Message from the Mayor
Change starts here!
On behalf of Council and the residents of the Regional
Municipality of Wood Buffalo, I offer heartfelt thanks to
The United Way of Fort McMurray for their hard work and
commitment to education, social innovation and community
engagement. Your efforts, together with the goodwill you
help to create, make countless positive contributions to the
community and improve the quality of life for people across
our region.
The dramatic success of last year’s campaign for The United
Way of Fort McMurray is further proof that the entire
community is committed to creating positive change here at
home—even in trying economic times.
Our residents are known for their generosity and spirit and
this year was no exception. The local fundraising campaign
shattered its target and, in just 10 weeks, collected a total of
$8.18 million to support innovative community programming
across 24 partner agencies. This tremendous success will
mean improved resources and much-needed help for people
of all ages in our region.
Melissa Blake
Mayor
Regional Muncipality of Wood Buffalo
The future is bright for our community and this is especially
true for the United Way of Fort McMurray and its community
partners. 2015 will see new change and growth as they
move into their new home at The Redpoll Centre at Shell
Place. This exciting venue will feature a new shared space
for social profits and will bring together a strong network of
organizations and engaged citizens in the social hub of the
community.

A Message to our Community
Building on the expertise gained in successfully operating
The Redpoll Centre, the United Way was chosen by the
Regional Recreation Corporation’s selection committee to
operate the shared space for social profits at Shell Place.
Along with the partnership of the Suncor Energy Foundation,
the progressive investment strategies of the Board of
Directors has ensured that we will financially be able to
undertake this expansion which will provide incubation
and increased impact and support for a greater number of
community benefit organizations, including several sport or
recreational organizations.
During 2014 we shared the release of a new United Way
mobile enhanced website and app. We also produced
three virtual “Seeing is Believing” tour videos and an
overall Community Campaign video thanks to a local
filmmaking company called DK Films who are featured in this
Annual Report. The Board identified that having the right
communication tools is critical to sharing the United Way
story and the impact created by our member agencies.
In this Annual Report we will give you a closer look at a few
of the people connected to United Way. You will learn about
our collective achievements, our volunteers, the generosity
of our donors, and about a few of the programs that are
changing lives through the compassion and dedication of all
these people.
The Board continues to update its strategic and risk
management plans, always being mindful that we live in
a dynamic community. Strong governance principles, a
commitment to openness and transparency, and being stolid
stewards of donor dollars has put us in a strong position to
move forward during a time of falling oil prices.
We live in a wonderful community and after 37 years the
United Way continues to strengthen our support of the most
pressing social needs to make this a truly great home for
everyone.
As an organization, we are tremendously grateful for the
knowledge, insight and hard work provided by our volunteer
Board members, Community Investment Committee, and
our skilled staff team. We know that we cannot achieve
these goals alone. It is only through the collective action of
these people that we succeed as a community and we are
incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together.
We have an opportunity to build on this momentum and
together we will keep helping kids thrive, fighting poverty,
and building a stronger, more resilient and remarkable
community.
We are known as a place where people have lucrative
careers, live vibrant and healthy lives, and raise families who
are able to participate in a variety of activities and have
access to resources. We know, however, that any of us may
face an unexpected crisis and not be certain where to turn
for help. We focus on bridging gaps for those people as
well as the most chronically vulnerable, who are supported
every day.
Poverty is an example of something that can affect someone
at any time. All it takes is one unforeseen circumstance
like a job layoff or serious illness. We continue to strive,
along with other community partners, to advance our
understanding and create awareness around the need for
a local poverty reduction/social inclusion strategy. As the
province implements more pieces of their Social Policy, this
will become important locally to help families achieve or
regain independence.
Ben Dutton
President
Board of Directors
The United Way of Fort McMurray has been a partner in a
number of collaborative initiatives including the Community
Wellbeing Survey, which provided baseline data for a
number of indicators, a shared measurement system for
how we’re doing as a community and region. We have also
been strong partners in the Social Prosperity Wood Buffalo
project, ConvergenceYMM, the Heart of Wood Buffalo
Leadership Awards, 211, and the Strategy Roadmap.

Diane Shannon
Executive Director
United Way was a proud partner in the 2nd annual
ConvergenceYMM Conference that focused on cultivating a
collective voice for the social profit sector.
As part of our capacity building efforts, we hosted our Agency
Forum and Info Session that included a workshop on effective
story-telling. The results have been very positive.
Staff at the United Way got into the spirit of the ALS Ice Bucket
Challenge and got soaked for a good cause in the summer of
2014.
The Tools for School program ran through August with our
partners at Staples, Boston Pizza and Peter Pond Mall, which
enabled us to help over 500 children get equipped for school.
The United Way of Fort McMurray was announced as the
anchor tenant of the community hub at Shell Place in March
2014. The Redpoll Centre will move in May 2015.
Cliff Dimm was on hand at our VIP Red Carpet Reception to
announce a legacy gift from the estate of Barb Jewers, former
President of The United Way of Fort McMurray, for $50,000.

All That Kids Can Be
and pastels to aluminum foil and neon paint, learned
concepts and deepened their knowledge of the world
around them.
Children First, one of our United Way member agencies,
continues to thrive with their dayhome agency and childcare
facility. The Nest, located at 285 Sandpiper Road and
licensed for 58 child care spaces, provides full-time care and
education for children aged six months to six years.
“This child centred art work was our first annual Children’s
Art Show and Auction,” said Ross.
A one-of-a-kind collection of art was featured at the
MacDonald Island Community Art Gallery between
November 11 and December 5 featuring pieces created by
children in care with Children First.
As the process of
creation is more
valuable than the
finished product,
observations and
photographs of the
creative journey were
also included as part of
the exhibit.
Reflecting current research in Early Childhood Education,
Children First subscribes to the Reggio Emilia or “emergent”
philosophy, where the adults are facilitators and the children
explorers.
“Children have the freedom to explore their own creativity
at their own pace,” said Leslie Ross, Executive Director,
Children First.
Partially funded by the Big Spirit Grant Program, this
innovative project was also encouraged by the staff at the
Suncor Community Leisure Centre.
“Teachers no longer use art materials to merely teach
children to illustrate or graphically represent other subjects,
but art itself becomes a tool in the child’s development.”
The results of this form of creative learning were impressive
as the children took a broad array of materials, from sequins
“The exhibition was a great success,” said Ross. “We
are proud of these inherently creative children and the
successful collaboration with the staff at MacDonald Island.”

Taps into the zombie craze to raise funds and enthusiasm
Girls Inc. of Northern Alberta
has a winning formula when
it comes to raising funds for
the Community Campaign
and creating amazing fun.
Runners either paid a registration fee or brought in at least
$150 in pledges.
“This event is so much fun to plan,” said Leigh Grant-Simms,
Program Director. “One of our board members is a huge
Halloween fan. He gets to live out his dream by creating the
zombie apocolypse.”
Their 3rd annual Zombie
Run was held on September
21st. Runners attempted
to “survive” a 5 km course that had zombies strategically
placed along the route trying to capture all three of their
flags. Once a runner lost all three flags they were eliminated,
though they were able to buy replacements along the way.
The 2014 Zombie Run attracted over 120 runners and
featured 50 zombies. It was one of many agency-organized
fundraising events that helped contribute to our most
successful Community Campaign ever.

Strong Communities
“We’re seeing more families moving from our Safe Visitation
to our Safe Exchange program,” said Beaver. “These
programs decrease stress for both caregivers and children.”
One of our agencies focusing on building a stronger
community by building stronger families is The HUB Family
Resource Centre. With a variety of programs and services in
two locations, downtown and Timberlea, The HUB continues
to impact more and more families.
The HUB Family Resource Centre has had great success
expanding into the rural areas of Wood Buffalo. They
have two staff members who make weekly visits to Janvier,
Conklin, Anzac and Fort McKay. The relationships they have
formed have strengthened over time and the program is
thriving.
“This was the busiest year we’ve ever had,” said Chantal
Beaver, Executive Director. “We had 5,049 unique
participants, or an increase of almost one thousand in a
year.”
“We didn’t go into the communities trying to impose
things,” said Beaver. “We went in to listen and learn.
Today, other agencies are using us as a gateway into these
wonderful communities.”
It was also a significant year as they were able to negotiate
a new lease agreement with the owner of their downtown
location.
“We were fearful we were going to have to close
downtown,” said Beaver. “It was a scary time. But we were
able to get a reduction in rent comparable to the rate of five
years ago that has allowed us to stay. “
The HUB is strengthening families every day thanks to the
efforts of their staff of 19. “We have an eclectic group, each
with their own talents and strengths,” said Beaver. “They
have done a great job at practicing mindfulness at the floor
level. It’s made a real difference.”
The two centres offer a series of drop-in programs ranging
from Infant Massage to Fun With Music. They also offer
programs for families in situations where there is a higher risk
of domestic violence.

Providing services (and hope) when it counts
“It was amazing how
quickly they had set up an
emergency shelter at Holy
Trinity,” said McDaniel.
“With no warning and
in an instant I went from
having everything to having
nothing. All of a sudden I
needed the services that this
Community Campaign raises
money for. It happened to
me; it could happen to you.”
Imagine going to bed tonight, secure in the knowledge that
you are enjoying the comforts of a prosperous life, a healthy
oil sands salary, secure job, lots of friends and a bright future.
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night realizing that
your condominium complex was going up in flames, that the
alarm system had failed to work, and that you had seconds
to get out. Imagine that outside it was the middle of winter
and that all you had on was a pair of shorts and a hoodie.
For Lori McDaniel, co-chair of the 2014 Suncor United Way
Campaign, this scenario hits pretty close to home as it is
exactly what happened to her in February 2012.
The emotional connection
Lori with her Suncor United Way Campaign
to those frantic moments
Co-chair Lancaster Lawrence
and the displaced days that
followed was evident as she shared her story to the small
group of us riveted in The Redpoll Centre boardroom.
“There were a bunch of us that barely got out,” she shared
at a workplace campaign chairs meeting.
“I was standing there in the cold with nothing. It wasn’t the
building owners that were there for us, it was United Way
funded agencies. They arrived to help almost immediately.”
“Tell that story,” she said. “Any of us could need the services
provided by any number of the agencies that are reliant on
United Way funding to operate. While we’re in a position to
give, we should do so. That’s why I am so passionate about
being a part of this campaign.”
With no possessions, no wallet, no keys, Lori, along with
hundreds of others, was all of sudden cast into the arms of
emergency services personnel and agencies who dropped
whatever they were doing to help.

From Poverty to Possibility
“At first, the volunteer team that went to do some work
there was somewhat reluctant,” said Tracy Unger, Co-Chair,
Syncrude United Way Campaign. “But after they met Kate,
and she introduced them to the facility, staff and patrons,
there was a significant shift. They understood what kind
of difference they were making and can’t wait to go back.
It turned out to be a great team-building opportunity in
addition to a way of giving back.”
The Salvation Army was one of our agencies featured in the
virtual Seeing Is Believing tour videos that were produced
in 2014. They opened up their doors to the United Way and
the filmmakers from DK Films which resulted in a two and a
half minute vignette that has been seen by thousands.
“I’ve lived here my whole life,” said Michael Mankowski from
DK Films. “I always thought that this was just a thrift store.”
The United Way staff did a rather unique Day of Caring in
the Mat Program just before Christmas. Russell Thomas,
our Director of Communications and Community Impact
used his painting talents to paint a mural of Métis elder
Elsie Yanik. Staff members from The United Way and The
Salvation Army each contributed to the project by scribing
their favourite prayer in their own language. The “Faith,
Hope and Love” mural made quite an impact.
The Salvation Army Community Centre does so much more
as clearly seen in the video. In addition to running a men’s
shelter, they have seven other programs housed in this threelevel facility in the heart of downtown Fort McMurray.
“I would say that the Salvation Army is a gift to Fort
McMurray,” said Floyd Perrier, one of the patrons of the
men’s shelter who is featured in the Seeing is Believing
video. Through the assistance of the staff and the programs
at The Salvation Army Community Centre funded by United
Way, Floyd was able to go back to school, earn his GED, and
give back. Last summer, he volunteered his time to paint the
entire Mat Program space.
“My staff told me that when the patrons came in that night,
they were in awe,” said Kate Penney, Manager. “Several
patrons had tears in the eyes. We want to make them feel
more welcome and that they are important. The changes
we’ve made, including this beautiful painting, are making a
positive difference.”
Our Day of Caring program also factored into generating
understanding about this vital service in our community.

Giving back to their community
Virtual Seeing Is Believing tours create impact
Michael Mankowski, Matt Thomas, and Jonathan Rice grew
up in Fort McMurray. They went off to business school but
soon discovered that they had a mutal love for filmmaking.
Two feature films later, they found themselves back in Fort
McMurray, ready and equipped to meet a strong demand for
their expertise in Wood Buffalo.
They worked with The United Way of Fort McMurray to
produce a series of three Seeing Is Believing videos in the
summer of 2014.
“They were so invested in the process of capturing the
story of our agencies,” said Russell Thomas, Director of
Communications and Community Impact. “Rather than
taking a point-and-shoot approach, they took the time to
go on Seeing Is Believing tours before they picked up their
equipment.”
them to inspire giving. There is no question that they hit the
emotional mark.”
“We were presenting to a large group of engineers on site
and played the Salvation Army video,” said Kiran MalikKhan, Director of Stakeholder Relations. “The number of
people who were visibly moved was profound.”
“It is clear that Michael, Matt and Jonathan had their aha
moment,” said Diane Shannon, Executive Director. “They
were able to successfully translate the impact they personally
experienced to the finished product.”
Mike, Matt and Jon have balanced the demands of
a growing business with a desire to give back to the
community that has given them so much. They have
become valued partners in promoting the “Change Starts
Here” movement in Wood Buffalo.
The cost of
film and video
production and
editing can be
very prohibitive,
especially for
charitable
organizations.
However, with
generous gift
in kind support
from DK Films,
three Seeing Is
Believing videos and an overall Community Campaign video
were delivered on time and on budget.
“These communication tools have really made a difference,”
said Andy Carter, Chair of the 2014 Community Campaign.
“All of a sudden we were able to put these compelling
videos into the hands of our volunteer canvassers and use

Our 2014 Community Campaign
While the bake sales, raffles, silent auctions, special
events and canvassing were going on through September,
October and early November, our region was bracing for
a cold winter and a falling oil price. Despite an economy
that went from a rolling boil to a slow simmer, individuals
and companies went above and beyond to once again
demonstrate their unparalleled generosity and support for
the work of our member agencies.
The 2014 Community Campaign began with great
enthusiasm as our workplace campaign volunteers, board,
community investment committee, agencies and community
leaders flung their red scarves in the air. It was an
appropriate metaphor for a wild and exciting 10 weeks that
produced extraordinary results.
“We saw a renewed effort to communicate the reason for
giving,” said Andy Carter, 2014 Community Campaign Chair.
“Not only did campaign volunteers do a great job telling our
story, they became champions for our member agencies who
create community impact every single day.”
“We are delighted to announce that $8.18 million was raised
by the region in this year’s fundraising effort,” said Carter.
“The generosity of Wood Buffalo has shone through once
again.”
New communication tools went a long way to equipping
passionate volunteers with a new way to inspire participation
in the “Change Starts Here” movement. Seeing Is Believing
videos, a new website and app all contributed to the work
that was not only happening out at site, but in town as well.
“So much credit goes to our workplace campaign teams
and the work they did to focus on impact and the reasons to
give,” said Diane Shannon, Executive Director.
“We are so fortunate for the thousands of volunteers who
take the United Way into their hearts and workplaces and
advocate for those children, families and seniors helped by
our agencies. They are amazing, the true champions of the
United Way Community Campaign.”
“It was great to welcome Fort McMurray Realtors to
our campaign,” said Carter. “They joined many banks,
contracting companies, public sector organizations and
small businesses who embraced the spirit of the Community
Campaign and inspired giving among their peers.”

Community Investment Committee
“While this process can be viewed as onerous, it is meant
to ensure principles of good governance, transparency
and accountability,” said Shannon. “At the same time, we
want the agencies to be successful and we look forward to
working with them through the application phase.”
At the heart of The United Way’s relationship to its member
agencies is the volunteers who serve on the Community
Investment Committee. These men and women who work in
a variety of sectors, volunteer hundreds of hours to guide the
process of how funds raised by the Community Campaign
are allocated.
The relationship between the United Way, the Community
Investment Committee and the applying agencies is an
important one to all concerned. And while this has been an
anxious part of the funding cycle in previous years, efforts
are being made to create a more collaborative, yet diligent,
process.
“This is a comprehensive process,” said Muna Yussuf,
Community Investment Coordinator. “We have a robust
application process that requires a lot of due diligence
on the part of the agencies, and a lot of reading for our
Community Investment Committee volunteers.”
“We are coaching our Community Investment Committee
volunteers to focus on the overall impact of the agencies,”
said Yussuf. “Whether it is a member agency applying
for renewed funding or a new agency wanting to access
funding support, our primary interest is on how people are
being helped. We aspire to have the dynamic between the
Community Investment Committee and the agencies to feel
more like a partnership.”
“These are people who work in all sectors of the
community,” said Diane Shannon, Executive Director. “We
are so appreciative of the work they do to prepare for the
agency interview process and the integrity they demonstrate
in the effective stewarding of donor dollars.”
The committee is split into three teams, each of which is
responsible for a third of the applicants. Each team reads
and thoroughly reviews a binder that is hundreds of pages
long; having a good sense of the funding requests is
essential before the agencies come in for their interview.

Gifts in Kind
A Gift in Kind is a great way for businesses and individuals with unique skills, products and services to
take part in the United Way movement. Their generosity allows us to continue making a difference in the
community. We value and appreciate their unique contributions.

community is reflective of what we experience
time and time again.

songwriting competition was Stu Marchand.

Individual and Family Donors
We are blessed to live in a region where people truly care for one another, as evidenced each year in the
level of giving by families and individuals. Wood Buffalo has truly embraced the “Change Starts Here”
movement and gives at a level that is unmatched (on a per capita basis) in Canada. This generosity and
caring for others is an important part of our story.

Treasurer’s Report
There is increasing external pressure on not-for-profit
organizations to demonstrate accountability and
transparency. Donors and the general public are taking
more interest in the administration activities of social profit
entities in how they manage these so-called “public funds”.
adds additional risk. Expanded use of Social Media (like
via our new UWFM App), increasing levels of donors using
electronic commerce and our high fundraising dependence
on our typically extremely well-run and successful workplace
campaigns adds challenges that must be considered and
appropriately managed. We must consider new risks
with respect to data/information management and data
security. We must consider the impact of lowering oil
prices on the economic stability of our community partners,
and the further impacts felt by the direct staff/contractor
employees and impacts experienced indirectly by the
service organizations. And lastly - and most importantly - we
must consider and be prepared, ready, and deliberate in
supporting any additional requirements of our agencies who
work so effectively in assisting all within our community.
And I think this is a good thing. As a member of the United
Way Board of Directors - we owe it to our donors to show
them that they made a very good choice when they invested
their charitable dollars with the United Way of Fort McMurray
(UWFM).
The Consolidated Financial Statements are enclosed for
the year ended December 31, 2014. The numbers show the
following;
- Revenues increased by $295k or ~4%, setting a new annual
campaign best-ever level.
- Continued strong levels of targeted and responsible
community investment aligned with the United Way’s mission
and principles.
- Administration Expense and Campaign Expense Ratios of
<12% and <7% respectively - consistent with prior years and
per 2014 expectations.
- Our asset base increased by $681k or ~5% primarily due
to higher levels of restricted cash reserves and growth in the
“Tomorrow and Capital” reserve funds.
- The UWFM is financially well-positioned to continue
achieving its strategic goals via expanding community
investment, building capacity of other not-for-profits and in
investing in the development of our community.
The UWFM is ready to meet these challenges. Our
financial strength and operational efficiency are due to the
extraordinary vision of our donors, the tireless commitment
of our volunteers and the unrivaled dedication of our staff.
These results provide the foundation for our successfully
meeting any economic and/or community challenges into
the future.
Now let’s spend some time addressing what annual
financial summaries do not specifically show - let’s discuss
risk management. All this growth and development often

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of United Way of Fort McMurray:
The accompanying condensed financial statements, which comprise the condensed statement of financial
position as at December 31, 2014 and the summary statement of operations for the year then ended, are derived
from the audited financial statements of United Way of Fort McMurray for the year ended December 31, 2014.
We expressed a qualified audit opinion on those financial statements in our report dated February 18, 2015.
The basis for our qualification of our audited financial statements is common with many charitable organizations,
the Organization derives revenue from donations and fundraising, the completeness of which is not susceptible
of satisfactory audit verification. Accordingly, our verification of these revenues was limited to the amounts
recorded in the records of the Organization and we were not able to determine whether any adjustments might
be necessary to campaign contributions and pledges, excess of revenues over expenses, cash flows from
operations, current assets, current liabilities and net assets.
The condensed financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required by Canadian accounting
standards for not-for-profit organizations. Reading the condensed financial statements, therefore, is not a
substitute for reading the audited financial statements of United Way of Fort McMurray.
Management’s Responsibility for the Summary Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of a summary of the audited financial statements on the basis
described in the note to the summary financial statements.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the condensed financial statements based on our procedures,
which were conducted in accordance with Canadian Auditing Standard (CAS) 810, “Engagements to Report on
Summary Financial Statements.”
Opinion
In our opinion, the condensed financial statements derived from the audited financial statements of United Way
of Fort McMurray for the year ended December 31, 2014 are consistent, in all material respects, with those
financial statements, on the basis described in the note to the summary financial statements.
