Having completed three full fiscal years of our
formal partnership with UBC, the UBC Alumni
Association finds itself entering a new, more
mature stage of development. We are now
fine-tuning our original agreement with the
university, ably assisted by past UBC Chair
Martin Ertl, BSc ‘93, one of the document’s
original architects.
We’re particularly proud that the spirit of
the agreement served us so well in the early
years of this joint venture. Trusting, respectful relationships with the
university’s senior administrators and campus colleagues resulted in a
tripling of UBC’s investment in alumni relations even in the midst of a very
constrained fiscal environment.
Alumni now receive monthly email news from UBC Alumni Affairs via
the Grad Gazette and come back to campus to immerse themselves in
UBC during Alumni Weekend in May and Homecoming in October. We offer
200 events each year across the Lower Mainland and around the globe,
from small roundtable sessions with President Toope to career events for
younger alumni to faculty lectures to Opera 101 performances.
Last November, we celebrated the 250,000th UBC graduate and today’s
students have a sense that joining the lifelong community of UBC alumni
is indeed a privilege. They note UBC’s robust tradition of alumni volunteer
engagement – as Chancellor of the University, members of the Alumni
Association Board or Faculty Advisory Councils, regional network leaders,
mentors to students – and know that their own contributions of time,
talent, and treasure will be essential to UBC’s future success.
Tuum Est!

Associate Vice President, Alumni · Executive Director, UBC Alumni Association
A Year of Growth
Messages from our Executive Director and Chair
In critiquing the record of the past year’s activities,
I’m struck by the variety and breadth of the
services we offer our alumni, and by the growth
in those services in a relatively short time. Three
years ago, we signed an agreement with UBC
in which both organizations pledged to work
closely together, in fact in a 50/50 partnership,
to serve the interests of our members and of
the university. Judging by this year’s report, we’ve
achieved both the letter and the spirit of that
agreement. This opinion is shared by UBC President, Professor Toope. As
a result the Agreement is being extended and will continue for the benefit
of all alumni – past and future.
I began my term as Chair of the Alumni Association with the goal
to provide more opportunities for alumni to engage in the life of the
university. The effort has paid off, and our work has brought UBC to the
forefront of Canadian universities in alumni engagement. At the end of
my term, I feel even more strongly that an involved, vigorous alumni is one
of the hallmarks of a great university.
This Annual Report gives you a sampling of the services we have delivered
and, of course, a breakdown of our annual financial statements. It is a
testament to both the leadership of Marie Earl and the hard work and
commitment of our volunteers and staff that we are able to achieve so
much while maintaining a high level of fiscal responsibility. I congratulate
everyone in the organization for their effort and their dedication.
I would like to thank my fellow alumni who have served with me on
the Alumni Association board during my term. Gayle Stewart, who now
assumes the Chair, will take our work to the next level of accomplishment.
Special thanks to Gayle for her support over the past three years, and best
of luck to her and her team. It has been my honour to serve this Association
and the University.

10 Bus Stop Café
#
The Bus Stop Café, named for the bus stop
that stood in its place during UBC’s early days,
was one of the most popular spots on campus
and thought of by many as the spiritual home
of the UBC cinnamon bun. It closed its doors
in 1990. The café was a classic diner offering
burgers, fries, shakes, clubhouse and grilled
cheese sandwiches – and those oversized
cinnamon buns – all served by a devoted
group of ‘lunch ladies’. These beloved Bus
Stop waitresses knew customers by name and
customers knew them by name. In the words
of Doris, who waited tables at the Bus Stop
for 17 years: “We were the moms and they
were the kids. It was one big happy family.”
UBC Audio Tours To mark UBC’s centenary, we created
the Dial & Discover cell phone tour at 15 historical spots
around campus. Here are four examples from the tour.
02 Main Library
#
Main Library is in many ways the grand dame
of UBC. Its neo-Gothic appearance has lent
much majesty to the campus since opening in
1925. It’s what we all imagined a university
would be like: vast spaces of granite and oak,
filled with volume after volume on every topic
imaginable, banks of wooden card catalogues,
strict librarians, and reading rooms, like the
Riddington Room, adorned with oil portraits of
distinguished alumni, benefactors, and university
administrators. But recently it has undergone a
radical renewal. The facades remain and some
of the interior detailing has been restored, but
in has stepped some signs of modernity: light,
glass, and a robotic book retrieval system. The
new library has arrived, but memories of the
old Main Library live on.

Sedgewick Library #09
Sedgewick Library opened in 1973. It was named
after Garnett Gladwin Sedgewick, who was
an English professor here from 1918 to 1948.
In terms of design, Sedgewick was everything
that Main Library wasn’t. Main was majestic,
somber, a touch medieval. Sedgewick, by
contrast, was ‘that 70s library’. Complete with
study pods with oval openings, a winding spiral
staircase, and a general colour palette of sunshine
yellow, Tang orange, and Astroturf green. The
vinyl-covered foam benches that were housed in
dark wooden booths were favourite studying
AND sleeping spots. Sedgewick served as UBC’s
official undergraduate – and underground –
library for 23 years. In 1996 plans for a new,
larger undergraduate library were underway
and Sedgewick was amalgamated with the
new Koerner Library.

tour and UBC’s centenary? Call 604.638.2661 or visit

Brock Hall #01
Depending on when you attended UBC, you
may associate Brock Hall with foxtrot lessons,
chamber concerts, used book sales, or financial
assistance services. Named after Dr. R.W. Brock,
a former dean of Applied Science who died in
a plane crash in 1935, Brock Hall opened in
1940 as a campus student centre. It hosted
clubs, speakers, dances, performances, and
faculty formals and homecoming events. After
a serious fire in October 1954, students and
the AMS took action and launched the Rebuild
the Brock fundraising campaign. Within six
months of the fire the building was repaired
and reopened.

Auditors’ Report to the Members
We have audited the statement of financial position of The Alumni
Association of The University of British Columbia as at March 31, 2008
and the statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows
for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Association’s management. 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 plan and
perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Association as at March 31,
2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year
then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles.

Notes to Financial Statements
Year ended March 31, 2008
1. Nature of operations:
2. Significant accounting policies:
The Alumni Association of The University of British Columbia (the
Association) was incorporated in March 1946 with the primary objective of
increasing the involvement of Alumni in the activities of The University of
British Columbia (the University). The direct revenue sources of the
Association are not sufficient to cover its operating and capital expenditures and, as a result, the continued support of the University is required to
finance the activities of the Association.
Effective April 1, 2004, the Association entered into a new three year
agreement with the University. This agreement redefines the relationship
between the Association and the University, and resulted in certain
programs previously administered by the Association being transferred to
the University. The agreement commits the University to funding the
operations of the Association based on approved annual budgets. The
initial term of the agreement expired on April 1, 2007; however, the
agreement automatically continues in effect until terminated at the option
of either party by providing six months written notice of termination to the
other. These financial statements have been presented on a going concern
basis which assumes the continued support of the University.
The Association is non-taxable under the Income Tax Act as a non-profit
organization.
(a) Cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include short-term deposits,
which are highly liquid marketable securities with a maturity of three
months or less when acquired. Short-term deposits are recorded at
fair value.
(b) Short-term investments. Short-term investments, all of which are
categorized as held-for-trading, are carried at fair value.
(c) Furniture and equipment. Furniture and equipment is recorded at
historical cost. Depreciation is recorded at 20% and 33-1/3% per
annum using the straight-line method.
(d) Revenue. The Association receives payment in advance for rental of
Cecil Green Park. The recognition of such revenue is deferred until
the date of the actual rental. The Association also receives payments
pursuant to its membership services and marketing agreements with
MBNA Canada Bank, Meloche Monnex Inc., Clearsight Wealth
Management Inc., and The Manufacturer’s Life Insurance Company.
The Association records revenue from these contracts as services are
rendered over the term of the agreement. Cash received in advance
of services provided is included in deferred revenue.
8 The University of British Columbia Alumni Association
(e) Internal restrictions of net assets. Certain contributions received
from donations, bequests and operations are set aside into a separate
component of net assets. These contributions may be held in term
deposits and the interest income is retained in the fund to maintain
its purchasing power. Appropriation of these funds requires the
approval of the Association’s Board of Directors but is not subject to
other restrictions.
(f) Net assets internally restricted for future equipment purchases.
These contributions have been set aside for equipment replacement
purposes which are approved by the Board of Directors.
(g) Net assets internally restricted for future operating programs.
Appropriations of the operating fund balance are made from time to
time to designate funds for specific projects. When the projects take
place, the costs are included in operating expenses and the appropriations are returned to the operating fund balance.
(h) Revenue contributions. The Association follows the deferral
method of accounting for contributions. Unrestricted contributions
are recognized as revenue when received or receivable if the amount
to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection reasonably
assured. Endowment contributions are recognized as direct increases
in net assets. The Association currently has no endowment funds.
Other contributions subject to external restrictions are not significant
and are recognized as revenue in the year in which the related
expenses are incurred.
(i) Contributed services. Volunteers contribute significant time each
year to assist in carrying out the Association’s service delivery
activities. Because of the difficulty of determining their fair value, contributed services are not recognized in the financial statements.
(j) Use of estimates. The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant
areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to revenue
recognition and the determination of useful lives of furniture and
equipment for calculating depreciation.
(k) Financial instruments. During the year, the Association adopted
the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Handbook
Section 3855, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement
and Section 3861, Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation
to account for its financial assets and financial liabilities. These
sections require that all non-derivative financial assets and liabilities
be measured at fair value with the exception of (i) loans and
receivables and held-to-maturity investments, which should be
measured at amortized cost; and (ii) investments in equity instruments
that do not have a quoted market price in an active market, which
should be measured at cost, other than such instruments that are
classified as held-for-trading.
Subsequent measurement and changes in fair value will depend on
initial classification. Held-for-trading assets and liabilities are
measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized in
operations. Available for sale investments are measured at fair value
with changes in fair value recorded in the statement of changes in
net assets until the investment is re-recognized or other than
temporarily impaired at which time the amounts would be recorded
in operations.
These sections also require that gains and losses on financial
instruments measured at fair value be recognized in operations in the
periods in which they arise, with the exception of (i) unrealized gains
and losses on financial assets classified as available-for-sale, which are
recognized directly in net assets until the financial asset is derecognized or becomes impaired; and (ii) certain financial instruments that
are part of a designated hedging relationship.
The adoption of these sections did not result in an adjustment to
opening net assets.
(l) Future accounting changes. On December 1, 2006, the CICA issued
two new accounting standards: Handbook Section 3862, Financial
Instruments – Disclosures (Section 3862), and Handbook Section
3863, Financial Instruments – Presentation (Section 3863). These new
standards become effective for the Association on April 1, 2008.
Sections 3862 and 3863 replace Handbook Section 3861, Financial
Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation, revising and enhancing its
disclosure requirements, and carrying forward unchanged its
presentation requirements. These new sections place increased
emphasis on disclosures about the nature and extent of risks arising
from financial instruments and how the entity manages those risks.
The Association is currently evaluating the impact of these
accounting standards for fiscal year 2009.
