Lesotho: We are pleased to partner again with Malamulele Onward NPC, an organization that focuses on essential physical therapy for children with Cerebral Palsy, and effective training for caregivers. In the past, this project had led to great results, and with your support, we are looking forward to achieving excellent outcomes once again.

Canada: Our Licensed to Learn (L2L) program that provides peer centered tutoring support, has grown to 90 schools. We are also pleased to have launched an indigenous component to our program, which is designed to improve the scholastic performances of aboriginal youth in Toronto schools.

Fort McMurray relief: When forest fires ravaged Fort McMurray, our outstanding supporters planned and held a fundraising Iftar on June 30th that raised an amazing $250,000. These donations will enable IDRF to help uninsured and under-insured people make their homes habitable again.

Palestine, Pakistan and India: These three disparate countries share one crucial problem: lack of clean water. To address this problem, we provide water to schools in Gaza, and build infrastructure, wells and use rainwater harvesting methods to improve the lives of residents, especially women’s lives, in District Tharparkar, Pakistan, and Rajasthan, India.

India, Pakistan, Palestine and Guyana: Residents of these countries lack quality education and health care, severely limiting their ability to build healthy lives for themselves. In Pakistan, we also have a partnership with the well-respected Edhi Foundation through which we are assisting with ambulatory services for rural areas. Your support for all these projects enables us to provide orphans and vulnerable families with life preserving health care.

Together, we will continue to provide timely emergency relief and quality developmental assistance to vulnerable peoples around the world, enabling them to live dignified and purposeful lives.

MESSAGE TO SUPPORTERS

Greetings and As Salaam Alaikum,

On behalf of the IDRF Board, I would like to extend our immense gratitude to you for your support. This past year has seen a record number of humanitarian crises and you have enabled us to respond with diligence and provide crucially needed emergency and developmental aid in various parts of the world, including Canada.

We have a number of projects on the go that we are working on. Here is a snapshot of our major projects over the past year:

Syrian refugees: This humanitarian crisis received an amazing response from our donors and we received one and half million dollars within a few months. Caring donors stepped forward to sponsor refugees to Canada, while we worked closely with our overseas partners in Lebanon and Turkey who are overwhelmed by record numbers of refugees. We provided essential emergency aid in the form of food, warm clothes, blankets and hygiene kits, repaired dilapidated homes and supported quality education projects to increase literacy among Syrian youth.

Syria’s civil war has caused over 250,000 casualties and displaced over 11 million Syrians since it began in 2011. In the midst of such horrific violence, IDRF has worked closely with partners on the ground to provide vital emergency aid, healthcare, and other essential services. This year we raised $1.4 million toward helping Syrian refugees. Below are updates on our current projects addressing the Syrian refugee crisis:

Over 1 million refugees have fled to Lebanon, burdening the country’s economy and ability to provide shelter. As of January 2016, an estimated 5,915 refugees live in the Beddawi and Nahr El Bared refugee camps with virtually no aid, contributing to their status as one of the most marginalized refugee groups in Lebanon.

We arranged for the provision of food kits to over 4,500 Syrian refugee families in Lebanon and established shelter rehabilitation as well as water, sanitation, and hygiene services (WASH) for refugees. To alleviate the effects of this crisis, IDRF partnered with the Welfare Association to provide essential shelter rehabilitations, including weatherproofing and WASH facility installations, to over 510 people in 131 households.

We also worked with Welfare Association to provide refugees with similar shelter rehabilitations, including one shelter rehabilitation project which benefitted 510 individuals in 131 families in North Lebanon.

LEBANONEducation is essential for the next generation of diasporic Syrians, yet conflict has forced Syrian children to abandon their studies. Quality accessible education, combined with effective support systems, is necessary for keeping children in the classroom, and cultivating their potential.

We partnered with Al Salam School to provide free education to 1,200 refugee children in the Turkish border district of Reyhanli. With a particular Syrian focus, the curriculum gives special attention to preparing students for Turkish universities. We are proud to empower Syrian youth to achieve their dreams.

For over 8 years, Gazans have endured horrific living conditions under the confines of a blockade that has choked their local economy and forced the community to depend on external aid to survive. Only 10% of homes destroyed in the conflict have been rebuilt and more than 80% of the population remains dependent on aid due to restrictions on movement of people and goods, including essentials such as fuel and building material, into Gaza. Residents face chronic water and electricity shortages and unemployment remains the highest in the world.

We were on the ground with our local partners facilitating water access, food distribution and education projects in the midst of Gaza’s dire circumstances. So far this year, we distributed warm clothes, blankets, hygiene kits and rechargeable light sets to over 5,000 families and food aid to over 10,000 families. Furthermore, we placed a strong focus on psycho-social programming – involving integrated arts, sports, play and counselling activities – in safe child-only spaces for school children traumatized by war.

PALESTINE

An earthquake measuring 7.5 on the Richter scale struck Afghanistan on October 26, 2015, affecting large parts of northern Pakistan. Nearly 100,000 homes were damaged across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province and over 1,000 more in the Shangla District. With winter beginning in early November, it was important for those impacted by the disaster to receive winter supplies on time.

IDRF partnered with Pak Rural Development Program to provide 100 vulnerable families with winter kits that included 5 quilts, 5 mattresses and 2 tarpaulin sheets. In particular, the tarpaulin sheets addressed the need to shelter livestock, thus preserving the livelihood of families.

Rajasthan, India’s largest geographical state, is home to nearly 60 million people, of which 23 million reside in the Tharparkar Desert, one of the driest regions in the world. To mitigate the severe impact of rampant droughts, IDRF has implemented projects to improve access to safe drinking water which in turn will improve the health of residents in the Jaisalmer district.

INDIA

We established a rainwater harvesting tank, bio-sand filters for water purification, and arid fruit plants for poor families.

In consultation with community members, we helped establish village development committees, comprised of diverse cross sections of the community. These committees enable the self-reliance and empowerment of villagers through communal decision-making. We are excited to see the concrete impact of this work in the lives of vulnerable people in India.

Reliable access to safe drinking water has vastly improved the lives for children in Gaza. Water in this region is often contaminated; therefore unfit for consumption, while consistent access to clean water remains expensive and challenging for Gazans. Working with Sawaed for Relief and Development (SARD), an established partner in Gaza, IDRF provided youth in the Gaza Strip with dependable access to clean potable water secured from its desalination plant, which SARD distributed directly to schools and households throughout the school year. Water was also distributed during the summer months, when schools host children’s summer camps, to ensure year-round access.

As part of IDRF’s Water Campaign, 21,500 students from 20 schools and 20 households in Gaza are currently receiving clean water.

WATER

To mitigate this severe water crisis, IDRF constructed 69 deep hand pumps and 140 shallow hand pumps across 34 villages. Because of this initiative women are no longer forced to walk long distances daily to fetch consumable water. We also constructed 80 latrines in 28 villages that improved the hygienic standards of the community.

In addition to providing water and sanitation facilities, IDRF educated 30 villages on preventative health practices, such as the importance of hand washing before handling food and after bathroom use, and proper waste management techniques.

Women in particular are severely affected by lack of clean water and sanitation in Pakistan. Access to clean water remains an immense challenge, especially to people living in drought affected areas such as Tharparkar District – one of the most arid, water insecure regions in the country. Families often lack sufficient water to drink, bathe, cook, grow crops, feed animals, and do laundry.

Pakistan suffers from some of the highest casualty rates from natural and man-made disasters in the world. Insufficient infrastructure and poverty exacerbate the gap between urban and rural access to high quality healthcare, which results in many preventable deaths.

IDRF partnered with Edhi Foundation to implement a 24 hour emergency ambulance service that operates in rural and urban areas across the country. Edhi is a trusted partner of numerous government agencies and private organizations that permit Edhi ambulances to pick up the sick and injured in the response to emergencies.

To date, we have purchased 150 ambulances. The project will directly benefit 42,000 people in this year and over 200,000 people over the next 5 years. In addition, IDRF partnered with the Childlife Foundation to provide emergency room services for children that cannot afford emergency care. We purchased medicines that will support at least 110,200 kids on an annual basis.

For women living in Tharparkar, Pakistan, giving birth is often a matter of life and death. The region has a high infant mortality rate and few skilled birth attendants. Thousands of women and children die each year from preventable childbirth complications.

LESOTHOBased in Lesotho, Malamulele Onward NPC enables parents to provide essential physical therapy to children living with Cerebral Palsy (CP), helping them have fuller and more dignified lives.

Beyond its work with families, Malamulele Onward NPC works with local hospital partners, such as Madwaleni Hospital, to provide training workshops for the management and treatment of children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). These services have proved to be an invaluable asset to rural hospitals with limited resources and staff to effectively treat patients with this condition.

IDRF has partnered with the Pakistan National Forum on Women’s Health Association to train students in midwifery according to the approved curriculum of the Pakistan Nursing Council in Sindh. This is a model project and its trained midwives will establish birthing stations to provide maternal and child healthcare to their communities.

GUYANA

Through the Orphans and Vulnerable Children Support Initiative, we are currently serving 440 orphaned children in partnership with the Central Islamic Organization of Guyana. Each child receives the support they need to attend school and thrive. IDRF is proud to be working with CIOG to build a better future for vulnerable children in Guyana.

INDIA

In Malekpore, Surat, children in the local community lack access to quality education that will help them break the cycle of poverty and gain essential skills or trades.

Since October 2012, IDRF, in partnership with Anjuman E Talimul Muslimeen (ATM) has operated the “School Support Initiative for Marginalized Children” project in Malekpore, Surat. The Initiative provides both primary and secondary education for students, in addition to free accommodation, food, and clothes. They also provide books, stationary and all necessary educational materials. The project currently focuses on orphaned and children from nearby slums who have limited access to health and education services.

EDUCATION

PALESTINESince 2006, it is estimated that 1.8 million Gazans have experienced traumatic incidents in their lifetimes. To mitigate lasting personal impact, IDRF, in partnership with the A.M.-Qattan Foundation, provides Palestinian children with a positive outlet to express themselves with the Explore, Learn and Enjoy project.

The Explore, Learn and Enjoy project provides a diverse curriculum grounded in arts, sciences, IT, literary and cultural studies to enable students to develop skills and achieve their potential.

Conflict in the Gaza has left its 1.8 million residents with feelings of anxiety and helplessness and a lack of basic services such as health supplies and quality education.

In partnership with the Culture and Free Thought Association (CFTA), Our Children, Our Future aims to improve the quality of education for children growing up in the Gaza through the development of alternative teaching techniques, extracurricular activities and psychological support.

PAKISTANSince more than 50% of Pakistan’s population dwells in rural areas, there is little or no access to specialized resources for deaf children. Only a small number of deaf children attend school and become literate. Even those who eventually attend specialized schools face delays in communication development due to the inability of parents and teachers to help them communicate to their full potential.

IDRF is committed to improving the quality of life for disadvantaged children and youth in Pakistan by strengthening the educational tools and providing innovative training programs, developmental tools and services. We worked with the Family Educational Services Foundation to address deaf educational strategies in Gulistan-i-Jauhar, Karachi. The FESF Deaf Reach School provides an outstanding environment for poor, deaf students and has benefitted thousands, including young girls, through their innovative training programs.

The Deaf Reach Program has several centres in Pakistan; Karachi, Hyderabad, Tando Allahyar, Nawabshah, Sukkur and Lahore. FESF has also developed the first ever Pakistan Sign Language Lexicon, which contains 5,000 words and aims to improve the development and literacy skills of deaf people, educators, and interpreters.

Education is the key to a child’s future success and equal participation in society. Yet, many Canadian children cannot afford additional tools and tuition to supplement their formal education. These children are more likely to struggle in school, and are less likely to pursue post-secondary education or training.

LICENSED TO LEARN (L2L)

Together, IDRF and L2L have provided free, personalized peer tutoring and mentorship programs in 90 schools across the Greater Toronto Area, helping children from predominantly from low income families. L2L has provided more than 17,000 at-risk students with over 310,000 hours of youth engagement since 2002. L2L works primarily in under-resourced areas, where many families cannot afford tutoring or extra-curricular activities. It is a great way for peer mentors to hone their leadership skills, while enabling their peers to receive one-on-one academic support.

In 2014-2015, L2L was highly successful in facilitating effective student learning and peer mentorship. The program received glowing reviews from participants: Carlos, a grade 4 student, said, “I learned from my tutor to never give up, try my best, always believe in myself,” and Fatema, a grade 8 tutor, disclosed, “I will use these skills that I have now gained for the rest of my life!”

This year we introduced our first Indigenous education pilot project. The program has served 28 Indigenous children in 2 schools in Toronto, with Indigenous tutors providing personalized attention to students. The program, still in its early stages, has received great reviews from participants.

FITRAH QURBANIWhen countries face challenges such as droughts, as is the case in both Pakistan and India, or accepting a large number of refugees, as Lebanon has, many residents of these countries lack access to food, especially fresh meat, which is rare and expensive to obtain. To provide vital sustenance for poor people on Eid al-Adha, IDRF implemented Qurbani programs in all three countries.

In Lebanon, nearly 3,000 families have benefited from this year’s Qurbani project, defying our previous estimate by nearly 1,330 more families. This amounts to nearly 6,000 kg of beef for hungry families. Our beneficiaries were very pleased by the abundance of meat. “This meat will be enough for 1 week for me and my family. My children will be so happy during this Eid!” remarked one beneficiary from the host community in Nahr El Bared camp. “This is by far the biggest distribution of meat we have ever seen in Beddawi camp. All Syrians received meat!”, exclaimed another Palestinian refugee from Syria living in the Beddawi camp.

Our work in India was also very successful, with 13,550 poor people receiving vital meat donations for Qurbani. In Pakistan, fresh meat was distributed among needy people in order to provide them with a greatly needed nutritious meal during the important religious holiday of Eid al-Adha. Through the tremendous generosity of our IDRF sponsors, over 3,000 and 1,200 kilos of beef and mutton were prepared for approximately 2,000 risk families of Dadu, Pakistan. As a testament to the continuously generous spirit of our donors, nearly 900 kilos of mutton was provided for Afghan refugee families living in the Sheikhabad Refugee Camp in Manshera, KPK province, Pakistan.

Gazans are facing the worst possible economic conditions in years. The ongoing blockade has devastated the local Gazan economy and triggered a sharp rise in unemployment, lowered purchasing power, increased inflation, massively impacted infrastructure and further reduced the region’s food security.

The Fitrah Project engaged three of the most neglected areas of Gaza during the Holy Month of Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, and an additional five weeks before Eid. Many families in these areas are destitute, and it is difficult for them to purchase even basic necessities to survive. The project enabled these families to meet their daily meal requirements, through the fresh food packages they received, enabling them to attend to their other needs. The parcels included items that were purchased from 209 small scale local farmers in Gaza. We were able to contribute to improve the current state of food security for 3,122 families through a dual approach of purchased food distribution and local agriculture investment in Gaza. In addition, this project engaged 26 women from 3 cooperatives and 48 labourers that aided in the distribution of the food.

We sincerely thank everyone who donated to our Fitrah4Gaza campaign and enabled our overseas partners to help Gazan families enjoy Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr!

Reza Rizvi, Vice- Chair, IDRFBadawwi Camp, Lebanon

The statistics are alarming: a staggering 87 million children under the age of 7 have spent their entire lives in conflict zones. 3.7 million children who are affected by the crisis in Syria are under 5 years old. In addition to this, chronic poverty and trauma, can have devastating impacts on a child’s future development. These statistics were highly palpable as IDRF’s Director of Programs Jessica Ferne and Vice-Chair Reza Rizvi visited Lebanon’s settlement camps earlier this year.

During her visit, Jessica witnessed many symptoms of mental distress, directly caused by exposure to atrocities of war, in young refugee school children. On top of this, a shortage of trained and well-compensated educators adds further unpredictability to their future circumstances. Reza observed refugee children living in overcrowded, dilapidated and highly unsanitary settlement camps. Amidst these volatile conditions, there were no playgrounds and children would play in the streets around garbage dumps and open sewage. Lack of safe space has prompted many caregivers to send their children to work or to keep them at home, which disrupts the mental development and future potential of these children.

Both Jessica and Reza identified a need for trained teachers and essential funding for arts, play therapy, parent-outreach programs and child-friendly safe spaces.

AN ACCOUNT OF

GENEROSITYThe tragic loss of 3 year old Aylan Kurdi, a refugee attempting to move to Canada, mobilized an urgent international movement to resettle Syrian refugees across the globe. Since then, Canada has been able to welcome over 30,000 Syrian refugees. As part of this collective effort, IDRF worked closely with the Afghan Women’s Organization to resettle Syrian families. IDRF is pleased to have the support of many generous donors who have formed sponsorship groups to support Syrian families. This year these groups have enabled eight families, with more anticipated, to make the long journey from Syria to Canada. Our Sponsorship Group ‘One’ has supported the Al-Daher family’s transition to Toronto. “We have been extremely troubled by the impact of the conflict in Syria on millions of innocent civilians. Becoming a sponsor for a Syrian family was a means by which to have a direct impact on those affected by this conflict,” reflects a sponsorship group member. Since arriving in Canada, the Al-Daher family has made great efforts to adapt to Toronto, and are making great progress. “The family has adjusted extremely well. While they miss their home country, with every day that passes they become more comfortable in their new surroundings and in making Canada their new home. The support of other newcomer families has helped tremendously in their transition. In addition to our sponsorship group, these other families are a great support network.” The opportunity to help create a safe and supported future in Canada for a Syrian family has been a highly fulfilling experience for our sponsorship groups. “[It] has made us grateful for what we have in this country. While there have been challenges, we have been blessed with an amazing group of sponsors who each bring certain skills and resources to collectively help in the resettlement of our newcomer family.” Our sponsorships groups strongly encourage others to participate in refugee sponsorship. “Although it takes effort and dedication, being a part of a sponsorship group is a humbling experience that will alter the lives of your sponsored family and has the potential to alter the way you perceive your own life as a Canadian citizen.” This story would not be complete without acknowledging the great efforts of the Afghan Women’s Organization- a Sponsorship Agreement Holder that has worked tirelessly to sponsor and resettle many refugee families into Canada. Finally, all of our sponsorship groups have played a critical role through their generous donations and hard work in resettling Syrian families to Canada and laying the foundation for them to build a brighter future in their new homeland.

STORIES OF OURS

22

PALESTINE: ATTAF BAKIR34 year old Attaf Bakir is a former fisherman whose life changed forever when he lost his son in a bombing campaign in Gaza in 2014. In addition to losing his son, Attaf also lost his only source of income for his family when his fishing boat and equipment were ruined as a result of another bombing that hit the Gaza seaport.

“Life has turned upside-down for me. The past two years were extremely harsh after things seemed to calm down. I can’t return to fishing with my own boat and equipment but I work from time to time helping other fishermen, yet I’m not getting enough income to cover my family’s basic needs.” Attaf says.

He was very relieved when receiving his second week’s fresh food parcel. “This support will help feed my family for the second week of Ramadan. Each week, we are getting food and chicken that stops [us] worrying what we will have for Iftar,” Attaf reflects.

With the generous support of IDRF donors, hundreds of poor families in Gaza received weekly parcels of fresh food, which also stimulated the local economy of farmers and labourers.

LEBANON: ALI ISSA

Ali Issa is an eight year old Palestinian refugee in Lebanon. He lives with his parents and two sisters in a two-room house in El Buss, a refugee camp near Tyre, South Lebanon. Ali Issa suffers from multiple psychological disorders, directly caused or exacerbated by the conflict in Syria. On the surface, he exhibits difficulty communicating, both verbally and non-verbally, with everyone around him including his parents and other children. He also has low self-esteem. Because of his disorders, Ali’s classmates bullied him on a regular basis. He eventually dropped out of school to avoid the constant hostility and its impact on his life.

Ali finally started receiving psychological support through an IDRF supported NGO near his house in early 2016. Psychologists used a variety of resources provided by IDRF's partner, Welfare Association, such as therapeutic toys, to encourage Ali Issa to express his fears and to improve his communication abilities. Over time, Ali Issa started to trust the staff around him and his self-esteem and ability to communicate improved steadily.

Now, Ali Issa and his mother, Fatima, regularly attend group sessions where they socialize with other children with similar psychological issues. Since his treatment began Ali Issa has improved dramatically and he enjoys talking and playing with other children. Ali’s quality of life has improved dramatically with Welfare Association’s assistance. Specialists continue to work with Ali Issa and his family to reintegrate him into school.

PAKISTAN: AZEEMAPoor infrastructure and insufficient emergency transportation cause staggeringly high maternal and child mortality rates in Pakistan’s Sindh province where an estimated 437 deaths occur per 100,000 live births. Sindh has the second highest maternal mortality rate in the country, a problem that requires dire attention from local organizations and the government.

22 year old Azeema has personally witnessed women die during childbirth in her village, Mureed Khan Muraani, in District Tharparkar. Through a joint initiative between Sindh’s provincial government and locally-based NGOs, Azeema was one of 25 local women selected for the Koohi Goth School of Midwifery, run by the Pakistan National Forum on Women’s Health, in Bin Qasim, Karachi. This program, supported by the IDRF Calgary Chapter, intends to produce local health workers that will affect sustainable reductions in mortality in rural Pakistan.

Since joining the program, Azeema has excelled dramatically. Through sheer determination, she learned Urdu in special classes facilitated by the program. She is now proficient in reading and writing Urdu and communicates well with patients. She is one of the top six in her class and is looking forward to practicing her skills and saving women’s lives in her village once she completes the program.

LESOTHO: KABELO

Kabelo suffers from a condition called cerebral palsy (CP), a debilitating illness that affects a child’s ability to move. As a result of CP, Kabelo has cognitive impairment, difficulties with sensory perception and epilepsy. Though he was always a friendly boy, he had a very short attention span and would often get upset. He had difficulty engaging in playtime and would cry in frustration when pushed beyond his limits.

With support from IDRF, he received a two week block of therapy through Malamulele Onward Therapy Centre in June 2016. During this¬ time, Kabelo’s mother, Makabelo, received training on exercises and activities to engage her son.

Kabelo now receives daily therapy at home, following a therapeutic plan devised by Malamulele Onward. He responds well to music, has more freedom of movement, and is more open to engaging in play. Malamulele Onward’s personalized care and attentive treatments have greatly improved Kabelo and his mother’s quality of life in Lesotho.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Directors ofInternational Development and Relief Foundation

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of International Development and Relief Foundation, which comprisethe statement of financial position as at June 30, 2016, the statements of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flowsfor 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 withCanadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations, and for such internal control as management determines isnecessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraudor error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit inaccordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethicalrequirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are freefrom material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of materialmisstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditorconsiders internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order todesign audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on theeffectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policiesused and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation ofthe financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified auditopinion.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

In common with many not-for-profit organizations, the Foundation derives revenue from donations and fundraising activities,the completeness of which is not susceptible to satisfactory audit verification. Accordingly, verification of these revenueswas limited to the amounts recorded in the records of the Foundation. Therefore, we were not able to determine whetherany adjustments might be necessary to donations and fundraising events revenue, excess of revenue over expenses and cashflows from operations for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, current assets as at June 30, 2016 and 2015, and netassets as at July 1 and June 30 for both the 2016 and 2015 years. Our audit opinion on the financial statements for the yearended June 30, 2015 was modified accordingly because of the possible effects of this limitation in scope.

Qualified Opinion

In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, thefinancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of International Development and ReliefFoundation as at June 30, 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordancewith Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations.
