The daffodil, a fresh new symbol The first version of the daffodil was abstract and plain, a concept that won public approval. Society volunteers, however, expressed their preference for an image that captures the flower’s true likeness. The logo we settled on marries the two concepts: the daffodil retains the abstract elements of the first draft but is vividly framed in a pure blue square. Conclusion The Canadian Cancer Society’s new logo successfully combines these divergent perspectives : the shapes range from free flowing to a more anchored appearance; while the bright yellow contrasts sharply with the pure blue. The whole elegantly reflects the hope and compassion, strength and rigour that define the Society. ii pages Why change our logo ? community-based a Summary - Sponsored Researchers in Quebec in 2000 Administrative Regional Offices 12 iii Major Activities in 2000 Revenue Fundraising campaigns 2,026,357 Special events 4,613,089 “In Memoriam” donations 1,489,033 Bequests 1,038,382 313,311 Patients’ lodge Tobacco control - “Air pur” 63,504 Investments 47,805 Other revenue 12,263 Expenses Public education 1,657,463 Services for people living with cancer 1,444,452 685,714 Administration Cost of fundraising campaigns 1,007,177 Cost of special events 1,016,844 National assessments 3,501,571 National Cancer Institute of Canada 384,770 National program Research Services for people living with cancer Public education Campaign Allocation of funds in 2000 (%) Administration Expenses (in millions of dollars) National program Revenue (in millions of dollars) 1 Message from the President of the Division and the Executive Director T he Canadian Cancer Society has a new face! The caduceus, a symbol of the unrelenting fight against cancer for 60 years, and an emblem of the medical world, has served the Society well over many years of darkness. Today, the daffodil has taken its place as the Society’s official logo. A symbol of hope and courage, the daffodil faithfully reflects the realities of an organization that is engaged in the fight against cancer on several fronts, including cancer research, education in cancer prevention and support to people living with cancer. The daffodil—a long-time presence within the organization—has come to be recognized by our people as an emblem of the Canadian Cancer Society. Who has not heard of Daffodil Days, which usher in spring every year? In Quebec alone, annual daffodil sales bring in over $1 million. And then there are the many events that take place across Quebec where our representative flower, a sight familiar to the public, trumpets both strength and compassion. The new millennium was an ideal opportunity for the Canadian Cancer Society to adopt a new image and a new slogan, unveiled here for the first time: “Let’s make cancer history.” In closing, a word from your president, who is completing her term with a heavy heart, leaving behind a role that placed her at the heart of the action for two very short years. “Our new slogan captures the essence of what every president hopes to accomplish during a mandate. We can be proud of our many successes in areas such as research, programs and fundraising. But much remains to be done. The fight will not be over until cancer is history. The key to our success is our dedicated team of volunteers, our capable staff and our generous donors.” Thank you!

In stark contrast to the impersonal feel of most institutional settings, the architect created a friendly and discreet environment that gives the Lodge all the warmth and charm of a home away from home. In addition to 30 double rooms, the Lodge has several beautifully decorated lounges, located on each floor. For the gregarious, the Lodge also offers more spacious common rooms. In the summer, residents can enjoy the three terraces as well as the garden. An address worth noting Since September 1989, the offices of the Quebec Division and the Montreal region have been located at 5151 Assomption Boulevard, in Montreal. The French language Cancer Information Service joined them in 1996. A location to be proud of By acquiring its own location, the Canadian Cancer Society was also seeking to gain greater visibility and to make the Lodge an important centre for all cancer-related matters. Since its inauguration in April 1990, some 5000 people have been residents at the Lodge and thousands of others have attended meetings there, as well as symposia, conferences, training workshops, get togethers and media events. Over the last decade, the Lodge has become a place of choice for discussing cancer-related topics. Last year alone the Lodge hosted a wide range of activities. One Step at a Time On December 9, a few days before the law prohibiting smoking in the workplace came into effect, the Canadian Cancer Society invited the media to attend the launching of its program One Step at a Time, intended for smokers who want to kick the habit on their own. The success of this announcement, which took place at the Lodge, was instantaneous and unprecedented in the history of the Society. In a room filled with curious journalists eager to find out about the method prescribed by the Society—inspired by the Stages of Change model—a drug addiction expert explained the five steps smokers need to take to free themselves from their addiction: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance. As soon as the One Step at a Time program was announced on radio and television, the phones started ringing off the hook at the Cancer Information Service, which had lent its support to the initiative. In the days that followed, the Information Service answered 5300 calls, 1107 of which poured in in the first 24 hours. Normally, the Service responds to an average of 50 calls per day requesting information on cancer. Thanks to the herculean efforts of the Society’s support staff, a crisis was averted and the Information Service was able to rise to the occasion. 4 Another challenge, another victory As the province with the most smokers, Quebec has the highest mortality rate due to lung cancer. Clearly, the Society must work hard to convince Quebecers to kick this deadly habit. Louise Labrie, an outspoken anti-smoking activist and President of the Public Interest Committee, heard about the “Quit and Win” contest and decided to organize this initiative in collaboration with Acti-Menu. She asked the Society to play a leading role. The idea behind the contest was compelling: encourage smokers, with the support of a partner, to quit smoking for six weeks in order to become eligible for the grand draw. On January 20, in a jam-packed room in the Society Lodge, well-known smokers were invited to take up the Challenge: Pierre Légaré was encouraged by his son; Gaston L’Heureux was coached by Dr. Richard Lessard; and Bernard Fortin supported his brother, Dr. Marquis Fortin. It didn’t take long for the news to hit the radio waves and television screens. The promotional material used throughout the province featured the Cancer Information Service number 1-888-939-3333. As a result, the Service’s specialists, assisted by Society staff, responded to 6264 requests for infor- The Lodge celebrates its 10th anniversary Thanks to the generosity of our donors, 5000 people— shaken by the news of a cancer diagnosis and the prospect of leaving loved ones to undergo radiation therapy in Montreal—have found the comfort of a second home at the Canadian Cancer Society Lodge. At an affordable price, the Lodge offers them a comfortable room, three meals a day, transportation to a radiology centre as well as the reassuring presence of a caring team of volunteers. Residents at the Lodge are also given an opportunity to forge meaningful friendships and to take part in various cultural and recreational activities. mation or material during the 6-week campaign. The outcome was nothing short of a success: 20,400 smokers (the number had originally been estimated at 20,000), backed by as many partners, kicked the habit for at least 6 weeks, and were able to take part in a contest in which everyone came out a winner, either by receiving one of the many prizes totaling $40,000, or by enjoying the health benefits of living smoke-free for six weeks. Morale + Quality of Life = Health Do morale and quality of life have an impact on the health of those affected by cancer? That would seem a perfectly obvious equation in theory, but what is the reality? This question was explored by seven speakers who were invited to present their ideas and experience at a seminar held on April 26 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Lodge. A morning press conference preceding the seminar enabled the experts to share the highlights of their afternoon presentations with journalists. An audience of 70 very attentive healthcare volunteers and professionals attended the seminar. The overriding theme of the seminar was that while cancer is a frightening disease, it is not necessarily an incurable one. Increased rates of recovery are largely attributable to the positive dynamic in which patients, families and caregivers join forces to attain a common goal: a return to a healthy life. There can be no doubt that morale and quality of life play a determining role in this collective effort toward recovery—a goal which is no longer an unattainable dream. Louise Labrie (second from left), initiated the « Quit & Win » contest which tourned out to be a great success. There’s more… Over the years, in response to the needs expressed by people living with cancer, the Society produced a calendar of recurring activities, from September to June inclusively. In order to accommodate as many people as possible, activities are scheduled in the morning, afternoon and evening. Here is a typical month of activities at the Society Lodge: 1st Monday of the month 3rd Monday of the month Every Tuesday Last Tuesday of the month 2nd Wednesday of the month 3rd Wednesday of the month “Look Good…Feel Better” workshop (afternoon) “Look Good…Feel Better” workshop (evening) Reiki sessions (3 sessions) Informal get-together (afternoon) Conference on a cancer-related topic (evening) Group meeting for people with cancer (evening) Group meeting for loved ones (evening) Activities are free. Given their popularity and limited space, it is best to register in advance. Attendance varies from 20 to 80 people. Mission accomplished The Lodge has fulfilled the expectations of volunteers who oversaw its construction and who dreamed of a large facility that would provide accommodation and emotional and physical renewal, as well as references and exchanges on cancer-related matters. The purpose of « Look good, feel better » program is to give hope to women by helping them regain confidence in themselves and in life. According to the present speakers, morale and quality of life have a determining influence on health. 5 The Millennium Daffodil Ball Once in a blue moon the event of a lifetime takes place. This is what the “Dream Team” of four high profile CoChairmen achieved with the Millennium Daffodil Ball, which took place on Thursday, April 13th 2000, where 570 elegant guests danced the night away at the Chalet du Mont-Royal. The final result – an unprecedented $1.4 million net profit. 4 5 1 6 3 2 7 6 1.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Society’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. Except as explained in the following paragraph, 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 common with many charitable organizations, the Society derives revenue from donations, the completeness of which is not susceptible of satisfactory audit verification. Accordingly, our verification of this revenue was limited to the amounts recorded in the records of the Society and we were not able to determine whether any adjustments might be necessary to donation revenue, excess of revenue over expenses, assets and unrestricted net assets. In our opinion, except for the effect of adjustments, if any, which we might have determined to be necessary had we been able to satisfy ourselves concerning the completeness of the donation revenue referred to in the preceding paragraph, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Society as at September 30, 2000 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Description of the Society The Canadian Cancer Society (the “Society”) is a charity incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act as a not-forprofit organization. The Society is a national community-based organization of volunteers dedicated to eradicating cancer and improving the quality of life of people living with cancer. The Society carries out its mission through research, public education and services to cancer patients and their families, and uses its influence in matters of public interest. 2. Accounting policies The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and include the following significant accounting policies: Revenue recognition The Society follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions. Restricted contributions are recognized as revenue in the year in which the related expenses are incurred. Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue when received or receivable if the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Expenses Expenses are recorded in the books according to the applicable sector of activity. Certain expenses which cover more than one sector of activity are allocated proportionately, in accordance with the Society’s financial management manual. Prepaid expenses and deferred expenses Prepaid expenses and deferred expenses mainly include pamphlets and instructional materials and are recorded at cost. Capital assets Capital assets are recorded at cost. Contributed capital assets are recorded at fair value at the date of contribution. Capital assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as follows: Building 15 years * Furniture and equipment 4 years * Computer equipment 3 years Automotive equipment 3 years * Estimated useful lives according to the Society’s Canadian policy. Accumulated post retirement benefits other than pensions The Canadian Cancer Society provides certain benefits to retired employees and their spouses. The benefits include medical services, life insurance and extended health care benefits. The cost of these benefits is actuarially determined using the projected benefit method pro-rated on service and management’s best estimate of salary escalation, retirement ages of employees and expected healthcare costs. This benefit plan is not funded. 3.

Accumulated postretirement benefits other than pensions The accrued benefit obligation as at September 30, 2000 is $684,635. There are no assets in the plan, and therefore the plan is unfunded. The expense recognized for the year is $88,277. The amount of contributions during the year is $32,325. The discount rate used in determining the obligation is 6.75%. Healthcare trend costs range as follows: Prescription drugs 10% in 2000 to 6% in 2004 Hospital and dental care 6% in 2000 to 4% in 2002 Other covered expenses 5% in 2000 to 3% in 2002 6. Pension plan The Society has a defined benefit contributory pension plan covering substantially all of its employees. The plan bases benefits on length of service and final average earnings. The pension plan is administered by the Canadian Cancer Society (National). As the plan is not segregated by division, the pension benefits and assets are disclosed in the Society’s consolidated financial statements. The Division made employer contributions to the plan in the amount of $61,719 (1999 - $53,553). Based on the latest actuarial valuation performed as at January 1, 2000, there is no actuarial liability with respect to the plan. 7.
