Board Chair/CEO Report - 2012
Mentoring the “Big Brothers Big Sisters way” is 100 years young in this country and 46 years old in the Peel Region. Our
roots are in Brampton yet our impact now blossoms throughout the entire Region. We have a lot of experience, have
seen much change but know that mentoring matters, is a preventive solution to a multitude of societal issues and
remains a fundamental and life changing solution for all those it touches.
We know that what got us here will not get us there, we know we need our diverse stakeholders and most importantly
our volunteers to help us map the way and we understand that our impact is vast and varied. We look at our challenges
as opportunities, embrace calculated risks and navigate nimbly. We are committed to children and youth and often turn
hard questions around by simply asking ourselves - what is best for the kids?
Our new Agency Service Plan was put into action this year and the dedication to the strategies contained therein landed
us with another year of growth - 1545 children and youth served in the agency. Our collaborative and partnership
initiatives continued to flourish and we are proud to provide leadership in mentoring in our community. Highlights
include the significant expansion of the Game On! Eat Smart, Play Smart, Live Smart program and the Conversation Club,
the creation of the Black Community Advisory Council's Mentoring Program and first time funding from the Ontario
Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Sport for an Afterschool Program.
Our Board of Directors offers strong leadership and governance to ensure oversight to the foundation, vision and
outcomes of the agency. Appreciation is extended to all Board and Committee members for their efforts to enrich the
impact of our mentoring work. The Board struck a new Operations Committee who has undertaken a risk management
project that will serve as the foundation for the strategic planning process to commence over the next year.
A special mention goes to the incredible staff of the agency. Their commitment to mentoring is constantly evidenced by
their ability to navigate through on-going changes, their passionate quest for excellence in service delivery and their
unwavering support of our volunteers, donors and families.
We are constantly reminded that it is the richness of our volunteers that enables so many of our successes. Our
volunteer ranks are over 1300 strong each volunteer enhancing our capacity to be creative and responsive to the needs
of our community. However, our greatest sense of accomplishment comes in the eyes of the children we support …that
twinkle in their eye when they see their mentor joins the many other stars in our BBBS sky…we're making a difference
one twinkle at a time.
Thanks are extended to those who have helped us, are helping us and have yet to help us!
Respectfully Submitted,
David Chondon

TREASURER'S REPORT 2012
On behalf of the members of the Finance Committee and the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to present the financial
statements of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Peel (BBBSP) for the year ended December 31, 2012.
As with 2011, from a financial perspective the agency was forced to contend with a challenging environment. Although
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Peel continues to enjoy an enviable financial position from which to grow, the effects of
competitive pressures and a tough economy has strained donors in both the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors. The
effect has been felt across all revenue lines. Despite working through a budget deficit the balance sheet is strong with
total assets of $514,000 and working capital of $345,000, which despite the volatility of the last few years, is unchanged
from 2009 levels. Net assets total $356,000.
After helping a record number of kids in 2011, the Agency was able to serve an additional 8% of children this past year. As
might be expected, operating expenses increased 2.7% with Salaries & Benefits being the major contributor.
While there was not a material change in revenue, the composition of the Agency's funding continues to shift away from
Fundraising Events to other sources. BBBSP is sensitive to the fact that our community has not fully recovered from the
stressed economy and further, the environment in which not-for profits operate remains highly dynamic. The Agency is
committed to operating in a financially sensible and practical manner.
I would like to extend a sincere thank you to all of our funders, corporate sponsors, foundations and individuals who have
so generously contributed to support the movement. The continuing support of the United Way of Peel Region, Trillium
Foundation and Region of Peel along with funding from the Province of Ontario (Ministry of Education) and Government
of Canada (Citizenship and Immigration Canada) are critical to our continued success. Special thanks as well to TD Bank
Financial Group, George Weston Ltd., Standard Life, Johnston Equipment, Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Sport and
Mattel for their assistance and Michele Darling and the Halo Foundation who continue to be the largest individual donor
to our Agency. In addition, we appreciate the many businesses and individuals who support our vision that every child
who needs a mentor has a mentor.
Enclosed is the 2012 Big Brothers Big Sisters of Peel Financial Overview. A complete set of audited financial statements
prepared by MacGillivray CA is available upon request.
Thank you to the dedicated volunteers, staff, Board and Committee members who are committed to Building a Brighter
Future for the 1,545 children that we serve.
Respectfully submitted,
Glen Way MBA CFP FCSI
Treasurer
