WORKING TODAY TO CREATE A BETTER TOMORROWAnnual Report 2017

Report from the Board ChairIt was another great year at the Eva Rothwell Centre! Through the direction of our five-year strategic plan we saw the on-time launch of two of our Pods – the Education Pod and the Employment & Vocation Pod which are both critical to the success of the Centre and the community we support.

Along with the great work being done by Pathways to Education and through the Larry Paikin Literacy Express, Mohawk City School expanded their partnership with the Centre to include the new Trades Lab located on the lower level. This beautiful new space provides an introduction to various trades, including the popular Electrical and Electronic Circuits program that allows students to learn through the construction of small projects.

The Employment and Vocation Pod is also supported by Mohawk who through their Job Ready Tool Kit prepares community members for the working world. Sessions on resume writing, interview skills relationship building and leadership are all a part of this critical programming.

Launching this Fall is our Wellness Pod, already well underway with the opening of the Foti

Tsafaridis 147 Fitness and Wellness Centre. As well, through the launch of our Essential Skills Pod we’ll be teaching skills that address the gaps amongst community members in activities of daily living to promote self-sufficiency and improve their quality of life. We are excited that we are on schedule with all areas of our Pods and will see the launch of the Youth Empowerment Pod and the Creative Arts Pod in spring of next year as planned.

Our partners and tenants are key to our success – thank you to the Bay City Railway Historical Foundation, Pathways to Education, Mohawk College/City School by Mohawk, McMaster University, Inner City Outreach Ministry, First Unitarian Church of Hamilton, St. Matthew’s House, the Keith Neighbourhood Hub and MAN Management Ltd.

We are also grateful for the generous support we receive through our community partners including the United Way, the Joyce Family Foundation, the Hamilton Community Foundation, ArcelorMittal Dofasco, the City of Hamilton and the Ministry of Health Promotion.

This past spring we introduced a new Advisory Council made up of three of the centre’s closest friends and greatest champions – Larry Paikin, Daryl Sage and Demetrius Tsafaridis. These gentlemen have been there for the Centre since the early days and continue to be dedicated to our community. The board is fortunate to have access to their guidance and advice as needed. We are also excited to announce Mike Farrell and Anne-Marie Hourigan as the newest members of the Advisory Council. Mike is known to many in Hamilton and beyond for his work in fundraising, making his guidance invaluable to the centre as we move to increase our fundraising activity in the coming year. Having been part of the development of ERC’s strategic plan, Anne-Marie, former Eva Rothwell Centre director and most recently vice-chair, will continue to provide her guidance and ideas around the centre’s direction as we move forward with the plan.

I would like to extend a huge thank you to the members of the board who served during the 2017 period (full or partial): Shofali Agarwal, Melanie Booth, Dave Biehler, Geoff Blain, Maxwell Brown, Natalie Dubeau, Julie Farnand, Troy Heath, Laurel Hines, Anne-Marie Hourigan, Don MacVicar and Liane Ormond. We did some really great work together this year and I am excited by the year ahead.

Thank you to our dedicated staff and volunteers at the Centre – the important work you do for the community does not go unnoticed. The Board is extremely proud and grateful for the hard work and spirit you bring to the Centre on a daily basis. You are making a difference in the lives of our community members. As you are aware, we experienced a big change recently with Matt Kelly’s departure. Matt has been a relentless champion for the Keith Community, especially the kids, and the Board is grateful for his work during his nine and a half years at the Centre, particularly his last few years in a leadership role. We wish him well and know that we can always count on him to support the Centre. We are also grateful to have Sam Campanella step up as Interim Executive Director until we have found a successor. Sam has a long history of community service work and we are fortunate to have him at the helm as we transition.

At the Eva Rothwell Centre we are proud to be serving our wonderful community. and believe that our expanding roster of programs and the partners who support us in these ventures will take us to the next level. Ultimately, we want to make the Keith Neighbourhood an even better place to live, learn and raise a child. We believe that our expanding roster of programs, both educational and essential needs, will help us along with our partners take the Centre to the next level!

Financials

Summary The excess of expense over revenue for the year ended June 30, 2017 is $90,070. This represents a slight deterioration over the prior year.

Statement of Financial Position Cash on hand is $147,494 lower than in June 2016. Total assets of the organization now stand at $617,452 against total liabilities of $370,551. Overall, the organization maintains a strong financial position with significant liquidity to fund ongoing operations and investments.

Deferred contributions represents unspent resources externally restricted for specific purposes that were received in the current year or prior year and that were not spent by year-end. Deferred contributions related to capital assets represents externally restricted contributions raised for the completion of the literacy express rail car and for building improvements.

Statement of Operations Overall revenue of $527,235 was 27% higher than the prior year. This is largely attributable to an increase in grants of 64% to $345,987. The organization’s strategy of developing a variety of ‘pods’ has successfully aligned the ERC with several available grants. Donations received were down slightly at $128,395. With-out the generous support of our grantors and donors, essential services such as the breakfast and after-school programs would not be possible. Rental income, which has been identified as an area of potential growth, was up 50% to $41,514.

Expenses increased 46% compared to the prior year reflecting a need for stronger focus on reducing costs while maintaining a high level of service and programming the organization strives to achieve. The increase in expenses was primarily driven by Salaries and Wages which rose by 41% to $372,503. Program Expense more than doubled compared to prior year as a result of preparing for and operating the new Learning Pods. Repairs and Maintenance expense more than doubled compared to prior year largely due to one-time projects such as boiler repair.

The board is continuously focused on ensuring the long-term financial sustainability of the Centre. To that end, some positive changes have been made recently to bring our expenses under control while we continue to provide the essential services for which our community relies upon the Centre.
