A President who has made a difference A two-year mandate really flies by, but yet leaves room for much accomplishment. At least when one is as devoted to the cause as Marc Généreux, our President from 2003 to 2005, has been. His name might have hinted to the fact that President Généreux would indeed be generous with his time as he truly committed himself with unfailing availability during these two years of a very full mandate. As President of the Quebec Division, Marc Généreux was able to revitalize the Canadian Cancer Society and instil in all of us a profound motivation to outdo ourselves. Volunteers and employees followed this man of resolve in his wildest dreams. In fact, at the Annual Conference on Revenue Development under the theme Together, let’s aim for $25 million in 2010, he convinced participants that the simple desire to attain a target made it accessible. Incidentally, the Division greatly surpassed the 2004-2005’s goal of $15 million that our President had set for himself at the beginning of his twoyear term. He was also fully engaged at the national level, working on establishing a shared governance model which he has now convinced the members of the Quebec Division Board of Directors to adopt. This important change in the way that we do business is being developed with a target completion date of early 2006. What’s more, our President focused on our priorities and the efforts required to achieve them. Be it through our role in cancer research, prevention, information, advocacy and supporting people living with cancer, the Society is true to its objective to make a difference, thanks, in great part, to volunteers like Marc Généreux. As we’ve said, two years is a short time, yet the heritage left behind by our outgoing President is considerable. Staff and volunteers join us in thanking him kindly.

Being President of the Quebec Division of the Canadian Cancer Society means being a volunteer in a team made up of 25,000 volunteers, a hundred or so employees and hundreds of thousands of donors. TOGETHER. STRONG. This team fights against over two hundred types of cancer and progress is made every day. Over the 2004-2005 fiscal period, thanks to the generosity of our numerous donors and sponsors and the unrelenting efforts of our volunteers and employees, the Quebec Division increased its financial strength, thereby increasing its commitment to the fight against cancer. We raised over $15,280,000. Relay For Life’s success (almost doubling last year’s results), planned gifts and In Memoriam donations, the door-to-door campaign, the Daffodil Ball, gourmet gatherings and many others are testament to a remarkable team effort. With these funds, the Quebec Division increased its funding of research allowing us to make strides in the pursuit of one facet of our mission: the eradication of cancer. For example, in 2004, Dr. Jennifer O’Loughlin discovered that nicotine addiction is genetic in some teens. This research work conducted on youth for the past six years adds credibility to Societysupported initiatives like the j’Arrête smokers’ helpline and the “Quit to Win! Challenge”. To cite another made-in-Quebec example, Dr. Eduardo Franco participated in a vast international clinical trial to test a new vaccine which holds promise in considerably reducing the incidence of cervical cancer. Dr. Franco was awarded the O. Harold Warwick prize by the National Cancer Institute of Canada for his important contribution to the fight against cancer in Canada. We also did not neglect another important aim of our mission, that of supporting persons living with cancer. Cancer J’écoute (CancerConnection), the emotional support service for people living with cancer, was publicly launched. Thanks to funding from the Fondation Jean Marc Paquette, this peer telephone support programme is now in full swing. The Division also pursued its offensive in advocacy work through its participation in the Coalition Priorité Cancer au Québec. A first forum on cancer allowed us to become familiar with cancer control management models in other Canadian provinces. The Cancer Information Service answered thousands of cancer-related questions, while the j’Arrête helpline, an information and tobacco cessation support service, helped thousands quit smoking. The Society Lodge continued to welcome people from outside of Montreal in town for cancer treatments. The emotional and material support given to these people is now recognized throughout Quebec. The Quebec Division is also an important actor on the international stage, where it was applauded for the quality of its work on several matters of national importance, not the least of which are its brand image and policy governance. A word also on our international contributions. Joint action and sharing in a world where cancer knows no boundaries are essential. The Canada-China programme celebrated its 10th anniversary, marked by presenting a national award to the programme’s spokesperson, Mark Rowswell, whose character Dashan is familiar to at least 80% of the Chinese population. There are many stakeholders in the fight against cancer in Quebec and throughout Canada, but there is only one Canadian Cancer Society: a credible and responsible organization that can boast of leading, day in and day out since 1938, a fierce fight against cancer on all fronts and throughout the country. It is with great pride that I have presided over the Quebec Division for two years and that I am part of this team.

By producing quality information in clear and simple terms, we ensure that those who come to us for information better understand cancer, its treatments and how to prevent it. It then becomes easier to face the disease or support a loved one.

Cancer Information Service 1 888 939-3333 Quality information in French The Cancer Information Service is a nation-wide service offered from 4 call centres. Quebec Division houses the only French-language information centre, a very beneficial association in many regards. As information specialists are from Quebec, it is easier to ensure a province-wide telephone service of the highest standards in French. In 2004-2005, the Montreal call centre increased its contribution to the quality of written French at the Canadian Cancer Society by taking part in the editing process of all Society information documents. They notably ensure consistency between terminology used by the Quebec health care system and the Society, as well as coherence between documents intended for the general public and the Canadian Cancer Encyclopedia™, their principal work tool.

A cost-effective synergy Yet another advantage of an in-house call centre for the Quebec Division: the synergy stemming from proximity. For example, during the planning and establishment process for the Cancer J’écoute support line, Quebec Division chose to use the Cancer Information Service’s phone number. In Quebec, the 1 888 939-3333 number thus became a ‘onestop service’ for all cancer information and support. This decision would then have two very positive consequences: • Continuous interaction between Cancer J’écoute and the Cancer Information Service • Promoting both services at once: 1 888 939-3333 is the only number needed to reach the Canadian Cancer Society

From telephone to e-mail Initial and continuing training for information specialists is essential. They were initially trained to answer calls, but are now trained to also respond to information requests by e-mail. As Internet access continues to spread to more and more households, specialists now respond to an ever increasing number of information requests sent by e-mail. When facing cancer, people are eager to learn more about the disease. They see the Internet as an easily-accessible source of information from the comfort of home, guaranteeing anonymity. The Canadian Cancer Society has adapted to this evolving reality and these changes truly came into effect during the 2004-2005 period: • All new information documents are now available on the www.cancer.ca website • Several chapters of the Canadian Cancer Encyclopedia™, the main work tool of information specialists, are now obtainable on the www.cancer.ca website By making our information accessible via Internet, we have noticed that more and more people confer with our information specialists, and even their healthcare team, with information obtained from the Canadian Cancer Society’s website in hand.

[6

Information 2004-2005 at a gl ance 1 888 939-3333 • The Cancer Information Service responded to its 600,000th information request in January of 2005. The Montreal call centre received its 100,000th call • By using the 1 888 939-3333 for Cancer J’écoute, our clientele can access all information and support services in a single call • The Canadian Cancer Encyclopedia™, a comprehensive database on cancer information written by the Canadian Cancer Society to help information specialists respond to inquiries, is now available on line at www.cancer.ca www.cancer.ca • 1.3 million visitors • www.cancer.ca is primarily used to obtain cancer information • The home page of the Quebec Division is among the “top 10” of the most hits on www.cancer.ca, for every month of this fiscal year • The cancer glossary on www.cancer.ca provides definitions for more than 1,200 words Publications • The Canadian Cancer Society produces more than 50 brochures in both French and English. Some have now been translated in other languages

w w w. c a n c e r. c a www.cancer.ca has proven itself a precious source of information for all who wish to learn more about cancer and the Canadian Cancer Society, its policies, actions and ways to contribute to its mission. During the 2004-2005 period, more than 1.3 million visitors with distinct electronic addresses visited the www.cancer.ca website on one or more occasions. They consulted nearly 10 million web pages. Quebecers regularly visit the Canadian Cancer Society website, as the Quebec Division’s home page has consistently been one of the 10 most visited pages of the www.cancer.ca site each month between February 2004 and January 2005.

Near you The Canadian Cancer Society could not meet its information goals without the generous contribution of numerous volunteers and regional office employees who hand out Canadian Cancer Society publications and give out information on the services offered by the Society in every region of Quebec. Every year, they send out thousands of copies of Society documents to hospitals, CLSCs, medical clinics, corporations and schools to inform and educate the public.

By offering the opportunity to talk to a volunteer “who’s been there”, someone who can share their victory over cancer and their will to live, we bring hope to people facing the disease.

Cancer J’écoute In September of 2004, the Quebec Division launched its new telephone support service, Cancer J’écoute, with the generous financial assistance of the Fondation Jean Marc Paquette. A trial period of nearly ten months was sufficient for the Division to ensure the recruiting and training of a sufficient number of volunteers, the smooth working of the French databank and the close collaboration between Cancer J’écoute and Cancer Information Service staff. When the Division chose to use the same number for both the Cancer Information Service and Cancer J’écoute, 1 888 939-3333 became the exclusive phone access for all information and support services, an important competitive advantage. When calling the Canadian Cancer Society, the caller first speaks with an information specialist who makes sure to answer all questions about cancer, its treatments, possible side effects and other concerns about the disease. Once these information needs satisfied, the specialist then suggests a match with a volunteer who has lived through a similar experience. If it is their wish, a Cancer J’écoute counsellor takes over. By working this way, the Quebec Division ensures a better customer service. Firstly by ensuring that information needs are met by trained professionals and, secondly, by having volunteers concentrate their efforts exclusively towards active listening and comfort. This approach reassures health care professionals who refer their patients and their families to obtain support and information. In 2004, to better introduce Cancer J’écoute to those health care professionals, the Division produced a video, a brochure and a promotional poster.

Cancer J’écoute (CancerConnection in the rest of Canada) follows strict national standards in manners of operation, confidentiality, selection, training and guidance for volunteers. In fact, during the 2004-2005 period, the Quebec Division offered many training sessions: • 4 2-day basic training sessions • 6 continuing training teleconferences The Canadian Cancer Society can offer such a service as Cancer J’écoute, thanks to the generosity of over 100 volunteers, both men and women, young and young at heart. People who’ve graciously accepted to listen, accompany and share a bit of their own history with strangers who are struggling with cancer. Their contribution makes a difference in the lives of those who use the service. They have completed nearly 400 matches, that is to say that they have accompanied 400 persons, on one or more occasions, in 2004-2005.

Lodging, financial and practic al assistance At the Canadian Cancer Society, support for people living with cancer goes beyond emotional support. In 2004-2005, we welcomed to our Lodge more than 500 persons from everywhere in the province who had to leave their homes to follow radiology treatments in Montreal. We also provided financial and practical assistance through the loaning of wigs and by handing out temporary breast prostheses, dressings and other accessories.

Alone or with others, the Canadian Cancer Society proudly defends the general population, in matters of health and cancer control. Its commitment makes a difference. The Canadian Cancer Society is an important player in the fight against cancer. Its thoroughness, credibility and status as a national organization empower its participation in several important issues at local, provincial, national and international levels. Its involvement allows for a global outlook on the fight against cancer and for maintaining a vast network of contacts. The Society is thus an important asset for all the coalitions it has joined.

Canadian Cancer Statistics 2004 The publication of the Canadian Cancer Statistics 2004 1 in April would mark the beginning of an intensive period of advocacy for the Quebec Division. The Statistics stated that, before 2010, a growing and aging population would make cancer the first cause of death in Canada. This confirmed an impending cancer crisis in Canada, thereby proving the urgency of putting in place a concerted national cancer control strategy. The Society’s warning was heard. This campaign received the best media coverage ever: 45 radio interviews, 23 television appearances and 11 articles in major dailies.

When concerted actions make THE difference The Coalition Priorité Cancer au Québec The momentum created by the Society would benefit the first cancer forum organized in April 2004 by the Coalition Priorité Cancer au Québec. This coalition, of which the Quebec Division is an active member, calls for the implementation of the Programme québécois de lutte contre le cancer 2 and the creation of a central cancer surveillance and cancer control coordination agency. The forum was aimed at taking stock of cancer control efforts in Quebec, particularly in regards to the implementation of the Programme, and drawing a comparative balance sheet of the cancer question in Quebec versus other Canadian provinces. Minister Philippe Couillard, who had declared cancer a health priority in June 2003, spoke of how this priority had been expressed through concrete actions. He announced the establishment of a Direction de la lutte contre le cancer, the pending nomination of its director, and the injection of $10 million worth of credits earmarked for the fight against cancer. After April, the Society and the Coalition pursued their actions: • Attentive surveillance of the actions of the Direction de la lutte contre le cancer • Representation to government authorities throughout the year • Recruitment of new members into the Coalition, bringing the total number of participating organizations to 20 • Preparation of a second forum on cancer

The Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control and the National Cancer Leadership Forum The Canadian Cancer Society, a founding member of the Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control, is active within the Strategy and stays up to date on important issues and questions in Canada. Representatives of the Quebec Division took part in the Strategy’s second meeting in January 2005. On the national scene, a very combative lobby group came forward to promote the Strategy and launched an important campaign in December 2004: the National Cancer Leadership Forum, of which the Society is a member. Negotiations are under way with the Coalition Priorité Cancer au Québec to allow for the Coalition to join their ranks to better orchestrate offensives in Quebec.

Tobacco control The Society actively pursued its participation in the fight against tobacco in 2004-2005. It followed the request for a class action lead by the Conseil québécois sur le tabac et la santé. It also had intervener status against the tobacco manufacturers who instituted the appeal on the Tobacco Act. It also pursued its work in the Coalition québécoise pour le contrôle du tabac by preparing a brief on the Quebec Tobacco Act’s reform. 1

By promoting healthy lifestyle choices, we hope to raise awareness about the importance of taking health matters into your own hands. We have significantly contributed to the fight against tobacco in Quebec. We are now taking up the fight against other lifestyle choices that can lead to cancer.

Prevention: a true priority At a time when all agree on the importance of promoting good health, the 2004-2005 period was a very busy one for all levels – national, divisional and even regional – of the Canadian Cancer Society in matters of prevention. The implementation of a national working group on prevention focusing on different issues linked to cancer prevention in Canada, which the Quebec Division is taking part in, is a sign of the national importance given to prevention.

To b a c c o In 2004-2005, the Quebec Division maintained its participation in the j’Arrête smoking cessation information and support line jointly managed with the Conseil québécois sur le tabac et la santé and funded by the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux du Québec. Our 15 information officers answered 15,530 calls for smoking cessation support and 3,558 calls concerning the “Quit to Win! Challenge”. In 2004, the 5th anniversary of the “Quit to Win! Challenge” was celebrated. During this edition, a new component was added: the Smoke-Free Family Objective, an invitation to declare one’s environment smoke-free. As 4,400 families took part in the Smoke-Free Family Objective, almost 38,000 smokers signed up for the 2004 “Quit to Win! Challenge”, bringing the five-year registration total to over 150,000!

Sun In many regions of Quebec, the Sun Squads kept up their sun safety awareness activities intended for children in daycare centres and day camps. Over 7,000 children were visited by one of our 10 Sun Squads .

Fo o d c h o i c e s , e xe r c i s e a n d m a i n ta i n i n g a h e a lt h y w e i g h t The Canadian Cancer Society, joined by the Heart and Stroke Foundation and the Association Diabète-Québec, created the Réseau Action Santé in 2004, a group of Quebec-based organizations involved in preventing chronic diseases. These organizations can share information, develop concerted strategies to promote health and healthy lifestyle choices and take a public stand to favour these strategies in an effort to influence policy-makers and the public. In December 2004, Quebec Division’s Board of Directors decided to join the great adventure that was the Défi Santé 5/30, a vast mobilization campaign. During 12 weeks, the general population would be invited to eat at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables and be active at least 30 minutes, each and every day: a great opportunity for the Canadian Cancer Society to raise awareness about the obvious link between lifestyle choices and cancer and position itself as a leader in prevention.

Th e C a n a da - Ch i n a M i s s i o n During this period, Quebec Division continued its mission in China. Once again, representatives from Quebec were welcomed by thousands of Chinese people in all visited cities. This success was highlighted by the participation of Dashan, a superstar of Chinese television. Incidentally, in October of 2004, the Canadian Cancer Society recognized Mark Rowswell, the Canadian comedian known in China as Dashan, by presenting him with a Special Recognition Award for his volunteering as Society spokesperson for the cancer education mission to China.

Advocating for prevention everyday: the actions of our volunteers and employees Promoting health and healthy lifestyle choices could not be done without the tireless work of our prevention volunteers and our regional offices employees. They are the ones who: • Develop lasting relationships with numerous regional and provincial partners such as CLSCs, clinics and hospitals, the business and school communities, diverse community centres and groups, the Programme québécois de dépistage du cancer du sein • Host information booths, conferences, information and awareness activities • Integrate prevention components during diverse Society events To support all of those people, a Prevention Activities Guide was put together and distributed to all regional offices in 2004. It acts as a true source of inspiration to carry out activities and deliver the Canadian Cancer Society’s messages of prevention to the population of Quebec.

Bringing together your donations and our researchers has allowed for a formidable expansion of our knowledge of cancer over the past 20 years. However, our fight is far from over. Many concepts still need to be resolved and treatments must be improved to ensure a better quality of life for those who will live through a cancer experience and to reduce everyone’s risk of cancer. At the beginning of the 2004-2005 fiscal period, the Quebec Division vowed to grant $3.2 million to the National Cancer Institute of Canada (NCIC), the Canadian Cancer Society’s scientific partner, to sponsor Canada’s most promising cancer research projects. In the course of the period, in light of the division’s excellent foreseeable fiscal performance, the Board of Directors consented to grant an extra $300,000 to research. Proof of the dynamic state of research in Quebec, researchers in our province received more than twice the Quebec Division’s annual financial contribution to the national research fund.

An implic ation above and beyond simple funding In matters of cancer research, the Quebec Division’s role exceeds simple funding. It is equally important for us to: • Promote Quebec researchers funded by the Canadian Cancer Society • Maintain a relationship with these researchers and the research centres where they work • Make research and research progress accessible to the general public by promoting clear and simple messages filled with hope • Educate our volunteers and employees in order for them to become our ambassadors in matters of research In 2004, a few volunteers and employees of the Quebec Division were privileged to attend a national meeting – Breaking Ground –The Power of Research – organized by the NCIC. This meeting aimed at presenting the advancements of research in several fields funded by the Canadian Cancer Society. Researchers presented their projects, often accompanied by people who have had cancer and have participated in their research. These people offered powerful testimonials of their fight against cancer and of their triumph over the disease, thanks to research funded by the Canadian Cancer Society. This event allowed the Quebec delegation to lay the groundwork for the next annual meeting of volunteers to be held in November of 2005, focusing on research.

As is the case every year in April, research grants awarded by the Canadian Cancer Society were announced. Eighteen projects led by Quebec researchers were accepted, bringing the total number of ongoing projects funded by the Society in Quebec for 2004-2005 to 75. During the 2004-2005 fiscal period, two of our researchers were put in the spotlight: • Dr. Jennifer O’Loughlin discovered that nicotine addiction is genetic in certain teens. Her work, which she has been leading since 1999 on 1,200 Montreal teens, focuses on the genetic and environmental risk factors of nicotine addiction in young people. The results published by Dr. O’Loughlin reinforce the importance of primary prevention efforts for teens, even before they experiment with their first cigarette. These conclusions will now be used by the Canadian Cancer Society to implement more efficient tobacco-cessation programs, adapted to the needs and degree of addiction of each person.

• Dr. Eduardo Franco was awarded the O. Harold Warwick prize by the National Cancer Institute of Canada for his important contribution to the fight against cancer in Canada. He participated in a vast international clinical trial to test a new vaccine that should considerably reduce the incidence of cervical cancer.

Without the financial support of our donors and sponsors and the unrelenting efforts of our volunteers and employees, the Quebec Division could not have met its goal of $15 million set at the beginning of his mandate by our president. Together. Strong. The Canadian Cancer Society’s slogan makes sense when we put each of the dollars raised during different fundraising activities together. Whether it is $2 to buy a daffodil, an important sponsorship for the Daffodil Ball, a donation made to the memory of a loved one lost to cancer, a sleepless night given to Relay For Life, whatever the amount and way of contributing, Quebecers are always generous in answering the Canadian Cancer Society’s call. Because cancer touches one out of every three persons, they feel summoned by our cause and show their confidence. They know that the Canadian Cancer Society uses funds rigorously and allocates them to one of its 5 priorities – research, information, support, prevention and advocacy – in order to make a difference. Our fundraising success depends on the support of our employees and of our 25,000 volunteers devoted to our cause.

Rel ay For Life In 2004, Relay For Life is the source of revenue that has grown the most. Whereas in 2003 Relay For Life represented 5% of the Quebec Division’s revenue, it now represents 9% of its revenue for a total of $1.4 million. This signature event of the Canadian Cancer Society is a wonderful example of mobilization. In 2004, Relay For Life in Quebec is: • 26 events • 6,300 participants in a 12-hour relay, from evening until morning • 1,700 cancer survivors proudly taking part in the Survivors’ Victory Lap • 34,000 luminaries lit at dusk, during the Luminary Ceremony • 1,200 volunteers, led by employees, who organized events and recruited teams and sponsors • 21,000 donors and sponsors who financially supported participants and events

Daffodil Days In 2004, revenue generated by the Daffodil Days increased to reach $1.9 million – remarkable revenue considering that a part of the daffodils intended for the Quebec Division were in poor shape, having been exposed to fluctuating temperatures during transportation. Loyal supporters of Daffodil Days bought their daffodils or bouquets nonetheless; a great sign that much more than to the daffodil itself, it is to the cause that they are faithful.

[14

Th e Da f fo d i l B a ll The majority of fundraising activities organized by the Canadian Cancer Society are designed for the general public. The Daffodil Ball is the exception and for just cause. It is a unique event with an international reputation designed for the corporate community, allowing the Canadian Cancer Society to raise over $2 million in a single evening. The Canadian Cancer Society’s Daffodil Ball is the most important event benefiting cancer in Canada. Corporations from Quebec, Canada and abroad contribute to the Ball, offering the Canadian Cancer Society substantial financial support that would be difficult, even impossible, to receive otherwise.

Diverse special events Several benefits like gastronomic gatherings, exclusive shopping evenings, golf tournaments, bowl-o-thons, Jail-N- Bail, Cops for Cancer are just a few of the ways to have fun while contributing to the fight against cancer. Revenue through participation and sponsorship for these events increased in 2004-2005 and accounted for more than $1.7 million in revenue for the Quebec Division.

In Memoriam donations and pl anned gifts During important moments of their lives, tens of thousands of Quebecers choose the Canadian Cancer Society. Thus, when a loved one passes or when comes the time for their financial or estate planning, many people choose to give to the Society. In 2004-2005, In Memoriam donations accounted for $1.8 million in revenue, while planned gifts represented $2.3 million.

Fu n d r a i s i n g c a m pa i g n s The fundraising campaigns include revenue from our door-to-door campaign, direct-mail solicitation, corporate gifts, monthly giving and employee payroll deductions. Once again, individuals and corporations generously responded to the Canadian Cancer Society’s volunteers, allowing us to raise more than $2.2 million.

Q U E B E C D I V I S I O N ’ S F I N A N C I A L V I TA L I T Y Each dollar is important. By putting them all together, we can make a bigger difference in the lives of people living with cancer. The Quebec Division of the Canadian Cancer Society has had an exceptional fiscal performance in 2004-2005, thereby achieving its goal of $15,000,000 set by the president of the Board of Directors at the beginning of his term and thereby contributing even more money to the fight against cancer. Such results allow us to make an even greater difference in the lives of people living with cancer and of their loved ones. Thanks to our generous donors and the unrelenting work of our volunteers and employees, we have succeeded in accruing our revenue by diversifying and securing our sources of controllable revenue, that is the sources of revenue that directly depend on the efforts of our volunteers and employees. In 2004-2005, revenue from planned gifts dropped by 6% after reaching an unparalleled high in 2003-2004, but revenue from special events like Relay For Life (95% increase), the Daffodil Ball (8% increase) and other special events (8% increase) largely compensated for this drop in planned gifts. This revenue greatly influenced this year’s fiscal performance, resulting in a 2% global revenue increase. In 2004-2005, we have continued to invest in our 5 priorities: research, information, support for people living with cancer, prevention and advocacy work. The Quebec Division contributed the total amount of $3.5 million to research, even granting an extra $300,000 at the end of the fiscal year, thanks to its excellent revenue. In matters of information and prevention, the Division maintained its commitments in 2004-2005. The Board of Directors has, however, decided to consent more efforts to prevention over the next few years. As at least 50% of cancers can be prevented through healthy living and policies that protect the public, it is essential that an organization as credible as the Canadian Cancer Society play a leading role in raising awareness in both the general population and government on the importance of adopting a healthy lifestyle and instating policies that protect the public. In matters of support for people living with cancer, 2004-2005 saw the launch of Cancer J’écoute (CancerConnection), a telephone support service, and the maintenance of lodging, transportation and financial and practical assistance. The money devoted to advocacy work does not paint an accurate picture of the sum of the Quebec Division’s efforts in the matter, as certain Quebec Division employees devote an important portion of their time to this field of activity and volunteers dedicate countless hours of work to the cause. It is important to note that one of Quebec Division’s most important assets is the time that is given by its some 25,000 devoted volunteers. Each of our priorities benefits from their contribution, yet as their services are offered without charge, they do not appear in financial statements. The Quebec Division has set up a reserve fund of $2.7M, of which $1.9M has been allocated to protect itself from economic uncertainty and $800,000 is allocated to prevention, marketing and resource development projects. Additional funds have been earmarked to guarantee our future commitments regarding priorities chosen by the board of directors. Concerned with well-equipping its volunteers and employees in matters of fundraising, Quebec Division organised, in November of 2004, a conference on revenue development to train and inform volunteers and employees working in fundraising. A privileged opportunity to share best practices, criteria, standards and rigorous norms that govern fundraising at the Canadian Cancer Society. The increased contributions of all kinds are an unequivocal testimony to the confidence that Quebecers place in the Canadian Cancer Society and we are keenly aware of it. That is why we continuously strive to minimize the general cost of fundraising to ensure that a maximum of money raised is invested in the fight against cancer. We apply efficient internal controls, as well as procedures allowing us to survey key indicators. We invest in low risk investments and we ensure sufficient liquidity. All together, we are creating a world where no one will fear cancer.

Volunteers are an invaluable asset to the Canadian Cancer Society. Without their dedication to the fight against cancer, we could not have engaged in so many activities. Together, we are stronger and we are making a difference.

Our volunteers in action Most of our volunteers participate in our fundraising activities. However, some volunteers choose to contribute in other ways, by: • Sharing their cancer experience with people living with cancer or their loved ones • Leading support or discussion groups • Driving Society Lodge residents to and from their treatment centres • Welcoming Society Lodge residents and making them feel at home • Promoting health and sharing our cancer risk reduction messages in schools, businesses, fairs, etc. • Maintaining close ties with local media • Becoming expert spokespersons on subjects linked to health and cancer at media events or conferences • Offering general administrative support (data entry, filing, photocopying, etc.) • Becoming a member of the board of directors, of an advisory committee or of a unit • Defending public health interests We can make a difference, because our volunteers have wholeheartedly embraced our mission. We thank them sincerely.
