THANK YOU FOR GIVING
CANADIANS MORE TIME.
It’s been an historic year for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. As we near our 60th
anniversary, we’ve sharpened the focus of our work to give Canadians longer, fuller lives.
After decades of operating as a federation of provincial Foundations, on September 1, 2011,
we united to become one strong, national organization.
You’ll continue to find us at work in communities throughout each province, whether we’re
recruiting teams to ride the Heart&Stroke Big Bike, working with students in schools or
funding research. At the same time, our new structure will help us reach more Canadians,
empowering them with the knowledge and resources to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
As you will read in this report, the Heart and Stroke Foundation is driven by people
like you — our volunteers, donors, sponsors, researchers and survivor ambassadors.
Your support, commitment and passion enable us to increase our investment in
groundbreaking research, lead prevention efforts through innovative programs, and
advocate for healthy change across the country.
Here in Ontario, we accomplished a lot in 2011. Our continued focus on investing in life-saving
research was complemented with innovative fundraising, exemplified by the new Calendar
Lottery. And it was heartening that government of Ontario support allowed us to expand
both our automated external defibrillator and Hypertension Management programs.
It’s all about giving Canadians more time. We know that early onset of heart disease and
stroke is 80% preventable — yet close to 250,000 potential years of life are lost every year
to these diseases.
It’s up to all of us to change this. With your support, we will succeed.

THE ONE
I LOVE.
Step-by-step in the fight against stroke.
• The annual Canadian Stroke Congress, co-hosted by the Foundation, brings together stroke professionals and
researchers from across Canada to share knowledge and advance stroke research and treatment.
• The Canadian Stroke Strategy, co-sponsored by the Foundation, continues to give healthcare providers quick access
to essential information, such as this year’s newly launched Stroke Best Practices at strokebestpractices.ca.
• Consuming less sodium is one way to control high blood pressure — the leading cause of stroke. Now, Canadians get a
helping hand in that task from the Heart&Stroke Health Check Recipe Helper app (at heartandstroke.ca/mobileapps).
• Dr. Norm Campbell of the University of Calgary was named the 2010-2011 HSFC-CIHR Chair in Hypertension
Prevention and Control. The new position is aimed at improving awareness and control of high blood pressure.
HOW Stroke changed tannis.
Tannis Gordon’s life was forever changed when her husband Bill
collapsed in their Winnipeg home just months after he retired. “I knew
it was a stroke — the side of his face was drooping, he was sweating
profusely, he couldn’t move and his speech was slurred,” Tannis says.
Within a few hours, doctors at St. Boniface Hospital treated Bill with
a clot-busting drug that erased the majority of the stroke’s paralyzing effects. But he
remained in hospital for two weeks and had to learn to walk again, slowly regaining
his motor skills with exercises like picking up pennies. Once he was home, the road
back wasn’t easy. As the chief caregiver, Tannis had to take a month off work to oversee his
recovery. And, she says, the trauma lingered even after their routines settled down. “I
never left for work without waking him up and talking to him first. I wanted to make sure
he was OK.” Bill now knows how much support it takes to heal from a stroke: “Without
Tannis, I don’t think I would have accomplished half as much as I did.”
HOW AMAR said thank you.
In 1976, six-year-old Amar Doman saw his father Ted hooked up to a
heart-lung machine in a Vancouver hospital. Ted, who was just 40 at the
time, had suffered a heart attack. Then in 2010, at the age of 74, Ted
had a stroke. Unlike 1976, Amar’s father spent little time in hospital and
his recovery has been remarkable. “Today you wouldn’t know any of
this has happened to him,” says Amar. “He’s exercising and in the office every day.” Amar
credits research funded by the Heart and Stroke Foundation for saving his father’s life.
That’s why he and his wife, Natallie, donated $250,000 to support the Foundation’s work
to eliminate heart disease and stroke.
HOW JILL helps those who care.
Family caregivers play one of the most important roles in the recovery
and rehabilitation of stroke survivors. Dr. Jill Cameron in Ontario,
Dr. Teri Green in Alberta and Dr. Grace Warner in Nova Scotia are
exploring how best to support the different needs of the people
who care for stroke survivors. Until now, caregiver programs have
not addressed the changing needs of caregivers as stroke survivors move through the
different phases of recovery. To address this, Dr. Cameron’s team has developed the
Timing it Right Stroke Family Support Program. The multi-site trial of the support program
in urban and rural hospitals now spans seven cities, with a goal of reaching 300 families.
Thank you

OTHERS.
Advancing women’s heart health.
• The Foundation’s The Heart Truth campaign has helped make Canadian women aware of their #1 killer: heart disease
and stroke. Awareness grew by 12 percentage points among women 35 and older in early 2011.
• A Foundation-funded research study sounds a wake-up call to women under 55, showing that they typically fare
worse than men following a heart attack. These outcomes might be improved by better awareness of risk factors.
• Canadian women can join The Heart Truth community on Facebook at facebook.com/TheHeartTruth.
• A Woman’s Guide to Healthy Eating and Active Living offers tips and ideas from registered dietitians; find it at
healthcheck.org/women.
How BECEL EMPOWERS WOMEN.
Our corporate partners are crucial to helping us fund important research
and promote health. One of our partners, Becel, has been supporting us
for more than 20 years. As the founding sponsor of The Heart Truth™
campaign, Becel has helped the Foundation spread awareness that
the #1 killer of women is heart disease and stroke. With the support of
Becel and our other corporate sponsors, the campaign (thehearttruth.ca) has helped more
women identify their risks and warning signs. It also arms women with tools to manage
their heart health and encourages them to make changes that can help reduce their risk
by as much as 80%. While that figure is encouraging, there is more to be done; only 19% of
Canadian women identify heart disease and stroke as their most serious health concerns.
How simone looks for answers.
Dr. Simone Lemieux at Laval University in Quebec City is exploring how
women’s diets could be modified to improve their heart health. Dr. Lemieux,
who won a 2009-2010 Quebec research award, is studying whether men
and women benefit differently from the Mediterranean diet. Her work
has the potential to improve nutrition advice for both sexes. Meanwhile
Dr. Sherry Grace of the University Health Network in Toronto is looking for ways to get
women more engaged in cardiac rehabilitation, which consists of structured exercises,
education and counselling. Typical programs are offered in hospital to men and women.
However, hospital-based women-only and home-based programs may meet women’s
needs better. Dr. Grace is comparing all three to find out.
How Chantal keEps her promise.
A year ago, Chantal Smyth was a healthy 31-year-old, days away from
the birth of her first child in Coquitlam, BC. However, her next hospital
visit turned tragic as she lost her baby before birth. Overcome with
emotion, Chantal felt a pain in her chest that escalated. She underwent
emergency surgery and was given less than a 20% chance of survival.
Until that crisis, Chantal had no idea she had a congenital heart defect; her intense reaction
damaged the lining of her aorta. Recovering in hospital, she recalls, “I was depressed and
scared. I promised myself that if I survived, I would get involved in cardiovascular projects as
a volunteer.” Making good on that, she contacted the Foundation and now sells fundraising
tickets and speaks at events such as this year’s Canadian Cardiovascular Congress. She also
visits heart surgery patients. “For the first time in my life, I have a sense of purpose — that’s
what the Foundation has given me,” says Chantal.

Building healthier kids from the ground up.
• Foundation-funded researchers are taking aim at the roots of childhood obesity by investigating how kids’
surroundings, including parks and fast food restaurants, affect their physical activity and eating habits.
• The Foundation’s toolkit, Shaping Active, Healthy Communities, offers Canadians ideas for making their cities and
towns healthier places to grow up. Find it at heartandstroke.ca/healthykids under “Healthy in your community.”
• In the 2010-2011 school year, 645,231 Canadian students participated in Heart&Stroke Jump Rope for Heart. Besides
raising funds and awareness, the children got encouragement and guidance to make healthy lifestyle choices.
HOW KIDS HELP KIDS GROW HEALTHY.
Donors come in all shapes and sizes. Nowhere is that more evident than
in the 3,900 schools across the country that involve more than half a
million elementary-age children in Heart&Stroke Jump Rope for Heart.
This year, their efforts raised more than $13 million for research into
childhood obesity and other early-onset risk factors for heart disease
and stroke, including high blood pressure and high cholesterol. More than 26% of
Canadian children are overweight or obese. In Midland, Ont., the students of Bayview
Public School have been jumping in for almost two decades, raising more than $151,000.
Leading the way is school coordinator Ken Irvine, who this year promised to shave his
head if the school reached its $12,000 goal. One successful campaign later, the top
fundraising students took the clippers to Ken, to the delight of the entire student body.
how DANIEL Finds smart choices.
Making children healthier is the goal of several research studies supported
by the Foundation. Families are sometimes so busy with after-school
activities that they don’t have time to eat healthy meals. And recreational
facilities — while they promote activity — don’t always offer healthy
menus. Drs. Daniel Rainham and Sara Kirk at Dalhousie University in
Halifax — working with recreational facilities and government — are investigating the use
of a GPS-enabled smartphone to point families toward healthy food options in their area.
Meanwhile, Dr. Terrence Wade of Brock University in St. Catharines, Ont., is exploring how
the social determinants of health affect children’s blood pressure. Examining students in
grades six to eight, he identified factors associated with high blood pressure, including
anxiety and stress. Based on his findings, he developed a peer-level intervention program
that focuses on problem-solving and coping skills, among other preventive factors.
How Kelsey Pays it forward.
As a baby, Kelsey Burnat had a stroke that caused the right side of her
body to go limp and her right hand to be paralyzed. Thanks to medical
advances in stroke research and treatment, Kelsey immediately began
her recovery and was fortunate to experience no further complications.
Today, Kelsey is a healthy teenager in Jenner, Alta., with few signs of ever
having had a stroke. In fact, Kelsey’s hand became strong enough for her to grip a skipping
rope and inspire her fellow students and teachers by participating in the Heart&Stroke
Jump Rope for Heart campaign throughout her eight years at elementary school. During
that time, Kelsey raised more than $5,000 for the Foundation.
Thank you

me a fresh
START.
Saving more lives THROUGH RESUSCITATION.
• Updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), co-authored by the Foundation, rolled out this year.
Based on input from 356 experts in 29 countries, they simplify this important life-saving technique.
• Thanks to Foundation initiatives, more than 3,000 automated external defibrillators (AEDs) have been placed in
community centres, schools and other public places across Canada.
• The Ontario government, responding to Foundation advocacy, pledged $8 million to place AEDs in public settings
such as high activity schools and First Nations communities.
• Saving more children’s lives is the goal of two Foundation-funded research projects that are investigating ways to
improve pediatric CPR training for healthcare professionals.
WHAT RESUSCITATION MEANs TO PAUL.
Paul Whitelaw learned the hard way that every second he is alive matters.
Earlier this year, the 61-year-old tossed a volleyball in the air and hit a
well-placed serve that scored a point. Seconds later, he collapsed. Paul’s
teammates at the Dorset Recreation Centre in Northern Ontario rushed
to help. When they couldn’t find a pulse, one began cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR), instructing others to call 9-1-1 and look for an automated external
defibrillator (AED). Thanks to the Foundation, there was one. And thanks to the Haliburton
County Public Access Defibrillation (PAD) Program, a player on the court was trained to use
it. “That AED saved my life,” Paul says, adding that he appreciates each day with his wife,
three sons and three grandchildren. “I’m just so glad to be alive.”
HOW LAURIE IMPROVES THE ODDS.
The Foundation invests in resuscitation research aimed at saving as
many lives as possible. Findings from the Resuscitation Outcomes
Consortium, a massive Canada-US collaboration funded in Canada by
the Foundation and the CIHR Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory
Health, have boosted survival rates from cardiac arrest. “Since our
clinical trials began in 2006, the survival rates of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in our
Toronto site have more than quadrupled: from 2% to 8.9%,” says principal investigator
Dr. Laurie Morrison from St. Michael’s Hospital, University of Toronto. Meanwhile, the
Foundation is working with groups in Victoriaville, Que., to develop CPR training materials
and techniques for people who are visually, hearing, mentally or physically impaired.
How partners Save Lives.
Our partners know you don’t have to be a doctor to save a life. That’s
why they have been so generous in helping the Foundation make AEDs
and CPR training more accessible. The Foundation’s goal — to make
AEDs as available as fire extinguishers in public places from Yellowknife
to St. John’s — is being made possible by partners such as the Boston
Pizza Foundation and The Cowan Foundation ($1 million each), Transamerica Life Canada
($200,000), and the first National Hockey League Players’ Association Beard-a-thon
(pictured is the NHL’s Scott Hartnell), which raised more than $190,000. And in response
to Foundation advocacy, the federal government made an electoral commitment for a $10
million plan to fund AEDs and related training in hockey arenas, as a starting point. About
45,000 cardiac arrests occur each year, and currently fewer than 5% of victims survive.
The use of an AED with CPR can increase a person’s chance of survival to up to 75%.

COLLEEN AND BRIAN JOHNSTON
Colleen Johnston knows what determination can do.
She cheered every step of the way as her brother, Kevin
Duffy, fought back from a stroke, slowly recovering his
ability to speak and move independently. Colleen and
her husband Brian realized that many Canadians don’t
experience the same success after a stroke. With determination of their own,
they made a significant donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation Centre
for Stroke Recovery. Now the Kevin Duffy Rehabilitation Scientist Award funds
research into treatments that will speed rehabilitation for stroke survivors.
GERTRUDE AND LEROY RELLINGER
Generosity is part of Gertrude Rellinger’s heritage.
When she was growing up in Kitchener, Ont., her father,
Eugene, a baker, donated bread to local orphanages,
even in hard times. When Eugene suffered a stroke,
there was little help available for patients like him.
Now, thanks to caring donors, the Heart and Stroke Foundation Centre for
Stroke Recovery is finding new ways to treat and rehabilitate stroke survivors. To
honour her father and help other stroke survivors, Mrs. Rellinger, along with her
late husband LeRoy, made a substantial gift to fund stroke research.

Thank you to partners
who share our dream.
The support of our corporate partners is fundamental to the Foundation’s success. They
provide critical funds for our mission to help Canadians live longer, fuller lives. And they
provide so much more: leadership in the business community, commitment to our cause,
alliances with their staff and customers. Together, we are giving Canadians more time.
Multi-year support
The ongoing contributions of these corporate partners demonstrate their generosity and
commitment to helping us create a healthier Canada.
Making a
Difference
Together
A HEALTHY COLLABORATION
To coincide with Heart Month this year, Danone Inc. launched Danacol®
— a drinkable yogurt enriched with plant sterols. Plant sterols can
reduce LDL cholesterol levels by as much as 10%. And Danacol’s debut
kicked off a multi-faceted partnership with the Foundation. Sharing
the belief that nutrition plays an essential role in promoting health and
well-being, Danacol donated 10 cents to the Foundation for every specially marked
product purchased, up to $200,000 a year. Danacol was a supporter of several
Foundation initiatives this year, including the Shop and Save a Life mall tour and our
online healthy recipes section. Danacol also supported the research community, hosting
a reception at the Foundation’s annual Clinical Update, an event that attracts hundreds
of health professionals.
Annual giving
Our heartfelt thanks to these caring and generous corporate partners; their support helps
us give more Canadians longer, fuller lives.

PARTNERS IN PROGRESS
When two committed organizations work together,
expect results. Over five years, the partnership between
the Foundation and Transamerica Life Canada has seen
$650,000 designated toward placement of more than 670
automated external defibrillators (AEDs) across Ontario, resulting in four lives saved.
Research funding has supported advances in heart health and stroke prevention.
And in October 2011, Transamerica Life Canada advised that the court-approved
settlement of a class action will provide the Foundation with more than $2 million
derived from unclaimed equities. (Transamerica Life Canada ensured that policyholders
were notified and paid in full.) President and CEO Doug Brooks said, “We believe
that this is an important charity whose work benefits thousands of Canadians.”

How much of my dollar goes to research and innovation,
and other mission spending?
To get a fair picture of an organization’s real fundraising efficiency, it is important to base
calculations on total revenue. Fundraising revenues alone don’t necessarily tell the whole
story for an organization like the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario, which raises
money in a number of different ways. When you calculate ratios as compared to total
revenue, excluding lottery, our fundraising cost is 43% and administration is 6%, which
means about 51 cents of every dollar raised goes toward mission. Effectiveness is an even
more important measure for a social sector organization. That means delivering superior
performance and making a distinctive impact over a long period relative to resources. By
these measures, we are proud of our accomplishments in helping to improve the lives of
all Ontarians, and we are committed to developing a sustainable framework to continue
delivering on our mission.
The Heart and Stroke Foundation is a member of Imagine Canada. The Imagine Canada code sets the standards
for charitable organizations in managing and reporting their financial affairs. As a member, the Heart and Stroke
Foundation of Ontario must follow Imagine Canada’s ethical and environmentally responsible guidelines as outlined
at heartandstroke.ca.

a) Maximizing our investment in mission
Higher contributions from lottery and fundraising revenue, along with a drawdown of a
portion of our assets in accordance with our strategic plan, allowed us to invest more money
in 2011. The Foundation was able to spend $62.2 million (vs. $61.5 million in 2010) on the
best cardiovascular and cerebrovascular research and to invest in innovative programs that
are making a significant impact on managing risk factors such as high blood pressure, tackling
childhood obesity and saving lives through the placement of AEDs in public spaces.

b) Restrictions – board, donor, government
During the current year, more than $76 million of assets have been restricted. The restrictions
are based on the Foundation’s Board or donors’ intent ($42.6 million and $34 million
respectively), reserving funds to pay for current and future multi-year mission-related
commitments. Research commitments to be paid out in the current fiscal year are reserved
in cash and investments. Donor and government restricted funds also must be reserved as
cash until spent on the designated activity. These donor and government restricted funds,
including lottery proceeds, fund specific initiatives such as research, health education,
automated external defibrillators, and funding for the Heart and Stroke Foundation Centre
for Stroke Recovery. The Foundation conservatively invests restricted funds in order to
produce additional income that is reinvested in mission spending.
