his year, the International Year of
Volunteers, is an ideal time to reflect on
the “3-P” equation — people + passion =
power. That is the strength of the Canadian
Cancer Society. We are fortunate to have
thousands of talented volunteers who
unselfishly give their time and expertise.
Their skills, coupled with a passion for the
Society’s mission, provide an incredible

MISSION
OUR
The Canadian Cancer Society is a national community-based
organization of volunteers, whose mission is the eradication of cancer
and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer.
The Canadian Cancer Society achieves its mission through research,

efforts are supported by volunteers and staff and funds raised in
communities across Canada.

VISION AND VALUES
V I S I O N Creating a world where
no Canadian fears cancer.
VALUES
These serve as guidelines for our conduct and
behaviour as we work towards our vision:
Q u a l i t y Our focus is on the people we
serve—cancer patients, their families, donors
and the public—and we will strive for
excellence through evaluation and continuous
improvement.
C a r i n g We are committed to serving with
empathy and compassion.
I n t e g r i t y We are committed to act in an
ethical, honest manner.
R e s p e c t We believe that all people should
be treated with consideration and dignity.
We cherish diversity.
R e s p o n s i v e n e s s We strive to be
accessible, flexible, transparent, and to
demonstrate a sense of urgency in our resolve
and decision-making.
A c c o u n t a b i l i t y We are committed to
measuring, achieving and reporting results, and to
using donor dollars wisely.
T e a m w o r k We are committed to effective
partnerships between volunteers and staff, and we
seek opportunities to form alliances with others.
We continue to help people with cancer
through our emotional support programs,
including Living with Cancer, Reach to Recovery
and CancerConnection. We are proud to have
been the lead division in the pilot project to roll
out Ontario Division’s CancerConnection program
to other divisions this year. The pilot, which was
very successful, serves as a model for
collaboration to implement best practices and
ensure a consistent, high-quality program across
the country. At time of writing, the British
Columbia, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland
divisions are offering CancerConnection.

We now have staff dedicated to every regional
cancer centre in Ontario, enabling us to provide
greater support to patients and ensure that they
have easy access to Society services.
We continued to support regional cancer centre
capital campaigns with a gift of $500,000 for the
Hamilton Regional Cancer Centre expansion and a
$1 million gift to the new Grand River Regional
Cancer Centre in the Waterloo region. This financial
commitment puts Society dollars back into the
community, supports our volunteer programs and
provides awareness and recognition for the Society in
those facilities.
Embracing diversity
The division hired staff devoted to diversity to
help us better meet the needs of people living
with cancer in Ontario. Three pilot projects are
underway in the Toronto, South Central and
Ontario North East regions to ensure that we
meet our goals to build an internal knowledge
base and sensitivity to the needs of Ontario’s
diverse communities, to increase awareness of
the Society’s key messages with targeted groups
and to develop linkages with diverse groups
across the province.
Conference 2001—
celebration and motivation
In February, 300 volunteers and staff from across
Ontario gathered to learn more about new
programs and share best practices for current
activities. We left with renewed vigour for our
mission and commitment to our business plan
— Reach More, Serve More, Raise More. The
conference was capped off at the banquet when
the Society’s highest honour, the R.M. Taylor
Award and Medal, was bestowed upon Ontario
Division in recognition of its consistently
outstanding contributions to cancer research.
Leveraging technology
We can’t do it without you
Recognizing the role of technology in our
ability to do business, we invested in
improvements to our telecommunications
structure and in the security of our
network. We created a computer
infrastructure for all of our offices across
the province, providing a fast, reliable and
secure connection. This work was critical to
the foundation for Summit, our integrated
database.
Following the evaluation of the Summit
pilot, we decided to develop custom
software with a web-based front end to
better meet our needs. This new software
will be rolled out gradually over the next
year. Having information on donors, clients
and volunteers all in one place will enable
us to meet the needs of our stakeholders
much more effectively.
Late last year the division began
directing phone donations to a call centre.
This centre can be accessed by calling the
information line (1-888-939-3333), which
provides callers with one access point for
reliable information about cancer, our
services and to make donations. Donors can
also make secure donations online through
our website. These new options allow us to
offer our donors better customer service by
accepting donations 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. The website is also a
convenient access point to the Society and
its services. We relaunched the Ontario
Division website (www.ontario.cancer.ca) at
the end of February, showcasing a new look,
new content and improved navigation. One
of the highlights is the unit websites. Each
Society office in Ontario has a mini-website
to communicate about services, volunteers
and community events.
The Canadian Cancer Society would not be
able to offer these services or fund
important cancer research without the help
of our donors, volunteers and staff. Thanks
for helping the Ontario Division raise
record revenues this year for the fight
against cancer.

A personal note from the president
As I complete my term as president, I want
to thank all of the volunteers and staff in
Ontario who showed such passion and
energy over the past few years to move the
division forward. This is an exciting time to
be part of the Canadian Cancer Society and
we should be very proud of our recent
accomplishments. We are contributing more
to research than we ever have in our
history and we continue to
develop and grow innovative
patient programs.
I particularly want to
thank the Board of
Directors for their
support during my tenure

Surpasser nos objectifs financiers
La division a connu un succès financier cette
année en recueillant plus de 63 millions de
dollars. L’événement Relais pour la vie a
continué de croître en Ontario avec 25
événements, permettant de recueillir plus de
3,5 millions de dollars. Des représentants
d’autres divisions sont venus observer nos
événements; le Relais pour la vie deviendra
probablement un événement caractéristique
de la Société au cours des années à venir.
Suite à une étude de marché très positive, le
conseil d’administration a approuvé une loterie
provinciale. Ce billet de loterie se vendant 100 $
offre des prix en argent et des voitures et sera
inclus dans le rapport de l’année prochaine.
Cette initiative pourrait produire d’importantes
sommes pour la cause du cancer.
Les legs s’élèvent à 17,6 millions de dollars,
un niveau record. La campagne résidentielle du
mois d’avril demeure l’occasion idéale de
sensibiliser la population tout en recueillant des
fonds pour la Société canadienne du cancer.
Nous avons effectué une étude approfondie de ce
programme pour s’assurer que nous continuions
à développer ses points forts.
MISSION
NOTRE
La Société canadienne du cancer est un organisme bénévole national, à
caractère communautaire, dont la mission est l'éradication du cancer et
l'amélioration de la qualité de vie des personnes touchées par le cancer.
La Société canadienne du cancer poursuit sa mission à l'aide de programmes de recherche, d'éducation populaire et de ser vices aux personnes touchées par le cancer, ainsi que par les pressions qu'elle exerce à l'égard des politiques gouvernementales en matière de santé. Pour appuyer
ses effor ts, la Société peut compter sur le travail de ses bénévoles et de
son personnel et sur les fonds recueillis dans toutes les régions du Canada.
Suite à notre succès financier, le
conseil d’administration a été en
mesure de réserver des fonds pour
plusieurs projets spéciaux, y compris
une étude sur les besoins des
personnes ayant le cancer,
l’amélioration de la gestion des
bénévoles, le soutien de la Stratégie
canadienne de lutte contre le cancer,
des bourses pour aider à remédier à
la pénurie de professionnels dans le
domaine de l’oncologie et un projet sur
les carcinogènes environnementaux.
Financer la recherche
sur le cancer
Cette année, la Division de l’Ontario a
fourni plus de 27 millions de dollars
à la recherche sur le cancer — une
réalisation incroyable dont on peut
être fier.
Aider les gens à
affronter le cancer
Dans le cadre de notre priorité visant
à aider les personnes vivant avec le
cancer, nous avons augmenté notre
intervention. En plus de notre
engagement dans le domaine de la
lutte contre le tabagisme, nous nous
faisons entendre sur les politiques en
matière de santé relatives à la lutte
contre le cancer. Nous
communiquons régulièrement avec le
ministère de la Santé et des Soins de
longue durée et nous avons instauré
un processus pour s’assurer que nous
recevons les commentaires de nos
bénévoles de première ligne et de
notre personnel sur les problèmes
auxquels doivent faire face les
patients d’aujourd’hui.
Une décision difficile concerne la
réduction des programmes d’aide
financière offerts par la Société. Cela
est en accord avec notre vision. Nous
avons amélioré nos programmes
d’information et d’aiguillage afin de
s’assurer de pouvoir mieux diriger les
gens vers les programmes
communautaires et gouvernementaux
de soutien financier. En travaillant
avec nos partenaires clés au niveau
provincial, nous nous assurons que
les besoins des patients sont
satisfaits. Un fonds pédiatrique est
proposé pour aider les familles
d’enfants qui suivent un traitement
contre le cancer, en offrant une aide
financière pour les gardiennes et
l’hébergement des parents. Ce
programme est actuellement à l’essai
dans cinq hôpitaux spécialisés en
oncologie pédiatrique dans la
province.
En reconnaissance de l’énorme
contribution des chauffeurs
bénévoles envers la qualité de vie des
personnes vivant avec le cancer, la
division a augmenté le taux de
remboursement pour ses chauffeurs
bénévoles. Les bénévoles de la
Société en Ontario parcourent
presque 10 millions de kilomètres
par année, conduisant les gens aller
retour à leurs traitements contre le
cancer. Cette augmentation est
importante pour la croissance du
programme.
Nous continuons à aider les
personnes ayant un cancer grâce à
nos programmes de soutien émotif, y
compris Vivre avec le cancer, Toujours
femme et CancerConnection. Nous
sommes fiers d’avoir été le leader
d’un projet pilote du programme
CancerConnection qui sera offert
dans les autres divisions cette année.

Nous avons maintenant du personnel dans

Nous continuons à appuyer les campagnes de
mobilisation de fonds des centres régionaux de

500 000 $ pour l’agrandissement du Centre
régional de cancérologie de Hamilton et de

régional de cancérologie de Grand River dans la
région de Waterloo. Cet engagement financier
redonne les dollars de la Société à la
communauté, appuie nos programmes de
bénévoles et sensibilise les gens sur la Société
dans ces établissements.
Vers la diversité
La division a embauché du personnel dévoué à
la diversité afin de l’aider à mieux répondre aux
besoins des personnes vivant avec le cancer en
Ontario. Trois projets pilotes sont en cours dans
les régions de Toronto, Sud Centrale et Nord-Est
pour s’assurer que nous atteignons nos objectifs
de développer une base de connaissances
interne et une sensibilité aux besoins des
diverses communautés ontariennes, de mieux
sensibiliser les groupes cibles aux messages clés
de la Société et de développer des liens avec
divers groupes à travers la province.
Conférence 2001 —
célébration et motivation
En février, 300 bénévoles et membres du
personnel de partout en Ontario se sont
rassemblés pour en apprendre davantage sur les
nouveaux programmes et partager les pratiques
exemplaires relatives aux activités actuelles.
Nous sommes repartis avec un regain
d’énergie face à notre mission et à notre
engagement envers notre plan
d’activités — Atteindre plus, servir plus,
recueillir plus. La conférence a été
clôturée par un banquet lors duquel la
Division de l’Ontario a reçu le plus
important prix décerné par la Société, la
Médaille R.M. Taylor, en reconnaissance
de ses contributions remarquables
régulières à la recherche sur le cancer.
Développer la technologie
Reconnaissant le rôle de la technologie
dans notre capacité de fonctionner, nous
avons investi dans nos
télécommunications et dans la sécurité de
notre réseau. Nous avons créé une
infrastructure informatique pour tous nos
bureaux de la province, offrant des
communications rapides, fiables et
sécuritaires. Ce travail était essentiel pour
Summit, notre base de données intégrée.
Suivant l’évaluation du projet pilote
Summit, nous avons décidé de
développer un logiciel personnalisé
accessible sur Internet afin de mieux
répondre à nos besoins. Ce nouveau
logiciel sera introduit graduellement au
cours de la prochaine année. Le fait de
posséder des renseignements sur les
donateurs, les clients et les bénévoles à
un seul endroit nous permettra de
répondre plus efficacement aux besoins
de nos partenaires.
À la fin de l’année dernière, la
division a commencé à aiguiller les dons
par téléphone vers un centre d’appel. Ce
centre est accessible en téléphonant à
notre service d’information
(1-888-939-3333), qui offre un point
d’accès unique pour obtenir des
informations fiables sur le cancer, nos
services ou pour faire un don. De plus, les
donateurs peuvent maintenant faire des
dons en toute sécurité sur notre site Web.
Ces nouveaux choix nous permettent
d’offrir à nos donateurs un meilleur
service en acceptant des dons 24 heures
par jour, sept jours par semaine. Le site
Web est aussi un point d’accès facile
pour la Société et ses services. Nous
avons lancé de nouveau le site de la
Division de l’Ontario à la fin de février
(www.ontario.cancer.ca); ce dernier a
une nouvelle apparence, un nouveau
contenu et une navigation améliorée.
Un des points saillants est les pages des
unités. Chaque bureau de la Société en
Ontario possède un mini site Web pour
informer sur ses services, ses bénévoles
et ses événements communautaires.
Une note personnelle
du président
Arrivant à la fin de mon mandat de
président, j’aimerais remercier tous les
bénévoles et les membres du personnel
en Ontario qui ont démontré tellement
de passion et d’énergie au cours des
quelques dernières années afin de faire
progresser la division. Il s’agit d’une
période excitante pour être associé à la
Société canadienne du cancer et nous
devrions être très fiers de nos
réalisations récentes. Nous contribuons
plus que jamais à la recherche et nous
continuons à développer des
programmes innovateurs pour les
patients. Je désire surtout remercier le
conseil d’administration de son
soutien pendant mon mandat de
président et je souhaite bonne chance
à Brent Chambers, notre nouveau
président.

Ontario Division revenues exceeded $60
million for the first time ever, as we enjoyed
another extremely successful fundraising
year. Special events, direct response and
bequest revenues all achieved record highs,
and campaign and in memoriam revenues
approached last year’s amounts. Special
event revenue in particular increased as a
result of Ontario Division’s 25 Relay For Life
events, which brought in more than $3.5
million. Volunteers and staff should take
great pride in their hard work and efforts in
raising revenues of more than $63 million
this year.
The revenues realized allowed Ontario
Division to continue to be a leader in
funding cancer research with a contribution
to the National Cancer Institute of Canada of
more than $27 million. This contribution,
which included an additional $5.5 million
above our commitment, will help fund the
most promising cancer research projects in
Canada. The financial results indicate that
Ontario Division realized a $1.9 million
increase in our resources this year, allowing
the Board of Directors to fund several
important projects.
Overall disbursements increased on
community services programs, which
includes health promotion and patient
services. Increases included expenditures
associated with a number of key programs
including a focus on tobacco advocacy,
public information material and peer
support, patient transportation for
treatment and continuation of the successful
Smokers’ Helpline program, which provides
information, advice and support with
respect to smoking cessation.
Ontario Division’s financial position
remains strong. We continue to maintain
sufficient resources to fund our
commitments and programs. Our resources
are invested in low-risk, high-grade
financial instruments, such as government
bonds and bankers’ acceptances, ensuring
that funds are available when needed.
Thank you to all the people who
contributed so freely of their time and
money this past year in helping the Ontario
Division of the Canadian Cancer Society
raise record revenues to support cancer
research and community services.
