BC Children’s Hospital Foundation supports
the people, places and things required to
ensure BC’s kids have access to outstanding
pediatric care. For 25 years, we have worked
with children, families, caregivers and
hundreds of thousands of British Columbians
to give the Hospital, the Child & Family
Research Institute and Sunny Hill Health
Centre for Children the resources they need
to excel. Over the years we have witnessed
much advancement – in treatment, research,
access, technology, attitudes and philosophies –
that has transformed pediatric care.You have
participated in bringing about this change.
With your support we will continue to promote
and effect change for the benefit of BC’s kids.

People are at the heart of what we do: from
the children and families we see, to the
medical professionals who treat them, to the
staff who keep the facilities running and the
volunteers and donors who work with us. We
support the concept and delivery of familycentred care – recognizing the role families
play in children’s care and recovery.We support
initiatives aimed at training and educating
caregivers and building their capabilities.
And we honour the people who give so much
of themselves in so many ways to ensure kids
get the help they need.

Breathing easily is not something five-year-old Katrina
McIvor can take for granted.
She has cystic fibrosis, a
genetic condition that causes,
among other things, her
lungs to become clogged with
mucus. While researchers at
BC Children’s Hospital work
hard to find a cure, Katrina
and her two-year-old sister
Kiarra, who also has cystic
fibrosis, must take medication several times a day and
have physiotherapy regularly
to alleviate their symptoms.
BC Children’s Hospital is responsible for a larger population of children than is any other
hospital in Canada.The Hospital treats over 70,000 children, from infants to adolescents,
each year.
J E E VA N
In the five years since her birth,
Jeevan Basra and her family
have become closely acquainted
with BC Children’s Hospital.
Born with a life-threatening
heart defect, Jeevan was first
admitted when she was just 48
hours old, weak and struggling
for breath. At six months she
underwent heart surgery and a
challenging recovery. Today,
Jeevan still makes regular visits
to Children’s to monitor her
health challenges, likely related
to a genetic condition. In 2006-07
Jeevan served as Children’s
Miracle Network Champion
Child for BC Children’s Hospital
Foundation.

In January 2007, six-year-old
Colton Boechler, and likely
thousands of other kids across
Canada, caught the flu. In
Colton’s case though, the virus
attacked his heart, causing
cardiac arrest.Then his lungs
failed. Colton spent weeks in the
Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at
BC Children’s Hospital, hooked
up to a sophisticated piece of
equipment that did for Colton
what his own heart and lungs
could not. Today, as Colton continues to recover at home, even
doctors who are reluctant to use
the term ‘miracle’ say it’s the
best way to describe his survival.
CHRISTINA
In June 2001 Christina Basi
experienced a strange numbness
in her left hand and then her left
foot. Within minutes, bleeding in
her brain had left the energetic
high school student paralyzed.
Her treatment at Children’s, in
the Emergency Department,
Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
and Neurology ward, saved her
life. Although her plans to study
nursing were stymied by a
relapse – she still experiences
some paralysis and impaired
vision – Christina, now 22,
remained true to her interest in
health care and works for the
Provincial Health Services
Authority, a testament to
willpower and the care provided
at BC Children’s Hospital.
Over 67 per cent of children treated at BC Children’s Hospital come from outside the City
of Vancouver.
BRUCE
Bruce Bryant is a natural
comedian, but the cancer he
fought in his first years of life was
no laughing matter. At the age of
two, Bruce was diagnosed with
an aggressive liver cancer and
tumours on his lungs. After
undergoing chemotherapy
using a new combination
of drugs developed by
researchers at Children’s,
and rounds of surgery to
remove the tumours and 70
per cent of his liver, Bruce
beat the odds. Today, at age
11, Bruce has been cancerfree for nine years.
BC Children’s Hospital sees an average of 610 sick and injured children every day – treating
more than 1,000 kids on its busiest days.
C O LV I N
When two-year-old Colvin Wong
celebrated his second birthday,
and had not yet spoken his first
word, his parents knew something was wrong. In January
2007, doctors at Children’s
confirmed that Colvin had severe
to profound hearing loss in both
ears.Today, Colvin wears hearing
aids and is scheduled to undergo
cochlear implant surgery at
Children’s Hospital shortly. His
doctor is optimistic that Colvin
will soon be better able to hear the
voices of the people who love him.
Hundreds of thousands of children have
received care at BC Children’s Hospital and
Sunny Hill. These buildings have served
British Columbians well, but there is a limit
to their ability to keep pace with the change
that has re-shaped medicine. Today we’re
supporting the expansion of the research
building to facilitate discovery, the renovation
of parts of the Hospital to address near-term
needs, and the establishment of regional
pediatric clinics. We are also looking ahead,
anticipating the healing environment of
tomorrow, and building support to provide for
the next quarter century of pediatric care.

Rosella Jefferson is a 25-year veteran of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at BC Children’s
Hospital. Here, where the nurse-to-patient ratio is one-to-one, health professionals care for the
province’s critically ill children. Rosella works closely with families and staff to ensure continuity
of care and information sharing as her nursing colleagues rotate through 12-hour shifts.

BC Children’s Hospital offers the province’s children an exceptionally high
standard of pediatric care. Yet, because BC is a large province, families who
live outside the Lower Mainland often face long, expensive and inconvenient
journeys to Vancouver to receive care at Children’s Hospital.
In January 2007, the Overwaitea Food Group announced a pledge of $20 million
to Child Health BC, an initiative aimed at ensuring that all of BC’s children
have access to excellent pediatric care in their own communities.
This network of medical professionals and BC’s health authorities and agencies,
is working to enhance or initiate the provision of specialized pediatric care in
regions across the province. This includes supporting the construction or renovation of facilities, equipment purchases, and training and education of health
professionals. Eventually, Child Health BC will have a physical presence in all
of the regional health authorities and a still broader reach through its programs.
In 2006-07, Child Health BC funded four prenatal cardio-respiratory monitors
at Prince George Regional Hospital, facilitated and supported several gastrointestinal clinics for children and youth at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital,
facilitated the development of Emergency Department treatment guidelines
for six common pediatric conditions, and hosted workshops dealing with Down
syndrome, epilepsy and childhood cancer.

RESEARCH
Scientists at the Child & Family Research Institute are dedicated to understanding, preventing and curing diseases that affect children and families. Our
researchers – who come from some of the world’s top centres and universities –
are making discoveries in cancer, diabetes, genetics, infectious diseases, mental
health and nutrition.
The Research Institute has grown dramatically since its inception in 1995.
In the past year alone, our studies of childhood illnesses have increased by
10 per cent. In 2006-07, BC Children’s Hospital Foundation provided more
than $9 million to the Research Institute and its scientists, enabling them to
dedicate more effort to research that benefits children worldwide.
The Foundation continues to rally the community to raise $22.5 million to
support a 10,890-square-metre Research Institute expansion currently underway. Scheduled for completion in late 2007, the expansion will attract and
retain more first-class scientists by providing the space and resources needed
to discover improved treatments and ultimately cures for diseases that affect
children and families.
Dr. David Speert was awarded $3,226,617 from the Canada Foundation for
Innovation for our Centre for Understanding and Preventing Infection in Children,
focusing on global childhood infectious diseases.
Dr.Michael Hayden and Dr.Bruce Verchere discovered that high levels of cholesterol
in the pancreatic beta cells damage the body’s ability to secrete insulin, which is
likely to contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes.This discovery provides
hope for the prevention of diabetes.
In February 2007, the For Children We Care Dinner contributed over $538,000
toward a $15-million Centre for Molecular Medicine & Therapeutics Endowment.

On January 29, 2007 the new Mental Health Building at Children’s Hospital
officially opened its doors. This new facility is improving access to world-class
care for approximately 140,000 children and adolescents with mental health
conditions in BC.
With all of our mental health programs under one roof, we are now able to
expand programs and services, giving kids more dedicated time with caregivers
and an enhanced quality of care. Our research capacity has increased, enabling
us to translate research findings into improved treatments. A dedicated Telepsychiatry room, the Kelty Knowledge Centre, will allow us to provide direct
service to children and families across the province, strengthening partnerships
and teamwork among caregivers in the assessment and rehabilitation of
children and youth with brain and behaviour disorders.
BC Children’s Hospital Foundation raised $6 million toward the construction of
the new Mental Health Building. This goal was reached thanks to the incredible
generosity of the community. Supporters for the new facility included the Kelty
Patrick Dennehy Foundation, Paul and Mary Goh, Auxiliary to BC Children’s
Hospital, Great West Life, Canucks for Kids Fund, Hank Ketcham and Jake
and Judy Kerr. Additional support came from fundraising events in 2006:
The 20th anniversary Crystal Ball raised $1.6 million
The Festival of Trees in Vancouver raised $210,000
The first annual Fishing for Kids tournament raised $475,000

SUNNY HILL CENTRE FOR CHILDREN
BC kids made 9,706 visits to Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children last year
for conditions ranging from accidental injuries and genetic disorders to bone or
spine deformities and behavioural conditions. These children are treated by
some of the best developmental specialists in the world, all of whom are dedicated
to making life better for kids with disabilities and chronic health conditions.
Health care for kids with disabilities has changed dramatically in the 75 years
that Sunny Hill has been caring for children. Today, we can identify health
challenges earlier and begin treatment sooner. Many children now receive
treatment as day patients, or are treated in their home communities, and few
are admitted for long stays.
Sunny Hill’s focus is on ability, rather than disability, and services are geared
toward helping each child reach his or her full potential. This can mean helping
children learn or re-learn to walk or talk, or ensuring they have the right
wheelchair or talking computer to assist with mobility and communication.
In 2006-07, Sunny Hill received $1.35 million in donated funds to enhance care
for children living with conditions that affect their growth and development.
These funds are used to support research, education, equipment, programs,
leadership and the Child Development Evidence Centre.

Alec Black uses a sophisticated motion capture system involving multiple cameras and sensors
to track a child’s movements in the Shriners Gait Lab at Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children.
This system enables BC Children’s Hospital and Sunny Hill staff to determine the course of
treatment for children with mobility challenges and to gauge the success of treatments.
Innovation in medical technology continues to
permit steady improvement in care. Advances
in imaging and diagnostics speed treatment
and healing. New tools enable new techniques
such as image-guided, minimally invasive
surgery. Technology, in the hands of skilled
professionals, is helping children learn to walk
again after suffering debilitating injuries. It’s
enabling them to return home sooner, with
less pain, following treatment. It’s saving lives.
The equipment we provide for our scientists
and medical professionals is more than metal,
wires and microchips; it is hope. It is life.

BC’s Children’s Hospital provides expert care for the province’s most seriously ill or injured
children. Many of the specialized pediatric services at Children’s are not available anywhere
else in the province.
O U R H O S P I T A L F A M I LY
Each year, Hospital employees dedicate time and energy to help the children of
BC. Last year, in addition to their daily commitment to our kids, members of
the Hospital Family made significant financial contributions to our cause.
In 2006, 45 Hospital Family leaders, including physicians, researchers and
executives from BC Children’s Hospital and the Child & Family Research
Institute, contributed a total of $451,500 and made pledges of $739,500 over
the next five years. Demonstrating leadership in workplace philanthropy, each
of these 45 individuals became members of the Children’s Circle of Care with
an annual gift of $10,000 or more to Children’s Hospital. With matching funds,
these leadership gifts amount to more than $900,000.
Hundreds more of our Hospital Family members from Children’s, the Research
Institute and Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children contributed another
$81,895 last year, and made pledges of $245,137 over the next five years.
In several Hospital departments, 100 per cent of employees supported the
Foundation.These include the Safe Start Program, the Division of Developmental
Pediatrics and BC Children’s Hospital Foundation.

When Vancouver businessman and philanthropist Djavad Mowafaghian saw
the cramped quarters where young cancer patients at BC Children’s Hospital
waited for and received treatment, he felt compelled to act.
His gift in 2004 of $6 million to the Hospital is having an impact on an ever
greater number of children, their families and the caregivers who staff the day
clinics in the Djavad Mowafaghian Wing. Where patients and caregivers once
struggled in close and cluttered quarters, there is now light and space.
Renovation of the Oncology/Hematology/Hemophilia Day Clinic was completed
in early 2006. Since then, the Allergy,Asthma Education and Respiratory clinics
have been rebuilt, as have the Pulmonary Function and Exercise Physiology
labs and the Diagnostic Neurophysiology Department. These clinics, along
with others in the Hospital, and the Ambulatory Care and Mental Health
buildings, see over 100,000 patient visits every year.
The final phase of the renovation project, which includes a new lobby, Auxiliary
gift shop and refreshment area, is nearing completion.
Mr. Mowafaghian’s commitment to improving conditions in these areas
reflects his desire to have an immediate impact on the lives of BC’s children.

Worldwide, almost 11 million children under the age of five die every year from
malnutrition, infections, measles or malaria. The vision of the Centre for
International Child Health is to train health-care professionals and improve
child health care in developing countries. Our Centre puts BC Children’s
Hospital in the forefront of global child health leadership, giving us an edge in
recruiting future pediatric leaders to our site.
Since 2004, the Centre for International Child Health has established partnerships in China, Uganda and Ladakh, India. In 2006, three cardiac specialists
and one newborn intensive care specialist from China spent up to a year training
at BC Children’s Hospital.
In September 2006, a team of five neuroscience professionals from Guangzhou
Children’s Hospital in China arrived and participated in a six-month training
program with our neurosciences team to increase their knowledge and skills.
The first phase of the Brighter Smiles oral health program, a partnership with
Uganda’s Makerere University and Mulago Hospital, took place in Uganda in
the summer of 2006. Nearly 600 elementary students in four communities
participated in this program to promote better oral health in children.
In two new initiatives health-care providers from BC Children’s will provide
training in emergency medicine and infectious diseases to caregivers in China.
A rehabilitative training program in Ladakh, India begins in June 2007.

The Excellence in Child Health Fund supports the areas of greatest need at BC
Children’s Hospital, Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children, and the Child &
Family Research Institute. These undesignated donations fund vital research,
staff and family education programs, and the purchase of state-of-the-art
equipment – all essential to maintaining the unique and specialized care that
children require.
Funding priorities are determined by the Hospital, Sunny Hill and Research
Institute each year, and the availability of undesignated funding enables these
three facilities to address urgent needs quickly. The Excellence in Child Health
Fund is critical to our ability to provide optimal medical care and treatment to
BC’s kids.
In 2006-07, BC Children’s Hospital Foundation contributed $14.3 million to
meet the urgent funding needs of the Hospital and Sunny Hill.

CHILDHOOD CANCER PROGRAMS & RESEARCH
Cancer therapies developed in the 1940s and ‘50s were more often based on trial
and error than science. Today, scientists work at the molecular level to develop
medications that destroy cancer cells.
Last year, there were over 7,000 visits to our Oncology Outpatient Clinic and
over 1,000 kids were in follow-up care. Each year, 100 more BC children become
long-term survivors of cancer. Our researchers estimate that there are more
than 5,000 survivors of childhood cancer in BC today.
We conduct an integrated research program within the Hospital and in four
research laboratories. We provide significant leadership in clinical trials in the
Children’s Oncology Group, the Pediatric Bone Marrow and Transplant
Consortium, and the Canadian alliance of pediatric oncology treatment centres.
We completed clinical trials for a new drug – Gleevec – the first of its kind
developed to fight cancer by turning off an enzyme that causes cells to become
cancerous and multiply. Gleevec can be taken orally rather than by injection,
and is now being used to treat some forms of leukemia, the most common form
of childhood cancer.
Our survival and cure rates rank with the best in the world.
We recently recruited Dr. Rod Rassekh, who completed his MA in Health Care
& Epidemiology at UBC as the Michael Cuccione Foundation Fellow.

CARDIAC CARE
Cardiac care for children has changed dramatically since BC Children’s Hospital
first opened. Today, many newborn babies require just one surgery to repair
defects. New catheter techniques are used to dilate vessels and valves and to
close holes and abnormal arteries. And a team approach – involving a cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon – allows the heart to be repaired more easily and
with better outcomes for the child.
Roughly 400 babies are born with heart conditions at our site each year. Our
surgeons performed more than 130 open-heart surgeries on children last year,
most on patients younger than a year old.
Researchers at the Child & Family Research Institute collaborate with
Children’s cardiologists and cardiac surgeons to reduce the risks of pediatric
open-heart surgery, prevent heart disease and improve treatments for children
and infants with cardiac conditions. Our success rates for open-heart surgery on
infants over one month of age and children older than one year are consistently
over 97 per cent – better than the Canadian average.
Our cardiac team is also helping children in China. For the past three years,
cardiac specialists from BC Children’s have made two trips a year to Children’s
Hospital of Fudan University in Shanghai, performing over 50 life-saving
heart surgeries on children and training Chinese medical professionals in
pediatric cardiac care.

Report of the President and Chair
2006-07 was a year of milestones and anniversaries for the
Foundation, as well as BC Children’s Hospital’s 25th year of
operation at its current site and Sunny Hill Health Centre’s 75th
anniversary.
With your support we reached new heights, with record annual
revenue of $91 million in pledges and cash. We received donations
from 82,513 people, over 4,000 more than last year. This reflects
the importance British Columbians attach to the well-being of
our children.
We saw the opening of the Hospital’s new Mental Health Building,
made possible with the support of many donors. We were also
able to announce the completed renovation of several day clinics
in the newly named Djavad Mowafaghian Wing – renovations
that have provided a more comfortable and efficient area for the
children and families who visit these clinics.
27
BC Children’s Hospital has more than 154,000 patient visits each
year to the combined Ambulatory (outpatient) Clinics.
We received a $20-million pledge from the Overwaitea Food
Group for Child Health BC, a network that will improve access to
pediatric care for children across the province. These funds will
support further pediatric training of health professionals; facilitate
consultation between regional caregivers and specialists at
Children’s; and help establish pediatric clinics in BC communities.
During the year, we financed the purchase of an MRI-compatible
incubator – the first of its kind in Canada. This incubator enables
clinical researchers to scan the brains of newborns – including
premature babies who sometimes suffer early brain damage –
with minimal risk and disruption. It enhances our understanding
of early brain development and enables doctors to provide more
information to parents regarding the implications of brain injuries.
The funding that you – our donors – provide BC Children’s
Hospital, Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children, and our Child
& Family Research Institute ensures our children have access to
the facilities and the equipment needed to treat them. Without
these places and things, children and families would endure
greater hardship and would not receive the best care possible.
Ultimately we measure our success in terms of people – often,
but not exclusively, children.
As this annual report goes to print, we are celebrating 22 years of
raising funds for childhood cancer research through the annual
Childrun, our 20th annual Miracle Weekend telethon, our 20th
annual Crystal Ball, our 20th annual Festival of Trees, 19 years

of Chinese-Canadian telethons, 18 years of the Shaw
Multicultural Telethon, 17 years of Jeans Day and Slo-Pitch
events, and 12 consecutive For Children We Care galas.
The success of these events, year after year, and others held in
support of our Foundation, is the result of the participation of
hundreds of thousands of British Columbians – volunteers and
donors who share their time and resources for the sake of BC’s
kids. Many families and children share intimate, emotional and
often painful stories to help others understand the need. Medical
professionals, researchers, administrators and support staff share
our vision and know that beyond the challenges we all face in our
day-to-day work there is a cause worthy of their time and energy.
We owe a debt of gratitude beyond measure to these people.
In this annual report we have described how your contributions
have made a difference, and shared the stories of just a few of the
children you have helped. On behalf of BC Children’s Hospital
Foundation and on behalf of children and families across BC, we
thank you for your support.

Report from Finance Committee
BC Children’s Hospital Foundation ended its fiscal year showing a significant
increase in revenue from previous years. We are pleased to report that the
Foundation’s 2006-07 audited financial statements show consolidated revenues
of over $54.4 million.
These revenues enabled us to provide $37.5 million in funding to BC Children’s
Hospital and Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children, to add $4.4 million to our
endowments and to end the fiscal year with a small unrestricted surplus.
The Finance Committee continues to closely monitor the performance of our
investment fund managers to ensure the Foundation realizes the greatest
possible return on invested funds. In the 2006 calendar year, strong markets
and careful fund management led to a total return on investment of 12.2 per cent,
supporting revenue growth.
The Children’s Hospital Lottery had one of its most successful years, generating
$3.3 million for pediatric medical research conducted at the Child & Family
Research Institute. The 2006 Miracle Weekend, our 19th, contributed in excess
of $13 million to revenue, while major gifts from individual and corporate
supporters contributed $15.8 million. Nearly double the previous year’s total.
30
BC Children’s Hospital coordinates patient care, training, education and
research partnerships with pediatric hospitals globally through the Centre
for International Child Health.
Once again, KPMG, our auditor, delivered an unqualified audit opinion on the
Foundation’s financial statements, supporting our efforts to remain accountable
to our supporters and to maintain the integrity of our operations.
The incredible success of recent years means that our financial goals for the
future will undoubtedly be our most ambitious to date. Working in partnership
with the Provincial Health Services Authority, the provincial government and
care providers throughout the province, we will continue to support the redevelopment of BC Children’s Hospital and enhance child-health programs across
the province.

Not long ago it was quite common for children to spend a night in hospital following relatively
minor procedures. Today, children who stay overnight tend to have more serious medical
conditions, such as cancer, and sometimes spend weeks or even months in rooms such as the
one above in the Oncology inpatient unit.
Every year thousands of British Columbians
find a way to support BC Children’s Hospital,
the Child & Family Research Institute and
Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children. In so
doing, they touch the lives of the children and
families in every corner of this province. For
their support, and yours, we are grateful.
thank you!
