Message from the Chair
In the eight years I have served on the Foundation Board I have had the
privilege of meeting many wonderful CHEO patients in person. I have also
come to know countless more through conversations with Foundation and
Hospital staff members who were often just describing another day in
which they had been touched by a patient. I have noticed that when people
talk about the children and youth at CHEO they make a special effort to
communicate the personality of the child. They tell me how she laughs, or
how he is strong, or how they are shy and quiet but their amazing eyes
David Cork
speak volumes. The descriptions always seem to contain a little bit more
passion than in a normal conversation.
When I asked myself why this is, I found the answer was no farther away

than my own kids. As everyone who has children knows, each child is their
own “Ray of Light” in their parents’ eyes. And when you come in contact
with, and get to know, a child whose health has them spending time at
CHEO, you realize that these patients are all children who have incredible
lives to live outside of the walls of CHEO. They are children who want the
same things that all kids want, play the same way that all children play, and
love the same way that all kids love. Even when dealing with a road made
very rough by health issues, the “Ray of Light” still burns bright in the eyes
of a child. It burns bright inside all of us as well and that, I think, is why our
community holds CHEO so dear to its heart.
This Annual Report tells us that 2005 was a record breaking year for the
CHEO Foundation and we have you, our generous donors and supporters
to thank for this amazing success.
As I come to the end of my term as Chair I would like to thank Fred Bartlett
and his team of truly dedicated staff that have transformed the hospital’s
vision into the extraordinary results we have seen. I have been fortunate
to work with very committed board members whose hard work represents
When the final total of
$4,537,260 rolled in on the
CJOH Telethon for CHEO the
atmosphere at Nortel was one
of complete jubilation! What an
exciting way to end the 24 hour

and families allowed the public

for our beloved hospital and for
that we are so thankful. To all
those who shared their CHEO
experiences with us and to
everyone who phoned in their
pledge, thank you from the
bottom of our hearts.
the health interests of our communities’ children. It has been a privilege
to serve as the Foundation Chair and I can assure all the stakeholders of
the Children’s Hospital that our financial position is strong and the future
is indeed bright.
It is the hard work of all of these people, and the generosity of the many
communities that rely on CHEO, that will help keep all of our special
“Rays of Light” burning bright.
“I love the play room.”

The Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario
The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) opened its doors in
May 1974, and offers a full spectrum of world-class paediatric services to
children and youth from birth to 18 years who live in eastern Ontario,
western Quebec, Baffin Island and beyond.
It is a unique paediatric centre, unquestionably dedicated to providing
exceptional care for children, youth and their families in a family-centred
environment. This dedication extends through its firm commitment to
being a community resource, a provincial and national leader in the
provision of paediatric health care, and an advocate for children and
youth’s well-being.
In 2005, more than 6,000 patients were admitted to CHEO. 52,292 children
and youth visited CHEO’s Emergency Department, 134,281 children and
youth visited outpatient or ambulatory care clinics and over 7,000 patients
had outpatient/day surgery.
CHEO now houses 150 inpatient beds—20 are in Neonatal Intensive Care,
10 in Paediatric Intensive Care, 25 are in Psychiatry and 95 in inpatient
wards. CHEO has six patient service units, including 63 different outpatient
or ambulatory care clinics.
Located in Ottawa, the nation’s capital, it is the primary paediatric teaching
hospital of the University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine. CHEO provides
paediatric training for the Faculty of Medicine, in addition to all disciplines
7. The privacy of donors will be respected. Any

suppliers must sign Confidentiality Agreements.
Donors have the right to see their own donor
record, and to challenge its accuracy.
8. Under no circumstances will the Foundation
exchange, rent, or otherwise share its
fundraising list with other individuals or
organizations.
9. Donors and prospective donors will be treated

honour their requests to:
• limit the frequency of solicitations;
• not to be solicited by telephone or other
technology; and
• not receive printed material concerning the
Foundation or CHEO.
10. The Foundation will respond promptly to a
complaint from a donor or a prospective
donor about any matter that is addressed in
this Code. The President and Chief Executive
Officer will attempt to satisfy the
complainant’s concerns in the first instance. A
complainant who remains dissatisfied will be
informed that he/she may appeal in writing to
the Foundation Board and will be advised
in writing of the disposition of the appeal.
related to child and adolescent health. As such, CHEO welcomes interns,
residents and fellows in a number of specialties and sub-specialties on an
ongoing basis.
Every day, hundreds of scientists, doctors, nurses and health care
professionals at CHEO conduct research directed at improving the health of
children and youth. Established in 1984, CHEO’s Research Institute is one of
the institutes associated with the University of Ottawa and brings together
the work and expertise of more than 200 health professionals. Their work
spans a wide range of critical areas of research from benchtop to bedside
and is published internationally. CHEO’s Research Institute houses the
Apoptosis Research Centre—a state of the art centre dedicated to the
investigation of apoptosis or programmed cell death.

B. Fundraising Practices
1. Fundraising solicitations on behalf of the
Foundation will:
• be truthful;
• accurately describe the Foundation and
CHEO’s activities and the intended use of
donated funds; and,
• respect the dignity and privacy of those
who benefit from Hospital activities.
2. Volunteers, employees and consultants who
solicit or receive funds on behalf of the
Foundation shall:
• adhere to the provisions of this Ethical
Fundraising and Financial Accountability
Code;
• act with fairness, integrity, and in
accordance with all applicable laws;
• adhere to the provisions of applicable
professional codes of ethics, standards of
practice, etc.;
• cease solicitation of a prospective donor
who identifies the solicitation as
harassment or undue pressure;
• disclose immediately to the Foundation any
actual or apparent conflict of interest; and
• not accept donations for purposes that are
inconsistent with the Foundation or CHEO’s
objects or mission.
3. Paid fundraisers, whether staff or consultants,
will be compensated by a salary, retainer or fee,
and will not be paid finders’ fees, commissions
or other payments based on either the number
of gifts received or the value of funds raised.
Compensation policies for fundraisers, including
performance-based compensation practices
(such as salary increases or bonuses) will be
consistent with the Foundation’s policies and
practices that apply to non-fundraising
personnel.
4. The Foundation Board will be informed at least
annually of the number, type and disposition of
complaints received from donors or prospective
donors about matters that are addressed in this
Ethical Fundraising and Financial
Accountability Code.
The Children’s Hospital Foundation
Records are broken all the time. Weather records like lowest temperature,
sports records like most goals in an NHL season, or entertainment records
like the most money raised in a movie’s opening weekend. While these
types of records are interesting and provide great fodder for conversation,
the records reported in this Annual Report are truly meaningful.
In 2005 we experienced record breaking totals in our three largest
fundraising events; Tour Nortel, our cycling and walking event raised
$507,508; we sold over 50,000 tickets in our Dream of a Lifetime Lottery
and our CHEO Telethon total surpassed the $4.5 million mark for the first
time in history. We also set a new mark for total dollars raised in a year
with $15.5 million coming into the Foundation. Dedicated people
throughout our region also set a new benchmark by organizing close to
200 special fundraising events for CHEO’s kids.
Our mission: To further the physical, mental and
social well-being of children and their families in
Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec by raising,
managing and disbursing funds.
C. Financial Accountability
1. The Foundation’s financial affairs will be
conducted in a responsible manner, consistent
with the ethical obligations of stewardship and
the legal requirements of provincial and federal
regulators.
2. All donations will be used to support the
Foundation’s objects, as registered with
Canada Revenue Agency.
These amazing records demonstrate the warm and caring connection that
our communities have with the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. All of
us here at CHEO and the CHEO Foundation realize how lucky we are to
have such a caring community – a community that is filled with people who
put paediatric health care at, or near the top of their list of what is really
important. It is this commitment that helps us raise the much needed funds
that help the doctors, nurses and staff provide the first-rate health care that
parents expect and our children deserve. Each year the hospital identifies
major areas that require funding. These have traditionally fallen into the
following areas:
• Research start-up grants
• Equipment
• Staff education
• Family emergency needs
• Enhancements to the paediatric nature of CHEO
The Hospital and Foundation boards collaborate to distribute the funds
where the needs are greatest.
The Foundation commits approximately $900,000 per year to the CHEO
Research Institute for distribution to researchers starting new projects.
Foundation funding helps enhance the paediatric nature of the hospital.
Kids need to be kids, no matter how sick they are, and improvements to
the physical environment such as child-friendly decor, play parks, video
game stations and more are vital to making a child’s stay in hospital as
normal as can be. Some funding is made available to CHEO social workers
who in turn help families who are in crisis and need short-term financial
assistance to make it through a difficult period.
For all of us at the CHEO Foundation the most exciting and encouraging
thing about our record breaking 2005, is that it was all made possible by
the generosity of the people in this community. With their continued
support, we can keep raising the bar to heights that will ensure that worldclass paediatric health care is available to the families of Eastern Ontario
and Western Quebec now…and in the future.
3. All restricted or designated donations will be
used for the purposes for which they are given.
If necessary, due to program or organizational
changes, alternative uses will be discussed
where possible with the donor or the donor’s
legal designate. If no agreement can be reached
with the donor or his/her legal designate about
alternative uses for a restricted or designated
donation, the Foundation will return the
unexpended portion of the donation. If the
donor is deceased or legally incompetent, the
donation will be used in a manner that is as
consistent as possible with the donor’s
original intent.
4. Annual financial reports will:
• be factual and accurate in all material
respects;
• disclose:
– the total amount of fundraising revenues
(receipted and non-receipted);
– the total amount of fundraising expenses
(including salaries and overhead costs);
– the total amount of donations that are
receipted for income tax purposes
(excluding bequests, endowed donations
that cannot be expended for at least 10
years, and gifts from other charities);
– the total amount of expenditures on
charitable activities (including gifts to
other charities);
• identify government grants and
contributions separately from other
donations; and
• be prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and
standards established by the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants, in all
material respects.
5. No more will be spent on administration and
fundraising than is required to ensure effective
management and resource development. In any
event, the Foundation will meet or exceed
Canada Revenue Agency’s requirement for
expenditures on charitable activities.
6. The cost-effectiveness of the Foundation’s
fundraising program will be reviewed regularly
by the Board.
On September 21st CHEO unveiled an incredible collection of the legendary photographer
Yousuf Karsh’s portraits which are now on permanent display at CHEO. The Karsh
portrait collection is part of a generous legacy gift to CHEO from Mrs. Estrellita Karsh and
her late husband Yousuf Karsh. To recognize this donation and years of support from
Mr. and Mrs. Karsh, the CHEO Emergency Department has been officially named
“The Estrellita and Yousuf Karsh Emergency Department.”

There are 60 to 80 new cases of childhood cancer diagnosed each year at CHEO and once again this proved to
be a great incentive for people participating in Tour Nortel. Our annual bike ride and walking event had a record
breaking year as the community joined the McDonald’s Dream Team and raised $507,508! Many thanks to all
those who participated or made a pledge.
À chaque année, de 60 à 80 nouveaux cas d’enfants souffrant de cancer sont diagnostiqués au CHEO. Ces
statistiques ont servi d’incitatif aux participants qui se sont inscrits en grand nombre au Tour Nortel, événement
annuel pour marcheurs et cyclistes qui se sont joints à l’Équipe de rêve McDonald pour amasser la somme de
507 508 $. Nous remercions tous ceux qui y ont participés ou qui ont fait un don au CHEO.

“CHEO was like a second family to me. They really took care of me
and made me feel really comfortable. Writing really makes me
happy. I like to write poetry and short stories. I think I want
to be a teacher someday.”
« Le CHEO est ma deuxième famille. Ils ont tous si bien pris soin
de moi. J’adore écrire, surtout des poèmes et des nouvelles car
cela me rend heureuse. Je crois qu’un jour je serai professeur ».
For the second year the airwaves
on 106.9 The Bear and Y101 came
alive as CHEO patients shared
their experiences with listeners for
the Bear’s Have a Heart for CHEO
radiothon and the Y101 Country
Cares Challenge for CHEO. The
Bear listeners phoned in $316,445
and the Y101 listeners pledged
$215,000! It was a remarkable
way for the community to show
their support to all those who
shared their stories. Thank you!
Pour la deuxième année
consécutive, les stations-radio
The Bear 106,9 et Y101 ont
radiodiffusé en direct de la
cafétéria de l’hôpital, mettant en
vedette les patients du CHEO. Les
radiothons « Donnez avec cœur
aux enfants du CHEO » et
« Relevez le défi pour le CHEO »
ont permis aux patients de
raconter leurs histoires et de les
partager avec de nombreux
auditeurs. Le radiothon de la
station The Bear a amassé la
somme de 316 445 $, alors que
celui de Y101 a récolté 215 000 $.
Merci à tous les auditeurs qui,
encore une fois, ont témoigné leur
appui au CHEO.
“I want to be a doctor
so I can help all the sick
kids the way that CHEO
helped my little sister.”
« Je veux devenir médecin
pour aider tous les enfants
malades, comme le CHEO a
aidé ma petite sœur ».

On a beautiful day in May hundreds of spectators came to watch their duck float to the finish line of the
CHEO Duck Race. With wonderful prizes up for grabs people were excited about buying their duck and an
amazing $185,000 was raised for the children and youth at CHEO. It’s a fun event with great rewards for
the hospital.
Lors d’un beau samedi du mois de mai, des centaines de spectateurs sont venus supporter leur petit canard
jaune afin qu’il franchisse en premier le fil d’arrivée lors de la Course des canards du CHEO. Des milliers de
petits canards ont été vendus et, grâce à la générosité de nos fidèles supporteurs, la somme de 185 000 $
a été amassée. Une journée de plaisirs pour tous qui a su profiter aux enfants et aux adolescents du CHEO.

“Jarah is such a happy child. She laughs at everything…her brother,
her dog, her cat…She’s crawling now and pulling herself up using
the furniture so we’re pretty sure she’ll be trying to walk soon.”
« Jarah est une enfant heureuse. Elle rit de tout et de rien …
de son frère, de son chat et de son chien. Elle marchera bientôt
car elle se tient chancelante d’un point à l’autre ».
