commit to their team throughout the high school volleyball season and the purpose of the Graduating All-Star Banquet & Games, organized by Volleyball Manitoba, is to honour those individuals whose contributions have been exceptional over the previous high school season.
The 2014 Graduating All-Star Banquet was held the morning of Saturday, December 6 at the Celebrations Dinner Theatre at Canad Inns Fort Garry, and the matches followed at St. Paul’s High School.
The full list of all athletes and award winners can be found in Appendix D.

Post 2016 Women’s Team Centre Bid
The National Women’s Volleyball Team training and administrative centre has been based in Winnipeg, MB since 1991 and is committed to remain here through to the end of 2016. Over the years more international matches have been played in our province than any other, and the national team centre and its athletes have been active in various aspects of volleyball in Manitoba such as coaching, referee and athlete development, tournaments and general promotion of our sport.
Volleyball Canada opened up the bid process last year to host the National Teams following 2016, and Volleyball Manitoba indicated our intent to submit a bid and keep the national team home base in Winnipeg. Additional bids were also submitted by Richmond, BC, Halifax, NS and Milton, ON.
Over the past year a bid committee consisting of representatives from Volleyball Manitoba, Sport Manitoba, the Canadian Sport Centre Manitoba, the Province of Manitoba, and other key stakeholders and supporters worked on putting together our best conditions possible with the goal of keeping the women’s national team in our province. The bids were due in June, and a site visit took place in late August, with the ultimate decision to be made by Volleyball Canada early in 2016. Our bid involved the Women’s National Team Centre moving from the current home at the University of Manitoba to the new Canada Games Sport for Life Training Centre that is expected to be built and ready by May of 2017.
Volleyball Manitoba would like to recognize the following individuals who were part of the Manitoba bid Committee:

2014 Junior High Challenge / Grade 9 Open
At the end of each school season, Volleyball Manitoba organizes the Junior High Challenge and Grade 9 Open events. These events are not official championships and are open to all teams for participation. The spirit of the events are about participation, enjoyment and an opportunity for Grade 7-9 teams to compete in an open year-end tournament to celebrate their seasons and challenge themselves against other teams from across the province.
This past year the following events were organized, with the Junior High boys event not having sufficient teams: Junior High Challenge (Girls) Dec 5/6, 2014 MBCI, Winnipeg 16 Teams Grade 9 Open (Girls) Nov 29, 2014 Portage la Prairie 12 Teams Grade 9 Open (Boys) Nov 29, 2014 Winkler 7 Teams
Volleyball Canada Centre of Excellence (VCCE)
The Volleyball Canada Centre of Excellence (VCCE) is a national initiative developed through partnerships including Own the Podium, Provincial Volleyball Associations, College and University programs (CIS/CCAA), School Districts, and High Performance venues. In Manitoba, the VCCE has been organized the past 2 seasons through the Team Canada Volleyball office, but moving ahead VM will be taking the lead on its delivery. The purpose of the VCCE is to provide a focus on training and development of individual technical skills, as opposed to competition and team systems. The VCCE aims to improve the training to competition ratio by offering additional training without the need to compete as a team.
In the past the VCCE involved weekly training sessions run in the fall and winter in the mornings before school during the week. This year we will again look at running sessions in the fall and another in the winter, but we will be looking at moving the sessions to Sundays in order to capture a larger potential pool of athletes.
Adult Senior Volleyball
Several volleyball leagues exist throughout the province that provide playing opportunities for adults once they are done with age class or post-secondary levels of our sport. This is important as we strive to promote active for life involvement in volleyball. With only the Winnipeg Men’s Volleyball League remaining as indoor adult members of Volleyball Manitoba, efforts continue to build or rebuild relationships with other leagues, such as the Winnipeg Women’s and Winnipeg Coed leagues. We also need to continue identifying the benefits and services that our adult members may desire in order for them to consider affiliating themselves as members of our association once again.
With this in mind, VM is planning an adult men’s and women’s tournament on the holiday weekend in February. The idea is to provide an annual fun yet competitive opportunity outside of the weekly league play. The event will also be tied into raising funds for a scholarship program that is being established by the WMVL, VM and the Bridle family in memory of Wezer Bridle, one of the founding fathers of our sport in Manitoba.

Manitoba ROC Year End Report 2015 Submitted by Barry Miller, Regional Officials Chairperson
I take this opportunity to thank all the MVOA officials and members of the MVOA Executive who spent many hours providing their leadership, support and commitment to the delivery of both the indoor and beach programs this past season to those groups who requested our services. A job well done.
Congratulations are extended to Taras Ilkiw , who was awarded the Sports MB Official of the Year at an awards ceremony in April, for not only his officiating in major International Tournaments but as well for his commitment to officiating domestically and within MB in all levels of competition. Taras has shown that blowing the whistle is only a part of officiating as he continues to give back to the MVOA program through his guidance and mentorship of all officials in MB. Jim Gosman is this year's recipient of the Wezer Bridle Golden Whistle Award and was presented this award recognizing his continual contribution to officiating and mentorship within the MVOA, at the VB Manitoba Awards Banquet. Carleen Kruschel (rural) and Jan Watters (urban) were recognized for their contribution to High School Volleyball in MB as the 2014- 15 MHSAA Volleyball Officials of the Year at the annual VBMB MHSAA Grad All-Star Banquet this past December.
My thanks to Kirsten Auld- Varey, who as chairperson of the MB Women's Referee Development Program in MB hosted a female officials gathering in January to identify and discuss the concerns of the women's official in the province and to Bev Workman who continues to do an outstanding job with the officials program in Brandon.
The Beach program under the guidance of Stan Korol had a series of level one clinics last May. The beach officials officiate both league and tournament matches. Recertification and Level one clinics have taken place in May to prepare for the upcoming season.
Under the leadership of Bohdan Ilkiw and several clinicians 2 Recertification Clinics were held in Winnipeg and Brandon .Four Level one clinics were held throughout the province along with MB proving a clinician for a Level one clinic in Kenora and Iqaluit. A Level two clinic was held in January with 3 candidates and each has begun their practical evaluation requirements.
Congratulations to Roel Orteza, Brent Harder and Ed Alexiuk for successfully completing all the required evaluations to obtain their Level 2 /Provincial status. Chris Yaremkiewich attended the Theory portion of the National Certification program this past November .My thanks to all those evaluators who provided their knowledge and expertise to ensure the success of these officials.

In January, I attended a National Referee Summit in Gatineau with John Blacher and Bohdan Ilkiw. The purpose of the meeting was to identify the issues affecting officials development across Canada and to establish a Long Term Officials Development Plan (LTOD) in Canada. As well, the VC Board, provincial ROC'S and provincial Technical Directors were able to discuss the issues and provide goals within the province to encourage and support officials development in all areas in Canada.
At the 2014-15 Recertification clinic in September, officials were provided a document identifying a number of goals that as officials we should consider as we begin the season. I trust that each of you, as the season came to an end, looked back at the document and could identify where you felt you did well and the areas you could improve upon as the 2015-16 season approaches. Identifying with these goals on a yearly basis will benefit not only your performance as an official but as well those participants whom we provide our services.
My thanks to Andrea at VC who has managed to keep me reminding me about the things I sometimes forget to send her. The VM staff, who put in long hours to ensure all areas of volleyball in MB continue to grow and develop to meet the needs of its members. The MVOA Executive whose support of officials development in MB at all levels is second to none.
I end this year's ROC Report with remembering an individual who had a huge impact on my performance and development first as a High School coach in the 70's and then as an official. His guidance and knowledge provided me with a wealth of wisdom when I became the MB ROC in 1988. With the passing of Wezer Bridle this past January, Volleyball lost a true icon of the sport. His accomplishments and success are too numerous to mention. Those who had the privilege of working with him either as a player, a coach, an official or a volleyball administrator, know that we have lost a good friend in the sport. His humour, his wisdom and above all his compassion for the sport of volleyball will always be remembered.

Hall of Fame Committee Report 2015 Submitted by Heather Bradshaw & Linda Clark, Committee Co-Chairs
Volleyball Manitoba's Awards Banquet was held on Sunday, June 7th, 2015 at the Canad Inns Polo Park. Doors opened at 4:30 PM and dinner was served at 5:15.
This year four athletes/builders and one team were inducted into the Manitoba Volleyball Hall of Fame:
CHERYL NORTHCLIFFE DAVID UNRUH SHERRY GARD (PARKHURST) PETER DICK MILES MAC 74 -77 VARSITY BOYS (There were no Honour Society awards presented)
The committee consisted of Dennis Nord, Mike Burchuk, Brenda Westwood, Linda Clark and Heather Bradshaw. A very special thank you to John Blacher (Executive Director), Anthony Roberts (Program Director), Mitch Davidson (Technical Director) and Scott Koskie (Provincial High Performance Coach) for their excellent work in organizing this annual event.
Also, thanks to Michelle Sawatzky, our MC, photographer Rusty Barton, awards committee chair Andrei Halkewycz and to the Canad Inns for serving such a delicious meal.
The Awards Committee is divided into 2 groups: Hall of Fame/Honour Society and Major Awards, who will submit their own report.
Recommendations: - to continue using 2 separate committees - to continue recognizing other volleyball achievements: University, National Teams and Officials etc. - to continue sending out a press release, pre and post banquet - to continue using the same venue: Canad Inns Polo Park - to continue having 2 adult bars - to make inductees aware that other awards are being presented at the banquet, not just Hall of Fame i.e. a 5 -7 min. “thank you” per award. This is ESSENTIAL because of time and keeping our guests entertained. Any suggestions in trying to make this work is appreciated. - to clarify the necessity of duplicating photos. eg. Individuals on stage and again in the hallway? - to continue having the memorabilia tables inside the banquet room. - to have John Blacher a member of the Hall of Fame Awards Committee.

Volleyball Manitoba (VM) Finance Committee Report – September, 2015 Submitted by John Olfert, Board Treasurer & Chair Finance Committee
Financial and operating results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 are presented in the audited financial statements included in this Annual Report. As reflected in the financial statements and this brief report, VM remains on stable footing as we promote and facilitate the growth and excellence of volleyball in Manitoba.
In summary;
1. How did we do? – The Statement of Operations. Members may be alarmed seeing a change from fiscal 2014 surplus of $123, 292 to an operating loss in fiscal 2015 of $7,542. The simplified explanation and rationale are as follows:
. During fiscal 2015, VM had a full complement of staff and services for the entire fiscal year – compared to the preceding year, where staff turnover and vacancies occurred. . In absence of a full-staff complement in fiscal 2014, the Board of Directors and other volunteers were more heavily involved in day to day (and event) operations, with programs operating at reduced cost and on a lesser scale. This compares to fiscal 2015, where improved quantity and quality of programming was offered to members, under the direction of VM staff. Restated, given the financial challenges from preceding years, the Board of Directors and staff were intentional in having a healthy surplus for all facets of programming in fiscal 2014. While still targeting “break-even” or positive earnings for each program, the Board and staff were equally intentional in setting less aggressive increases (or freezing fee levels) and ensuring quality programming (ex. tournaments, provincial teams, VM programming) in fiscal 2015. . Membership fees have declined in recent years, due to the Women’s and Coed Leagues choosing to operate independent of VM. Furthermore, a modified fee structure has been implemented, in attempts to grow membership and more closely link value for fees. . The beach program was centralized to a new location that had elevated fixed costs compared to prior year operations. With registrations not keeping pace with expanded capacity and facilities, a net loss was realized. . Both revenues and offsetting operating expenses were higher in fiscal 2014 due to it being a Canada Games year. . The Board of Directors and staff engaged a number of new and necessary initiatives that occurred without incremental funding. The primary initiative was preparing a multi-year Strategic Plan, and engaging feedback from various stakeholders in our volleyball community, as we planned and dreamed for the future. . During the fiscal year, in addition to development of VM Strategic Plan, members of the Board, staff and members at large have met to advance feasibility work on a dedicated volleyball (VM) facility. These meetings have included needs assessment, capital (construction or renovation) costs, an operating model and initial meeting with public partners. While work to date suggests a dedicated facility is improbable, more formal efforts, direction and reporting is required in this regard, in fiscal 2016.
2. Where do we sit? – Statement of Financial Position. . A fiscal 2015 deficit of $7,542 reduced VM’s cumulative surplus from $30,016 to $22,474. While a reduction in Net Assets was not the direction the Board of Directors desired, it was the view of the Board of (and staff) that it was appropriate and necessary to maintain/grow programming, and continue to bring value to its membership – without significant increases to service fees. Financial accountability, stewardship and stability remains a priority for the Board.
2014-15 Annual Report Page 19 of 30
3. Looking Forward to Fiscal 2016. . The following budget was prepared by staff and has been approved by the Board of Directors.
F2016 Budget F2015 Actual Revenue Sport MB Grants $ 262 $ 227 Other Grants/Transfers 43 47 Membership Fees 140 132 Athlete Programs/League fees 185 170 VM Tournaments 145 98 Coaches & Officials Development 30 16 Recognition/Special Events 22 17 Marketing/Other 50 4 Total revenues 877 711 Operating Expenses Athlete Programs 344 278 Tournaments 126 96 Coaching/Officials/Membership Dev. 51 50 Recognition/Special Events 33 32 Marketing/Communications 11 11 Administration 265 250 Total expenditures 830 717 Surplus (Deficit) $ 47 $ (6)
Notes: a) All values in 000s CAD. b) Fiscal 2016 is a Western Canada Games year, elevating both Athlete Program Fees and offsetting Athlete Programs. c) Using rounded numbers, an annual surplus of $47,000 added to an opening balance of $22,000 would bring cumulative net assets of almost $70,000. This value approximates a three-month operating burn-rate, and a desired level of surplus to present and manage year to year financial stability.
4. Appreciation. Acknowledgement and appreciated is due to: . The staff of Volleyball Manitoba who maximize members’ experience, while controlling costs and being appropriate stewards of VM resources; . The Sport Manitoba Finance team who provide accounting/bookkeeping support to VM; . Sport Manitoba for offering debt-financing in recent years, and accepting early repayment, without penalty; and . VM Board Executive, Board of Directors and Finance Committee – who contribute to the planning, reporting and accountability for VM financial activity.
5. Recommendations. a) The Finance Committee and Board of Directors recommends: That the Volleyball Manitoba 2015 Financial statements be accepted as presented in the VM 2015 Annual Report. b) The Finance Committee recommends: That Gislason Targownik Peters be appointed auditors for fiscal 2016.

To the members of Manitoba Volleyball Association Inc.,
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Manitoba Volleyball Association Inc., which comprise the statement of financial position as at March 31, 2015, and the statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flow for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s responsibility for the financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Manitoba Volleyball Association Inc. as at March 31, 2015, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations.

1. PURPOSE OF THE ORGANIZATION
The Manitoba Volleyball Association Inc. is a non-profit organization and is exempt from income tax in accordance with Section 149 of the Canadian Income Tax Act. The purpose of the association is to provide quality services and programs that will assist in the promotion, development, and growth of volleyball in Manitoba
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation The financial statements of the association have been prepared in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations.
Financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and liabilities are at amortized cost unless otherwise noted. Financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, deferred revenue and long-term debt.
It is management's opinion that the association is not exposed to significant credit, currency, interest rate, liquidity or market risks arising from these financial instruments, unless otherwise noted.
Capital assets Capital assets are recorded at cost and are being amortized on the straight line basis at the following rates based on estimated useful life, except in the year of acquisition, when one- half of the rate is used: Computer hardware 2 years The association reviews capital assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Contributed capital assets are recorded at fair value at the date of contribution.
Contributed services A substantial number of volunteers contribute a significant amount of their time each year. Due to the difficulty of determining the fair market value, contributed services are not recognized in the financial statements.

Revenue recognition The association follows the deferral method of accounting for Sport Manitoba 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. Externally restricted contributions are recognized as revenue in the year in which the related expenses are recognized.
The association accounts for other revenues using the accrual basis of accounting.
Use of estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the financial statements, as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty, and the effect on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be significant.

The company has a line of credit available to a maximum of $25,000, repayable on demand with interest at the rate of prime plus 3.00%. Bank indebtedness is secured by general security agreement providing a floating charge on all assets of the association.
