MESSAGE FROM CHAIRPERSON
AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
In this report you will find a summary of the many
community organizations that MCSC has supported.
In a larger sense it is a summary of a large collective
of people volunteering their time to make Manitoba a
healthy and vibrant community for everyone to enjoy
and feel a part of.
Throughout this report, we have chosen to highlight,
in pictures, the important work accomplished by
Manitoba volunteers.
But first there are a few thank you’s and
acknowledgements:
We appreciate the funding provided to MCSC by the
Minister of Housing and Community Development,
Minister responsible for the Voluntary Sector, and the
bingo events provided through Manitoba Lotteries.
We value the effective working relationship we have
with both of these organizations in supporting the
voluntary sector. In this report you will see the many
volunteer organizations that are supported in their
work with this funding.
As Chair of MCSC this past year I am always
impressed and inspired with the insights and
knowledge that our eighteen board members bring
to our grant decisions. Although a very diverse group
with many diverse opinions, we are always able to
come together to make decisions to best support
community groups. Their hearts are in the right
place and from their own experience they know how
much can be accomplished by volunteers’ innovation,
creativity and hard work.
MCSC is fortunate to have a very knowledgeable and
dedicated staff that provide support to the applicant
groups and to our board. We congratulate Catherine
Roberts on 25 years of service to MCSC!
I know I speak on behalf of the whole board of
MCSC when I say we could not be more proud of the
important work that MCSC, in partnership with the
Province of Manitoba, has done for the past 29 years
in supporting the voluntary sector.
In 2012/2013 MCSC’s funding and bingo events:
• Energized Child Care Centres with $269,227
• Empowered Children and Youth with $221,600
• Cultivated Culture/Art/Heritage with $224,000
• Uplifted Family and Community with $614,040
• Invigorated Health with $159,100
• Refreshed Recreation with $421,592
• Enhanced Schools/Education with $384,500
• Enriched Seniors with $137,740
A total of $1,647,599 was granted by MCSC.
Volunteers worked 163 Evening Bingos; 9 Matinee
Bingos; and 186 Early/Late Bingos which earned a
total of $784,200 towards their projects.
Some of the highlights from the year:
At our Annual Meeting in June we welcomed Debbi
Fortier from Letellier, Melanie Kelly from Thompson
and Morgan Whiteway from Winnipeg to the Board.
Arthur Harris from Winnipeg joined the board in
October and Brittany LaForte from Headingley joined
the board in February.
Staff visited several communities over this past year to
meet with volunteers and get a first-hand look at their
projects. Communities visited included:
Portage la Prairie, Brandon, Hamiota, Minnedosa,
Shoal Lake, Neepawa, Elkhorn, Rossburn, Russell,
Thompson, and Winnipeg.

- Big Brothers Big Sisters - Brandon
Big Brothers & Sisters of Brandon would
like to thank MCSC for the grant funds that
were desperately needed these past months
as the organizaiton struggled to make ends
meet. The grant money kept us afloat and we
are grateful. Our agency is still struggling,
but with the help of MCSC we will make it
through to our year end in March.

”
The funds we requested were for operating monies to be used
to support our Outreach Worker and programs associated with
this position. Our project was extremely successful in that we
were able to provide many programs for the residents of our
community. To name just a few we ran - girls and boys clubs
during the summer vacation months, “kids in the kitchen” as
an after school cooking program, “creative families” as a family
arts after school program. Our Outreach Worker offered adult
programs such as Al-Anon, Anger Managment, and Mental
Health Support. I cannot stress enough how valueable this
position has been. We continue to employ this staff and are
seeking out sustainable funding for the position.

“Thank you on behalf of our Physiotherapists and
Occupational Therapists at the Rehabilitation Centre
for Children, for your support of purchasing IPADS,
wireless keyboards for children and youth who live
with special needs and disabilities. Your financial
support allows children - who are often left on the
sidelines to watch peers have fun-take part in special
recreation programs modified just for them, and
enjoy life and increased independence with their
specially adapted equipment.
A fun-loving eight-year-old girl from Winnipeg is a
perfect example of how your financial support has
made a difference in the life of a child. This young
girl lives with Rett Syndrome, a genetic disorder
that affects her speech, mobility and development.
However, because of the generous support of donors
like MCSC, we’ve provided her with many pieces of
equipment, like her new iPad that serves as her voice
and helps her communicate. These items not only
assist her with her daily life, but they also help her
enjoy her childhood, which is all anyone can hope
for a child.
Please accept our sincere thanks for choosing
to support the children who are clients of the
Rehabilitation Centre for Children.”

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Members of
Manitoba Community Services Council Inc.
I have audited the accompanying financial statements of Manitoba Community Services Council Inc., which comprise the statement of financial position as at March 31, 2013 and the statements of changes
in net assets and financial activities for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.
Opinion
In my opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Manitoba Community Services Council Inc. as at March 31, 2013 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations.

MANITOBA COMMUNITY SERVICES COUNCIL INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2013
1. Purpose and objectives
Manitoba Community Services Council Inc. (Council) was incorporated under The Corporations Act of Manitoba on March 13, 1990 without share capital, created for the purpose of distributing bingo events and provincial funds to non-profit community organizations on behalf of the Province of Manitoba.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The financial statements include the following significant accounting policies: a) Statement of cash flows
A statement of cash flows has not been presented since information concerning cash flows is evident from the financial statements presented.
b) Guaranteed investment certificates
Guaranteed investment certificates are carried at cost. Interest earned but unpaid at the date of the statement of financial position is recorded as accrued interest receivable. c) Capital assets
Capital asset acquisitions are recorded in the year of purchase at cost. Amortization is provided for on a straight-line basis at the following rates which will amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives:
Furniture and equipment 20% Computer equipment 20% Computer software 50%

2. Summary of significant accounting policies, cont'd d) Revenue recognition
Funding for programs and grant allocations comes from the Province of Manitoba, Minister of Housing and Community Development. The fiscal period relates to the same fiscal period as the Province and is included in their fiscal budgets. If funding were approved and not received, it would be accrued at the end of the fiscal period. Interest revenue is accrued based on the investment rate of return over the fiscal period. 3. Financial instruments
The Council’s financial instruments consist of cash, guaranteed investment certificates, accrued interest, accounts payable and allocations not yet paid. The Council initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value and subsequently carries all financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost. The Council manages its exposure to the risks associated with financial instruments that have the potential to affect its operating and financial performance in accordance with its Governance Policies. The objective of this policy is to reduce volatility in cash flow and earnings. The Council monitors compliance with risk management policies and reviews risk management policies on an annual basis.
The Council’s investment policy is to invest funds not currently needed for operating purposes at the highest rate obtainable consistent with safety of the principal and their most effective possible utilization in serving the best interest of the general public. Investments must be guaranteed by the federal or provincial governments, a chartered bank or credit union or a CDIC member institution. The duration of the term of the deposit is not to exceed a period of three years.
Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Council is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

7. Commitment
The Council has leased realty pursuant to a lease agreement, until March 31, 2015. Under the terms of the lease, the Council is responsible for base rent and its proportionate share of property taxes and operating costs of the building.
The minimum base rent payment for the next two years is as follows:
2014 $ 13,080
2015 13,080
8. Pension plan
The employees of the organization participate in the Community Agencies’ Retirement Plan, a multi-employer, defined benefit pension plan. The Council's pension contribution and expense for the year was $12,728 (2012 - $11,051).
In accordance with the provisions of the Manitoba Pensions Benefit Act the plan is required to calculate the value of its assets and actuarial liabilities on a going concern valuation, a hypothetical wind-up valuation and a solvency basis.
Following the most recent Actuarial Valuation Report (AVR) as at December 31, 2012, the Plan remains in a solvency deficiency. As a result, the Board of Trustees have elected to apply for the Special Payments Relief Regulation 2011 – solvency relief. This regulation permits the Plan’s solvency deficiencies to be amortized over a 10 year period, rather than the normal 5 year period. It is possible to elect relief only once, provided funding payments are up to date, for the first AVR filed with the Office of the Superintendent – Pension Commission before January 2, 2014.
By electing, the Board of Trustees is hoping to alleviate the current financial strain in contributions by spreading the payments over a longer period of time. The election of the solvency relief will not affect the benefits accrued to the Members of the Plan.
The Province of Manitoba has committed annual on-going funding assistance to the member agencies, and as a result of these commitments, the Trustees of the Plan have committed to preserving the Plan as a defined benefit pension plan.
Based on the proposed employee and employer contribution rates and a 10 year solvency amortization, the proposed contributions should be sufficient to fund the current solvency deficiency without additional payments from the agencies.
9. Bingo earnings
The Council allocates a certain number of bingo events to various organizations that it funds. The funds received from bingos are paid directly by the Manitoba Lotteries Corporations to the above organizations. These funds are not reflected on the statement of financial activities.
