Significant accounting policies (continued): (c) Revenue recognition: The Society follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions. Restricted contributions are recognized as revenue in the period in which the related expenses are incurred. Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue when received or receivable if the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Contributions restricted for the purchase of capital assets are deferred and amortized into revenue on a basis and rate corresponding with the amortization rate for the related capital asset. (d) Capital assets: Capital assets are recorded at cost. Contributions of capital assets are recorded at fair value at the date of contribution. Amortization is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets, using the following rates: Asset Basis Rate Vehicles Straight line 8 years Furniture and fixtures Declining balance 20% Computer equipment Declining balance 30% When a capital asset no longer has any long-term service potential to the Society, the excess of its net carrying amount over any residual value is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations. (e) Financial instruments: Financial instruments are recorded at fair value on initial recognition. Equity instruments quoted in an active market are subsequently measured at fair value and all changes in the fair value are recognized in operations in the period incurred. All other financial instruments are subsequently recorded at cost or amortized cost, unless management has elected to carry the instruments at fair value. The Society has not elected to carry any such financial instruments at fair value. 6 Page 64 of 818 ### Page 65 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 65 BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS OF VICTORIA CAPITAL REGION Notes to Financial Statements (continued) Year ended June 30, 2024 1. Significant accounting policies (continued): (e) Financial instruments (continued): Transaction costs incurred on the acquisition of financial instruments measured subsequently at fair value are expensed as incurred. All other financial instruments are adjusted by transaction costs incurred on acquisition and financing costs, which are amortized using the straight-line method. Financial assets are assessed for impairment on an annual basis at the end of the fiscal year if there are indicators of impairment. If there is an indicator of impairment, the Society determines if there is a significant adverse change in the expected amount or timing of future cash flows from the financial asset. If there is a significant adverse change in the expected cash flows, the carrying value of the financial asset is reduced to the highest of the present value of the expected cash flows, the amount that could be realized from selling the financial asset or the amount the Society expects to realize by exercising its right to any collateral. If events and circumstances reverse in a future period, an impairment loss will be reversed to the extent of the improvement, not exceeding the initial carrying value. (f) Use of estimates: The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 2. Term deposits: Term deposits are guaranteed investment certificates of $72,511 (2023 - $219,144) bearing interest at 4.75% (2023 - 4.87% and 4.69%) and maturing on April 16, 2025. These term deposits have been assigned as security for the operating line of credit. The Society has an operating line of credit with a credit union with a maximum of $60,000. The operating line of credit bears interest, payable monthly, at a floating rate equal to the B.C. Central Credit Union Basic Rate. The rate as at June 30, 2024 was 6.95% (2023 - 6.95%). As at June 30, 2024, nil (2023 - nil) was drawn on the operating line of credit. 7 Page 65 of 818 ### Page 66 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 66 BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS OF VICTORIA CAPITAL REGION Notes to Financial Statements (continued) Year ended June 30, 2024 3.

Amortization of $582 (2023 - $832) has been recorded in revenue during the year. 6. Internally restricted: The Board of Directors of the Society has restricted $25,000 (2023 - $25,000) as an insurance reserve and $105,000 (2023 - $105,000) as an operating contingency reserve and $33,289 (2023 - $156,040) as a Vision 1000 Reserve. During 2021, the Board of Directors of the Society created a board-restricted "Vision 1000 Reserve Fund" and on March 23, 2021, approved a transfer of $280,000 to this fund: $140,000 was reallocated from the Contingency Reserve Fund and $140,000 was transferred from unrestricted net assets. During the year, $122,751 (2023 - $101,547) was spent from the Vision 1000 reserve fund.

These funds were matched by the Victoria Foundation. The fund market value at June 30, 2024 was $35,588 (2023 - $28,779). There were $1,358 in distributions received from the fund during the year, which were recognized as revenue. (b) Vancouver Foundation: In 1991 the Harry deSwager Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Victoria Bursary Fund was established at the Vancouver Foundation and, in accordance with the provisions of the Vancouver Foundation Act, the Fund is held permanently by the Vancouver Foundation. The market value of the fund at June 30, 2024 was $23,725 (2023 - $22,520). Distributions from the fund are awarded as bursaries. 11 Page 69 of 818 ### Page 70 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 70 BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS OF VICTORIA CAPITAL REGION Notes to Financial Statements (continued) Year ended June 30, 2024 13. Employee and contractor remuneration: The BC Societies Act came into effect on November 28, 2016. The Act has a requirement for the disclosure in the financial statements of the remuneration of directors, employees and contractors for financial statements prepared after November 28, 2016. For employee and contractor remuneration the requirement is to disclose amounts paid to individuals whose remuneration was greater than $75,000.

There were no remuneration payments made to directors during the year. 14. Contingencies: The Society may, from time to time, be involved in legal proceedings, claims, and litigation. It is management's opinion that the aggregate amount of any potential liability is not expected to have a material adverse effect of the Society's financial position or results. 12 Page 70 of 818 ### Page 71 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 71 BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS OF VICTORIA CAPITAL REGION Statement of Operations Schedule 1 Year ended June 30, 2023 Social Operations Enterprise Total Revenue: Social enterprise revenue $ - $ 815,482 $ 815,482 United Way contributions 23,215 - 23,215 Grants and subsidies (note 8) 471,132 49,657 520,789 Fundraising and donations 144,435 76 144,511 Interest and miscellaneous 11,150 174 11,324 Amortization of deferred capital contributions 832 - 832 650,764 865,389 1,516,153 Expenses: Advertising and promotion 7,282 6,208 13,490 Amortization 2,653 2,653 5,306 Building occupancy 81,776 77,194 158,970 Dues 15,162 - 15,162 Fundraising and development 19,636 - 19,636 Office 8,606 4,676 13,282 Professional 20,312 4,509 24,821 Program/Partnerships 16,150 187,270 203,420 Truck operating and rental - 41,439 41,439 Wages and personnel 707,795 404,315 1,112,110 879,372 728,264 1,607,636 Excess (deficiency) of revenue over expenses $ (228,608) $ 137,125 $ (91,483) Page 71 of 818 ### Page 72 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 72 Page 72 of 818 ### Page 73 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 73 Page 73 of 818 ### Page 74 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 74            !" $!% &'()* +,-./-0-1!1)//!

PROGRAM, PROJECT, OR EVENT DESCRIPTION In this section, please take the time to explain your program, organization, project, or event in detail. * 7. Please provide a description of the program, organization, project, or event and why a Grant in Aid from the City of Langford is required. You may wish to include the following information: Who is your target audience? What are the goals and objectives? What is the anticipated outcome? Primary Audience: Kids, Youth, and Young Adults: Focus on engaging children and young people at all skill levels to build confidence, skills, and a love for cycling. With the aim to make cycling accessible, fun, and sustainable for the residents of Langford, aligning with community recreation and health priorities. Programming Goals: Grassroots Participation: Deliver inclusive programs to reduce barriers to cycling, such as equipment access, instruction, and program costs. Skill Development: Provide structured opportunities for skill progression, from beginner to advanced levels, fostering safe riding habits and enjoyment of the sport. Utilization of Jordie Lunn Bike Park: Full activation of this premier facility through HopOn programs, skill clinics, camps, and community events. Promote local access to cycling infrastructure to encourage participation and healthy, active lifestyles. The anticipated outcome of the CBC grant for the City of Langford is to create a vibrant cycling community where kids, youth, and young adults can develop cycling skills in an inclusive and accessible environment. By focusing on grassroots programming and reducing barriers to participation, the initiative aims to foster a lifelong love of cycling, promote active lifestyles, and utilize the Jordie Lunn Bike Park to its full potential. The program is expected to enhance community engagement, improve physical and mental well-being, and support the growth of cycling as both a recreational activity and a pathway to competitive opportunities.

Should your application be awarded less than the requested amount, what are the anticipated impacts? The work plan for the CBC grant project will begin with program planning and community engagement in early 2025, involving outreach to local schools, clubs, and youth organizations to establish partnerships and promote participation. By late winter, the HopOn programming and grassroots cycling initiatives will be finalized, including the development of schedules, instructor training, and logistics for the utilization of the Jordie Lunn Bike Park. Implementation of the programs will start in the winter and spring, with HopOn in-school and after-school sessions, camps, and community events held regularly. Throughout the summer and early fall, these programs will expand to maximize participation, emphasizing skill development and reducing barriers for kids, youth, and young adults. During the 2025, an assessment phase will be conducted to evaluate the program's outcomes, collect participant feedback, and measure community impact. This will be followed by the preparation of a final report detailing the successes, challenges, and future recommendations, ensuring accountability and providing a framework for continued cycling engagement in Langford. We anticipate engaging approximately 250 to 750 participants from Langford over the course of the program. This includes kids, youth, and young adults participating in HopOn in-school and after-school programs, camps, and community events at the Jordie Lunn Bike Park. The specific number may vary depending on outreach success and community interest, but our goal is to maximize participation by leveraging local partnerships and reducing barriers to entry for residents. If the application is awarded less than the requested amount, the anticipated impacts would include a potential reduction in the scope and reach of the program. Specifically, fewer participants may be able to access the HopOn programs, camps, and events due to limited resources for outreach, instructor training, or equipment. There may also be challenges in fully utilizing the Jordie Lunn Bike Park as planned, limiting its role in fostering a vibrant cycling community in Langford. Additionally, the reduced funding could hinder the ability to provide equitable and inclusive programming, as efforts to lower barriers to participation might be scaled back. This would ultimately affect the overall impact and sustainability of the initiative. That being said, CBC is commmitted to building the cycling community at Jordie Lunn with the Langford community, with this grant being a catalyst of faster growth.

This should include all revenue classified as either secured (you have received confirmation of this funding and can count on it) and speculative (applications submitted such as grants, partnerships, etc. that you have not confirmed at this time). 9. Are there any special issues or circumstances that are affecting your revenue or expenses this year? If yes, please explain below: 10. Please outline your attempts to secure additional funding from other sources. Please provide details about funding (if any) that has been secured by other governments at any level (local, provincial, federal): 1. Organizational Shift: Cycling BC has undergone some structural changes, including evolving program strategies and operational adjustments to better serve the community. These changes have required a reallocation of resources and adjustment to staff roles, leading to both short-term disruptions and long-term improvements in operational efficiency. 2. Large Funding Changes: A few key funding sources have been restructured or reduced, which has impacted our planned programming and expansion efforts. However, we are working on securing new funding opportunities and diversifying our revenue streams to mitigate the effects of these changes. 3. Staff Turnover: There has been some turnover in key staff positions, particularly in leadership and program management roles. This has resulted in a need for additional recruitment, training, and onboarding efforts, which have affected the timing and execution of certain initiatives. Despite these challenges, we are focusing on building a resilient team to ensure continuity and success in the long term. These factors have had an impact on our revenue projections and budgeting for this year, but we are adapting by streamlining operations, pursuing new funding avenues, and strengthening our organizational capacity. Cycling BC has been actively seeking additional funding from various sources to support grassroots programming and community engagement initiatives. Some of the key sources include: 1. ViaSport: We have applied for grants through ViaSport, which offers funding opportunities to support sport development programs across British Columbia. However, the funds from ViaSport are often structured with specific criteria, such as prioritizing high-performance or club-based activities. This has sometimes limited the scope of funding for grassroots community programming. 2. CSAI (Canadian Sport for All Initiative): CSAI provides funding for programs that focus on accessibility, inclusion, and community engagement. We have received partial funding through CSAI for initiatives aimed at improving access to cycling for underserved communities. While the funding is valuable, it is often earmarked for specific structural components and has limitations on where and how it can be spent, particularly in relation to community-driven programming. 3. Local and Provincial Government Funding: We have explored local and provincial government grants that support youth development and community wellness programs. However, these funds tend to be highly competitive and specific in their allocation, with many funds intended for infrastructure or high-performance sports, leaving grassroots efforts underfunded or unsupported. Despite these challenges, we continue to seek diverse funding opportunities while working within the constraints of the programs and sources available to us. We are also focused on increasing our partnerships and exploring new avenues for financial support to expand our grassroots programs and reach more youth in the community.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Society as at December 31, 2023, and its results of operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Society in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Society had a deficiency of revenues over expenditures of $ 132,779, and as at December 31, 2023, the Society had a working capital deficit of $ 109,800 and net liabilities of $ 6,132. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Society's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the 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. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Society's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Society or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Society's financial reporting process. Page 108 of 818 ### Page 109 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 109 Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: § Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. § Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Society's internal control. § Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. § Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Society's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Society to cease to continue as a going concern. § Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Nature of operations and going concern Cycling British Columbia (the “Society”) was incorporated on February 27, 1974 under the Society Act (British Columbia) with the purpose of facilitating programs for cycling and cyclists in British Columbia. In March 2017, the Society continued under the Societies Act (British Columbia). The Society is exempt from income taxation under Section 149 of the Income Tax Act (Canada) as long as certain criteria continue to be met. These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes the Society will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. There is significant material uncertainty about the appropriateness of the use of the going concern assumption because during the year ended December 31, 2023, the Society had a deficiency of revenues over expenditures of $ 132,779 (2022 - $94,693), and as at December 31, 2023, the Society had a working capital deficit of $ 109,800 (2022 - working capital of $ 91,176) and net liabilities of $ 6,132 (2022 - net assets of $ 126,647). The Society’s ability to maintain operations is dependent on its ability to generate positive cash flows from operations, and to receive continued contributions from government or other sources. In an effort to address the elevated going concern risk, the Society is taking steps to better monitor operating cash flows and work towards reducing the working capital deficit. This includes changes to the management team, ongoing monitoring of cash flows and monthly forecasts, adjusting costs to align with secured funding, continuing to seek new funding sources, and reducing premise operating costs by moving to a virtual workspace. The Society also has access to a demand loan facility up to $ 150,000, which can be used to meet short-term cash shortfalls. Should the Society be unable to generate positive cash flows from operations, and does not receive sufficient contributions, the Society may not be able to meet its obligations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenditures and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary, should the Society be unable to continue as a going concern. 2. Significant accounting policies Basis of presentation These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for- profit organizations which necessarily involves the use of estimates. The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of significant accounting policies summarized below. Use of estimates 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenue and expenses reported during the year. Significant estimates made by management include allowance for doubtful accounts, amortization and impairment of equipment, assessment of impairment of inventory, and accrued liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Inventory Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost determined using the weighted average cost method. Page 113 of 818 ### Page 114 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 114 Cycling British Columbia Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2023 2. Significant accounting policies - continued Equipment Equipment is carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided over the estimated useful life of each asset using the declining balance method applied at the following annual rates: Artwork - 20% Office and computer equipment - 30% Sports equipment - 30% Vehicles - 30% Website - 100% Impairment of long-lived assets The carrying amount of equipment is written down to its residual value when the equipment no longer has any long-term service potential to the Society. In that event, the amount by which the carrying value of an impaired equipment exceeds its residual value is charged to operations. Revenue recognition The Society follows the deferral method of accounting for sponsorship and other contributions. Sponsorship includes cash contributions. Cash contributions are recognized when receivable if the amount to be received can be estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Contributions revenue includes in-kind contributions of goods and services provided without charge or at a reduced charge. This revenue is recognized when the goods or services are provided and are recognized at the fair value of the goods or property. An equivalent amount is recognized in expenditures for the year. Restricted contributions are deferred and recognized as revenue in the year related expenses are incurred. Restricted contributions include donated equipment which is recorded at fair market value when donated and is deferred and recognized as revenue when related amortization is recorded. Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue when received or receivable if the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Membership fees and other revenues from commercial activities are recognized as revenue when the amounts to be received can be estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Proceeds from gaming grants are recorded as revenue when the related program expenses are incurred. Deferred revenue Deferred revenue consists of unexpended restricted contributions and revenue relating to events occurring after year end. Leases Leases are classified as either capital or operating leases. A lease that transfers substantially all the benefits and risks incidental to the ownership of property is classified as a capital lease. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases wherein rental payments are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease to a rent expense. At the inception of a capital lease, an asset and an obligation is recorded at an amount equal to the lesser of the present value of the minimum lease payments and the property’s fair value at the beginning of such lease. Comparative figures Certain 2022 figures have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current year.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities is $ 27,983 (2022 - $ 12,557) owed to the Government of Canada in respect of payroll remittances. 5. Obligations under capital leases The Society leases computer hardware under two capital leases that expire in the 2024 fiscal year. The following is a schedule of the future minimum lease payments required under both capital leases: $ Fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 2,129 Page 115 of 818 ### Page 116 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 116 Cycling British Columbia Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2023 6. Deferred contributions relating to equipment Deferred contributions relating to equipment are included in deferred revenue and represent restricted equipment contributions. The balance of deferred contributions relating to equipment in the account is as follows: 2023 2022 $ $ Balance, beginning of year 16,197 23,138 Add: Donated equipment 8,500 - Less: Amounts amortized to revenue (5,709) (6,941) Balance, end of year 18,988 16,197 7. Demand loan During the year the Society entered into a revolving demand facility in the amount of $ 150,000. The facility bears interest at the lender’s prime rate plus 0.75% per annum and is secured by the general security agreement and all property of the Society. At December 31, 2023, the Society utilized $ 22,500 (2022 - $ Nil) of this demand loan facility. 8. Remuneration paid to employees and contractors Under the Societies Act (British Columbia) the Society is required to disclose the employees and contractors earning remuneration over $ 75,000 in the fiscal year. For the year ended December 31, 2023 the Society paid remuneration totalling $ 203,500 (2022 - $ 196,040) to two (2022 - two) employees whose total remuneration exceeded $ 75,000 on an individual basis. Total remuneration to these employees consists of compensation and benefits. 9. Financial instruments Financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, demand loan, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, government loan payable and obligations under capital leases. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts, unless otherwise noted. It is management’s opinion that the Society is not exposed to significant interest or currency risk arising from these financial instruments. Credit risk Cash and accounts receivable are exposed to credit risk due to the potential for counterparties to default on their contractual obligations. The maximum potential loss on all financial instruments is equal to the carrying amount of those items. Interest rate risk Obligations under capital leases bear interest at a fixed rate and therefore do not subject the Society to interest rate risk. Demand loan bears interest at a variable rate and therefore is subject to interest rate cash flow risk as fluctuations in the market rates or interest may increase or decrease its fair value.

Government loan payable During the fiscal 2020 year, the Society received a $ 60,000 loan under the Canada Emergency Business Account (“CEBA”) program created by the Government of Canada in response to the CoVID-19 pandemic. The loan is non-interest bearing until December 31, 2023. If the Society repays $ 40,000 of the loan before March 28, 2024, the remaining balance of $ 20,000 will be forgiven. If the loan is not repaid in full March 28, 2024 the remaining balance will be converted to a 2-year loan at 5% annual interest, paid monthly, effective January 1, 2024, with payment in full due on December 31, 2026. Subsequent to year-end, and prior to March 28, 2024, the Society repaid $ 40,000 of the loan and the remaining balance of $ 20,000 was forgiven. 12.

This grant would support the Royal Bay Dry Grad Carnival, an event in it's 9th year, that benefits the graduating students of ÉRBSS and local Westshore businesses. Our students reside in all of Westshore, including Langford, along with their parents who make up a large swath of our 140 volunteers for the event. We hire local entertainers and utilize local businesses for our needs (suppllies, food, keepsakes, and prizes), which supports and creates a healthy community. The RB PAC has been supporting this event since 2017, it was established in the 2nd year after the separation of Belmont High into Royal Bay and Belmont high schools. What made this event unique is that it moved the event to a different night from the Prom, as was the tradition before the split. Local business were targetted for support as well as giving them a platform to advertise in. It allowed a parent volunteer committee to create a larger and more controlled event, supporting the 'dry' theme, providing a safe and fun event for the students. The event itself has games, inflatables, psychic readings, caricature drawings, henna tatoos, a Wii room, giant checkers and jenga, a casino, and a hypnotist show, along with many prizes, which is unique to this school.

The graduating class of Royal Bay High School and future adults of the community. The goal is to provide a memorable, fun-filled, alcohol and drug free event. This event relies heavily on local business donations for prizes, and we require a certain amount of cash to supply the big prizes, as well as, pay for the entertainers, artists, inflatables, and casino. Our grad class this year has jumped from 345 students to almost 500 students, a third larger than the previous year, as such, we are building more carnival games and highering more entertainers, which increases our costs. We have had tremendous support from the community in the past and are ever grateful, but as mentioned above cash donations are always needed and appreciated. The grads will leave happy and fulfilled, spending time with their fellow grads and letting loose in a safe environment, providing lasting memories to carry with them into adulthood. We have heard from many former grads that this event was the highlight of the grad events in their year. Page 122 of 818 ### Page 123 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 123 *Denotes a mandatory field.

FED Urban Agriculture Society has operated the My FED Farm program in Langford across the length of the program from 2020 through 2023. In 2025, the My FED Farm program will return, allowing us to offer garden kits to households and community organizations across Langford. In 2023 alone, the Langford Grant in Aid program helped us to deliver gardens to 35 homes across the municipality, investing in community food security for years to come. The FED Urban Agriculture Society's mission is to address food security by promoting sustainable food systems and enhancing community engagement. We do this by creating garden spaces, delivering educational programs and promoting urban agriculture for the benefit of the public. Food security is a significant issue facing our communities, that FED is taking making innovative strides to address. In 2022, 16.9% of Canadians were food insecure, compared with 12.9% in 2021. Overall, the proportion of individuals in households experiencing food insecurity has increased by 5.3 percentage points from 2018-2022. In BC this problem is exacerbated by high costs of living, with research suggesting that 17% of British Columbians are food insecure. At FED we work to complement the efforts being put into addressing food insecurity in the area of hunger relief by focusing on providing access to food growing materials and resources. By providing garden kits of containers, soil, plants, seeds and educational resources we are able to make a lasting impact on community food security and resilience.

PROGRAM, PROJECT, OR EVENT DESCRIPTION In this section, please take the time to explain your program, organization, project, or event in detail. * 7. Please provide a description of the program, organization, project, or event and why a Grant in Aid from the City of Langford is required. You may wish to include the following information: Who is your target audience? What are the goals and objectives? What is the anticipated outcome? Through the program we provide garden kits to households and community groups that face barriers to food security such as: individuals living with low-income, laid off workers, frontline workers, individuals with disabilities, single parent households and First Nations Communities. Throughout the years of this program's operation, we have focused our efforts on delivering larger gardens to community organizations. By finding a local partner we have found a stronger and more lasting impact from our garden kits. For this reason FED is looking to partner with community organizations in Langford for a portion of our program materials, with a particular focus on working with: Imagine West Shore community Society, Saunders Family Centre, Children's health foundation of Vancouver Island, John Howard Society, The Village Initiative and others to create high impact, long lasting garden projects that support food security in your community. Our goal for this program is to support the residents of Langford to grow their own food to both support their well being and foster community. By partnering with both households and community organizations, our objective is to create a variety of gardening spaces across the municipality at a time when opportunities to grow your own food are ever declining. Through this work we also hope to deepen our connection with the existing community organizations in Langford to foster future program collaboration. To deliver 3 community gardens to local organizations that include a combination of fabric growing containers and wood garden beds. The wooden beds and supporting infrastructure will be built custom to order and donated through our partnership with ReWood, who turn deconstructed lumber into community assets. In addition to these larger installations we will look to identify 10 household recipients for our standard fabric container garden kits.

January/February Submit community, municipal and corporate grants as we work to close our funding gap and confirm our operating budget. This will be done in addition to participant outreach for interested community organizations and households to begin to map and plan the timeline of our garden material deliveries. March/April As we continue participant outreach and grant writing phase, FED will work to identify 3 corporate program sponsors to allow for an expansion of program scope. This would see us identify and convince organizations to engage in a tiered program sponsorship. May/June Through this period we will begin to build the wooden components of the gardens and deliver in our first round of material delivery. This will see the first grouping out household and community gardens being delivered. July Second round of outreach to potential community and household garden recipients, identifying any gaps in our areas of impact. August/September: Second round of garden building and delivery to recipients. October/November: Recipient follow up, impact assessment and wrap up report creation for distribution to funders and sponsors. We expect to engage 75-100 residents of Langford this year, with growing engagement potential across the life of the gardens. We would adjust the scope and size of our program delivery in the municipality with a commitment to still supporting food security in langford.

In addition to this grant, others in surrounding municipalities and provincial grants, FED will work to secure corporate program sponsors. Through a tiered program we will supplement our budget through this avenue of social corporate responsibility. This process has already yielded a $2000 commitment from Big Wheel Burger.

My FED Farm was designed to increase food security for people facing barriers to accessing healthy, fresh, affordable food. By providing recipients with free growing containers, soil, seedlings, seeds and resources, FED is able align this program with the UN Sustainable Development Goal #2 Zero Hunger. The program began as a response to the Pandemic, as the event highlighted the multiple barriers to food security facing so many people. Moreover, this results in people being forced to utilize more affordable but less sustainable and healthy food options. This leads to exacerbated impacts on our food system and health of our communities that can be address by access to fresh, local food. https://www.get-fed.ca/contact Attached the email you will find a wrap up report for this program from 2023 for reference.

The program began as a response to the Pandemic, as the event highlighted the multiple barriers to food security facing so many people.

This leads to exacerbated impacts on our food system and health of our communities that can be address by access to fresh, local food.” QUESTION: 12.

Please attach your most recent financial statements to this application prior to submitting. * 5. What is your organization’s history of providing community benefit to the residents of Langford? * 6. What is your organization’s role or niche in the community? What makes it different from other similar organizations? For the past several years, GOATS has regularly run climbing meet-ups for members of the LGBTQ2SIA+ community. Within our monthly rotation of climbing gyms in town, these meet-ups frequently occur at Boulder House Langford. In September 2024, we also hosted the first annual Dynos and Drag event at Boulder House Langford. This event attracted drag performers from across Canada, as well as over a hundred attendees. As an inclusive all-ages event, it gave an opportunity for many youth to see live drag, something that's rare as most events happen in 19+ spaces. This event attracted climbers from both within the LGBTQ2SIA+ and not, as well as people who had never climbed before. It also brought a drag experience outside of downtown Victoria. As such, it exposed community members to new activities within the realms of sport and arts in Langford. We are a volunteer-led non-profit that seeks to improve inclusivity and engagement in the outdoor and recreation field, specifically rock climbing, for members of the LGBTQ2SIA+ community. Currently, there is no other organization in Greater Victoria fulfilling the same role as GOATS. Creating a sense of community is so important for queer individuals but can be particularly challenging within sporting spaces. This is why we seek to provide spaces where members of the community can come and meaningfully engage with others, and create lasting bonds that can encourage people to engage with physical activity more regularly. Page 196 of 818 ### Page 197 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 197 *Denotes a mandatory field. PROGRAM, PROJECT, OR EVENT DESCRIPTION In this section, please take the time to explain your program, organization, project, or event in detail. * 7. Please provide a description of the program, organization, project, or event and why a Grant in Aid from the City of Langford is required. You may wish to include the following information: Who is your target audience? What are the goals and objectives? What is the anticipated outcome? GOATS advocates and exists for members of the LGBTQ2SIA+ community of all ages who are interested in the sport of rock climbing. The appeal of this year's Dynos and Drag event, however, extended to people from diverse demographics such as the outdoor recreation community, arts community, and non-LGBTQ2SIA+ community. As such, it brought together an intersectional audience in a unique evening of celebration, and we hope it will continue to do this annually. Many studies have shown that members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community do not feel safe in sport, due to social norms and expectations that begin from a young age. By making climbing and outdoor recreation spaces more inviting to members within this group, we are challenging these norms and celebrating people of diverse backgrounds to ensure that no matter who you are, there is a safe space for you to participate in sport. Further, by hosting a major drag event, we are increasing the exposure of an art form grounded in the celebration and questioning of gender to both climbers and non-climbing members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, as well as other folks within the Greater Victoria area. The Grant in Aid allows us to host this major event, thus helping with our goal of increasing our impact and bringing more people together. We would like to continue Dynos and Drag as an annual event at Boulder House Langford. The Grant in Aid would help cover event costs and keep it accessible to Langford residents as well as members of the broader 2SLGBTQ+ community. Page 197 of 818 ### Page 198 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 198 *Denotes a mandatory field. Please outline a work plan and timeline How many attendees/participants from Langford are you expecting? * 8. Should your application be awarded less than the requested amount, what are the anticipated impacts? September 2025 - Estimated event date Summer 2025 - Finalizing performers and event scope Spring 2025 - Discussion with Boulder House Langford about event date October 2024 - Event debrief and discussion with Boulder House Langford about next year's event As this year's event gathered around a hundred attendees, we expect next years to attract a similar or greater number. Dynos and Drag in Langford is GOATS' largest and most costly event of the year, given the cost of performers, so a reduced budget would mean pulling funds intended for operating other events around Greater Victoria, such as the climbing wall at the Pride festival, regular meet-ups, and scholarships for lessons and outdoor access. Alternatively, it could mean attempting to operate Dynos and Drag in a reduced capacity, which might make the event less appealing to attendees and could mean hiring fewer performers, some of whom are Langford residents.

This should include all revenue classified as either secured (you have received confirmation of this funding and can count on it) and speculative (applications submitted such as grants, partnerships, etc. that you have not confirmed at this time). 9. Are there any special issues or circumstances that are affecting your revenue or expenses this year? If yes, please explain below: 10. Please outline your attempts to secure additional funding from other sources. Please provide details about funding (if any) that has been secured by other governments at any level (local, provincial, federal): 2024 was the first year of Dynos and Drag, and operating costs were high because of the initial set-up that was needed (such as building a stage). Future events will be able to run at a reduced cost, and we now also have a firmer grasp of the necessary budget required for running our desired size of event. This is why our 2024 grant request and expenses were higher than our ask and anticipated costs for 2025. GOATS operates mainly on regular fundraising through merchandise and donations at events, though this varies year to year.

Are you looking for volunteers from the community for your event, project, program or organization? YES NO If yes, where can interested parties contact you for more information or to apply? Is there anything else we should know about your event, project, program, organization, or application? The GOATS Board of Directors is connected with SICA, the South Island Climbing Access society, which aims to promote climibng in outdoor spaces on Vancouver Island. As such, it's engaged in regular habitat-resoration and nature-preservation efforts around the CRD. Our Dynos and Drag event in 2024 helped Boulder House Langford build a stage that will be saved and reused at future events in Langford, including those not involving GOATS. GOATS is always happy to include interested members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community in event planning and participation. Interested parties can connect with us through our instagram @goats.climb. We received extremely positive feedback from attendees of 2024's Dynos and Drag event, as well as excitement from people who could not attend but looked forward to future events. Bringing together so many diverse communities is something that needs to happen more. While GOATS is currently only requesting funds for one large event in Langford in 2025, we are also keen to explore how we can continue connect LGBTQ2SIA+ folks to recreation and arts experiences both indoors and eventually outdoors across the CRD.

A Canadian Member of Grant Thornton International Ltd 1 To the members of Habitat for Humanity Victoria Qualified Opinion comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2023, and the statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Habitat for Humanity Victoria as at December 31, 2023, and its results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for- profit organizations. Basis for Qualified Opinion In common with many not-for-profit organizations, the Organization derives revenue from fundraising activities, the completeness of which is not susceptible to satisfactory audit verification. Accordingly, verification of these revenues was limited to the amounts recorded in the records of the Organization. Therefore, we were not able to determine whether any adjustments might be necessary to fundraising revenue, excess of revenues over expenses, and cash flows from operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, current assets as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and net assets as at January 1 and December 31 for both the 2023 and 2022 years. Our audit opinion on the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 was modified accordingly because of the possible effects of this limitation in scope. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Organization in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statement 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 Page 220 of 818 ### Page 221 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 221 Audit | Tax | Advisory © Grant Thornton LLP. A Canadian Member of Grant Thornton International Ltd 2 as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Organization or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. process. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization's internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Organization's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Organization to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Purpose of the Society Habitat for Humanity Victoria (the Society ) is a not-for-profit organization incorporated under the Societies Act of British Columbia operating as a registered charity under the Income Tax Act of Canada, subject to compliance with the rules contained therein. Habitat for Humanity Victoria is part of an international community-based, not-for-profit organization working toward a world where everyone has a safe and decent place to live. Its mission is to help lower income families build strength, stability and independence through affordable homeownership. It achieves this through the mobilization of volunteers, donors and community partners. Homes are built in partnership with families in need, who contribute 500 volunteer hours of labour towards the construction of their homes or other activities to support the charity, and then repay a long-term, affordable mortgage. covenant agreement between HFHC and all Canadian affiliates. This agreement sets the general operating principles for every autonomous affiliate. Currently, HFHC provides affiliates across the country with marketing support, training opportunities and gift in kind coordination. 2. Summary of significant accounting policies Basis of accounting The Society has prepared these financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations (ASNPO). Fund accounting Habitat for Humanity Victoria follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions. The General Fund records the activities of the affiliate operations and its social enterprise, ReStore. The Building Program Fund records the activities relating to the building program and the family services program. These include the revenue from sale of properties and payments received on the mortgages receivable, general expenses associated with holding costs on property and the selection, training and support of eligible families, as well as the fundraising revenue and expenses of specific build projects and those designated for the building program but not tied to a specific build.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Revenue recognition Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue when received or receivable, if the amount can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Restricted contributions are recognized as revenue in the year in which the related expenses are incurred or expenses for property held for resale are recognized. ReStore new and used building materials. ReStore revenue is recognized upon sale of the goods to the customer. Contributed goods and services Parts of the activities of the organization are carried out by volunteers. The value of this contributed time is not reflected in these financial statements. In addition, the organization relies on contributed materials to help complete its projects and for the ReStore. Contributed materials which are eventually sold through the Habitat ReStore are not recorded in the financial statements at the time of donation due to the difficulty in determining the fair value of the contributed materials. Contributed goods and services are recorded when a fair value can be reasonably estimated and when they would otherwise be purchased by the Society. Properties held for resale Properties held for resale including land, building, materials and labour both purchased and donated, are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value except as noted in the above paragraph. Net realizable value is defined as the costs of inputs used to develop the property and make it available for sale. Excess of the proceeds over the carrying value of properties held for resale is recognized as revenue in the year in which title to the property is transferred to the partner families. The cost of properties sold is determined by a formula using the total costs incurred, including recorded donations, and an allocation between units using square footage, if applicable. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Mortgages receivable comparative market analysis completed by a real estate professional or a qualified independent realty appraisal at the time the family moves into their home or as prescribed in an affordable housing covenants on title. In accordance with the financial instruments policy, mortgages are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The imputed interest rates used range from 2.94% to 8.85%. Capital assets Capital assets are recorded at cost. Contributed capital assets are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of contribution. The rates and bases of amortization applied to write off the cost less estimated salvage value of capital assets over their estimated lives are as follows: Building 40 years, straight-line basis Leasehold improvements 5 years, straight-line basis Portables 10 years, straight-line basis Office equipment 3 years, straight-line basis Office furniture 5 years, straight-line basis Security system 5 years, straight-line basis Signage 5 years, straight-line basis Forklift 10 years, straight-line basis Automotive 5 years, straight-line basis ReStore equipment 5 years, straight-line basis Inventory Habitat ReStore inventory, which primarily consists of donated recycled materials and obsolete, damaged or surplus materials from suppliers and manufacturers is recorded at nil. Financial instruments al instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, mortgages receivable, payables and accruals, government remittances and long-term debt. The Society initially measures its financial instruments at fair value. The Society subsequently measures all of its financial instruments at amortized cost, unless management has elected to carry the instruments at fair value. The Society has not elected to carry any such financial instruments at fair value. The homeowners carry a non-interest bearing mortgage on the home. However, in accordance with CPA Handbook Part II Section 3856 Financial Instruments, interest income on mortgages is recognized in the statement of operations over the life of the mortgage using a discount rate determined using the credit risk associated with the mortgages at the time of issuance. Page 229 of 818 ### Page 230 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 230 Habitat for Humanity Victoria Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2023 11 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Government Assistance The Society recognizes government grants when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and that the Society will comply with the conditions of the grant. Government s statement of financial position. The Society recognizes government grants as revenue in the statement of operations in the same period as the expenses for which the grant is intended to compensate. Use of estimates assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include the imputed interest rates used in the amortized cost of mortgage receivables, useful life of tangible capital assets, the collectability of accounts receivable and accrual of accounts payable. 3. In-kind contributions During the year, the Society was the beneficiary of the following significant in-kind contributions. The Society was granted a property tax exemption from the City of Langford and from the District of Saanich for its ReStore locations, and in-kind contributions relating to the eight homes sold in 2023 were recognized in revenue. 4. Properties under development and held for sale During the year, the Society sold eight of the ten homes at Bakerview Place, finished the minor renovations on the Bethune Avenue property and purchased a property on Feltham planned for the next development project. Future homeowners are currently occupying the two remaining homes at Bakerview Place, Cedar Hill X-Road, Bethune Ave and Veyaness properties. Page 230 of 818 ### Page 231 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 231 Habitat for Humanity Victoria Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2023 12 Non-forgivable first and second mortgages bear no interest, are secured by charges on the specific property and are receivable in average monthly instalments of $18,577 (2022: $13,294). Forgivable second mortgages for homes sales prior to 2011 bear no interest and are secured by a charge on the specific property. Receipt is contingent upon the occurrence of certain events. Provided a mortgagor continues to occupy the home as their principle residence for a period of at least twelve years (or 60% of the term of their mortgage), an amount equal to 9% of the original principal amount of the mortgage will be deducted from the amount then outstanding. On each anniversary date thereafter, a further sum of 2% of the original principal will be deducted. Provided a mortgagor continues to occupy the home for the entire term of their first mortgage, the balance of the principal amount will be forgiven once the first mortgage has been fully repaid. The forgivable portion of the second mortgages is not shown on the balance sheet as the likelihood of collection is remote considering the above options. At December 31, 2023 forgivable second mortgages with a face value of $1,345,347 (2022: $1,374,600) are outstanding. In the unlikely event that the forgivable portions are required to be paid, the non- forgivable portion will be recognized as revenue in the period in which the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and ultimate collection is reasonably assured. During the year, there were 8 title transfers (2022: nil) of homes to selected partner families, and accordingly, there were $1,441,916 (2022: nil) added to non-forgivable second mortgages added to mortgages receivable. 5.

Deferred contributions Building program Deferred contributions represent restricted contributions for land and construction costs related to specific build projects taken within the Building Program Fund. These amounts are deferred until the related homes are sold and the construction and land costs are recognized on the statement of revenue and expenditures. Included in deferred contributions and restricted to the construction costs of Bakerview Place and Veyaness are forgivable loans totalling $300,000 (2022: $1,100,000) allocated as $200,000 (2022: $1,000,000) and $100,000 (2022: $100,000) respectively. These loans are from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and disbursed via Habitat for Humanity Canada to its affiliates, of which the Society is one, for the purpose of building homes through its program. As forgivable loans, the amounts received are considered as deferred contributions for accounting purposes as the Society has determined it is more likely than not that the amounts will ultimately be forgiven. In the unlikely case of default by the Society to fulfil its obligations regarding the loans, amounts repayable would bear interest at 5% per annum and be payable on the first day of the month following the month in which such declaration of the loan default is made by Habitat for Humanity Canada. Although the Society has determined it more likely than not that the amounts received will be forgiven, amounts will formally be forgiven over the term of the agreements (each at 20 years). As of December 31, 2023, $6,667 (2022: $1,667) has been forgiven.

Early occupancy payments From the time that future Habitat homeowners occupy their home until the time they purchase it, families are placed under early occupancy agreements. Payments collected less expenses incurred by the Society in relation to the property during this period are applied against the opening mortgage when families purchase their homes. The following payments were collected during 2023 and 2022. During 2023, $272,716 was applied to the purchase of eight homes. 10. Long term debt Page 234 of 818 ### Page 235 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 235 Habitat for Humanity Victoria Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2023 16 11. Line of credit The Society maintains a line of credit with Vancity Savings Credit Union. At year end $0 (2022: $nil) was used. This line of credit bears interest at a rate of prime plus 1.00% and is secured by specific mortgage receivables. 12. Investment in capital assets 13. Related party transactions During the year, the Society made the following payments to Habitat for Humanity Canada (HFHC), an affiliated organization: These expenses are in the normal course of business and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties. The amounts do not include flow through donations and grants paid through HFHC. Balance receivable from HFHC at year end included in accounts receivable is $21,197 (2022: $59,570) and balance payable to HFHC at year end included in accounts payable is $18,636 (2022: $1,366). Page 235 of 818 ### Page 236 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 236 Habitat for Humanity Victoria Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2023 17 14. Risk management Credit risk The Society is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-payment of mortgages receivable from their partner families or from non-collection of other accounts receivable. The Society believes that this credit risk is minimized due to charges held on the related properties. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk arises from changes in market interest rates that may affect the fair value or mitigated its exposure to interest rate changes by holding fixed rate debt. Liquidity risk meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Society is, therefore, exposed to liquidity risk with respect to its payables and accruals, government remittances, demand bank loans, and long term debt. The assessment of these risks has not changed from prior years. 15. Allocation of expenses It is the practice of the Society to allocate salaries, wages and benefits of a number of the staff between Habitat Operations, the ReStore and the Build Program. This allocation is based on the proportion of time dedicated to each of the programs, as summarized below: Page 236 of 818 ### Page 237 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 237 Habitat for Humanity Victoria Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2023 18 16. Commitments Pursuant to its affiliate covenant with HFHC, the Society pays an affiliation fee consisting of $12,500 per vote (determined by number of homes built per year) plus 20% on all nationally procured cash gifts or build gifts in kind, 15% of nationally procured gifts in kind for the ReStore and 4% of gross ReStore sales (2.5% in the initial year of a new ReStore). In addition, the Society contributes a minimum tithe of $2,500 per family served per year for international work. 17. Contingency As part of a provincial requirement to warranty new homes, the Society is required, for a period of 10 years from the date of issuance of an occupancy permit, to repurchase new homes it has constructed from Habitat homeowners who decide to sell their home. In addition, the Society may have other obligatory buy-back restrictions placed on the homes it sells to Habitat homeowners through Affordable Housing Covenants registered on the title of these properties. At December 31, 2023, the total amount that would be due for all impacted properties to be repurchased concurrently was $2,585,808 (2022: $1,047,593). During 2023 there were no (2022: one) homes repurchased from partner families. 18. British Columbia Societies Act The Society transitioned to the British Columbia Societies Act on May 30, 2017. Included in the Act is a requirement to disclose the remuneration paid to all directors, and certain employees and contractors who are paid at least $75,000 annually. During the year, the Society did not pay their directors, nor did it have any contractors paid in excess of $75,000. The Society paid $485,464 in remuneration to four persons who are employees, whose remuneration, during the applicable period, was at least $75,000.

We are requesting a modest amount this year of $3,000 to help offset these costs, which would allow us to continue to provide a high-caliber youth sports league. Last year we requested $10,000 and gratefully received $6000. Our association’s mandate is to include all youth in our catchment area; to teach the skills and the rules of lacrosse. We pride ourselves in bringing local youth together; fostering the love for Canada’s National Summer sport (the fastest game on two feet), promoting the benefits of physical activity, helping them make friends and teaching life-long teamwork skills. We are an inclusive association and respect all aspects of diversity. We are currently making great efforts to grow the game of female only box and field lacrosse too, in 2024 training 5 new coaches and 6 referees for the female specific rules (costs to our association was $2600). We have also seen a significant gain in registrations for female teams as well. Last year we had 14 players, this year we had 38. That’s 171% increase this year! We have many passionate volunteers that lead try lacrosse for free events for female teams, and we hope to increase the frequency of these events to expose our reach to as many girls in the Westshore possible. I have included our finances table as an attachment, please note that the majority of funds left in our account are allocated to paying for the remainder of field rental time at Westshore Parks and referee payments until the end of the field lacrosse season end of February 2025, as well as floor rental fees at Eagle Ridge Dry Floor arena for box lacrosse player assessments and try lacrosse for free events January- March 2025. We feel that the City of Langford would also benefit from the community goodwill generated by your kind donation to our association. We have a very active website and social media pages, as well as digital newsletters that are distributed to all SD 62 schools. We would be very grateful for any donation and would thank the City of Langford on these platforms. We believe that supporting the Juan de Fuca Lacrosse Association aligns with the City of Langford's commitment to promoting healthy and active lifestyles for its residents, particularly the youth. Lacrosse not only provides physical activity but also instills important life skills such as teamwork, leadership, and discipline.

What is your organization’s role or niche in the community? What makes it different from other similar organizations? The Juan de Fuca Performing Arts Centre Society (PACS) is a volunteer organisation that is working to build a community-oriented arts and culture centre for the west shore. This is a project that will provide benefits to residents throughout the west shore (and beyond). It will provide services and opportunities for all age groups and for people of diverse abilities. As well as bringing joy to community members— whether as performers, learners, or audiences—the arts are essential for our mental health and wellbeing. Further, the arts are proven to provide significant economic benefit to the hosts community. (In Canada, the economic benefits from the arts are ten times higher than for sports.) For 2024, we hosted a booth at the Langford Food Truck and Music Festival, speaking to more than 100 participants and learning about the space needs of several Langford-based organisations that came to speak to us. We are the only organization in the West Shore working to build community-oriented arts and culture spaces for local arts groups, artists and audiences. We are a West Shore-wide group, supported by a collaborative Intermunicipal Committee with one member of council from each of the six west shore municipalities. Councillor Harder is Langford’s representative on this committee. Page 274 of 818 ### Page 275 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 275 *Denotes a mandatory field.

Please provide a description of the program, organization, project, or event and why a Grant in Aid from the City of Langford is required. You may wish to include the following information: Who is your target audience? What are the goals and objectives? What is the anticipated outcome? PACS will bring regional arts groups together for a one-day workshop in April 2025. We are currently reaching out to arts groups throughout the West Shore and beyond to the Greater Victoria community. This is an opportunity to seek out the groups (“core users”) who will be interested in using the west shore arts and culture centre on a regular/frequent basis. There are more than 30 such groups on the west shore. We are also identifying the groups based elsewhere in the region who are interested in spaces at the centre. All of these groups will be invited to attend the workshop, as well as some key community leaders. At this stage, we are anticipating about 60-80 attendees. The objectives of the workshop are: • To build commitment and shared purpose re the creation of a West Shore Arts and Culture Centre • To identify the arts and other groups who want to be active participants in the design and implementation of the centre • To engage diverse arts and culture groups in the planning of the centre • To ‘ground-truth’ the spaces identified in the 2022 Feasibility Study, ensuring that we are planning for spaces that meet community needs • To create building sketches that provides future users and potential funders with a strong sense of what is planned The day-long event will include inspirational presentations. Alex Sarian, a recognized authority on the civic role of arts institutions, President/CEO of the Calgary Arts Commons, and author of the Audacity of Relevance, has already agreed to present at the workshop. Through workshop sessions, participants will be invited to provide feedback on the proposed building program (Feasibility Study), and input on preferred buildings designs. The workshop sessions will be supported by an architectural firm. Outcomes of the workshop will be: • Confirmation (or adjustment as necessary) of the building program identified in the Feasibility Study, ensuring that we will be building for community needs • Indicative sketches of the proposed centre that can be used for promotion and fundraising • Additional support from the arts community for the creation of this centre Page 275 of 818 ### Page 276 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 276 *Denotes a mandatory field.

What is your organization’s role or niche in the community? What makes it different from other similar organizations? The Juan de Fuca Royals Summer Swim Club is a non-profit society that has been providing training and competition opportunities for residents of the Westshore since 1993. We strive to develop swimmers’ technical skills in all strokes including freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly in a fun and friendly aquatic environment. Our members range from as young as 5 years old to 18 and span all skill levels. It is our goal that these skills will provide immediate as well as life-long benefits that go well beyond the lanes of the pool including: • Water safety – Swimmers will have increased confidence and competency to navigate the many surrounding pools, lakes and oceans • Lifetime fitness – Many people who take part in competitive swimming as children go on to continue swimming for competition or fitness as adults, whether it be on their own, with a Master’s club, or taking part in competitions such as triathlons • Improved health – Studies show that exercising and socializing with teammates leads to lower At this time, the Langford population is one of the fastest in the country and Langford attracts families with children who need extra-curricular opportunities. It is very difficult to get into swim lessons in the Westshore and, in particular, in Langford. The club provides additional opportunities to those who are interested in swimming for fitness and learning water safety, which is important considering the many lakes and oceans nearby. In addition, the Juan de Fuca Royals Swim Club is the only competitive swim club in the Langford (Westshore) area. There is no other entity in the area the provides youth with the above-noted opportunities. Page 288 of 818 ### Page 289 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 289 *Denotes a mandatory field. PROGRAM, PROJECT, OR EVENT DESCRIPTION In this section, please take the time to explain your program, organization, project, or event in detail. * 7. Please provide a description of the program, organization, project, or event and why a Grant in Aid from the City of Langford is required. You may wish to include the following information: Who is your target audience? What are the goals and objectives? What is the anticipated outcome? It is our goal to expand the opportunities for the youth of Langford to improve water safety, create fitness and health habits and to teach life-long skills such as setting and achieving goals. To do this we need funds to increase lane space and ensure coaching availability. Our secondary goal is to create a robust junior coach program that will allow the “senior” swimmers to develop their own coaching skills and earn volunteer work experience. This will help prepare youth for their entry into the workforce and provide meaningful features to their college or university applications. The club currently covers all fees for athletes to participate in swim meets. Since the club started covering these fees, we have seen a great increase in participation in swim meets, frequency of practice attendance, and overall registration numbers. Last year the club paid $12,400 in meet fees. If we were to receive a grant to cover the cost of the meet fees (or a portion thereof) that would help us continue to expand opportunities to youth in Langford while keeping the cost to participate affordable. Page 289 of 818 ### Page 290 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 290 *Denotes a mandatory field. Please outline a work plan and timeline How many attendees/participants from Langford are you expecting? * 8. Should your application be awarded less than the requested amount, what are the anticipated impacts? The Club participates in nine swim meets from May/June to August each year. The meets are held almost every weekend. Meet fees are due and payable by the end of the meet and depend on how many athletes register and the number of events for which they register. The club currently has 93 swimmers registered. If we do not receive the complete funding, our ability to expand registration spaces overall would be impacted. In addition, the club will likely need to raise fees to cover the cost of all expenses, making participation a barrier for some families.

What is your organization’s role or niche in the community? What makes it diƯerent from other similar organizations? ANSWER: “At this time, the Langford population is one of the fastest in the country and Langford attracts families with children who need extra-curricular opportunities. It is very diƯicult to get into swim lessons in the Westshore and, in particular, in Langford. The club provides additional opportunities to those who are interested in swimming for fitness and learning water safety, which is important considering the many lakes and oceans nearby. In addition, the Juan de Fuca Royals Swim Club is the only competitive swim club in the Langford (Westshore) area. There is no other entity in the area the provides youth with the above-noted opportunities.” QUESTION: 7.

To do this we need funds to increase lane space and ensure coaching availability. Our secondary goal is to create a robust junior coach program that will allow the “senior” swimmers to develop their own coaching skills and earn volunteer work experience. This will help prepare youth for their entry into the workforce and provide meaningful features to their college or university applications.” QUESTION: 7. Please provide a description of the program, organization, project, or event and why a Grant in Aid from the City of Langford is required. You may wish to include the following information: What is the anticipated outcome? ANSWER: “The club currently covers all fees for athletes to participate in swim meets. Since the club started covering these fees, we have seen a great increase in participation in swim meets, frequency of practice attendance, and overall registration numbers. Last year the club paid $12,400 in meet fees. If we were to receive a grant to cover the cost of the meet fees (or a portion thereof) that would help us continue to expand opportunities to youth in Langford while keeping the cost to participate aƯordable.” QUESTION: 7.

Should your application be awarded less than the requested amount, what are the anticipated impacts? We would like to pay for the playground to be installed for the 2026/2027 school year. We are currently fundraising to save for this project and will be applying for the BC Gaming Capital Projects grant as well. Our school enrollement is 466 students and many of those students have siblings that are not old enough to be in elementary school or siblings who are at a higher grade level. This playground will be used by our students every day and by people in the community every day. They daily number is difficult to report but on any given school day at least 250 students will come into contact with the playground. We know that the cost of a new playground is estimated to be between $100,000 to $150,000. The amount of money we raise in the timeline that we have planned will impact how much we are able to spend on the replacement structure. We want to provide the best equipment we can with the most amount of accessible options possible. There is a direct correlation between that amount we save up and the playground that can be installed. Page 303 of 818 ### Page 304 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 304 *Denotes a mandatory field.

What is your organization’s role or niche in the community? What makes it different from other similar organizations? Ruth King Elementary School is a cherished local urban school that serves diverse families of different socio-economic backgrounds and cultural heritage and many new immigrated families. Recently our school capacity has gone from 285 students to 454 students in 5 years as high-density building has been expanding in the heart of Langford. Ruth King Elementary serves as both the local elementary school and one of the few green spaces used within the downtown core. Students, staff and families of different generations, gather and use the green space during and after school and on weekends, and engage in various sports and recreational activities, such as playing basketball, hockey, running with their dogs, and enjoying the playgrounds, sandboxes, nature parks and fields. Ruth King Elementary is currently undergoing the installation of a new Gaga Pit. The playground area designated for dodgeball is in the shape of an octagon (30h). The pit can accommodate a maximum of 25 players, and we gained the brackets that feature a wheelchair accessible door for our students and community at large. Our Gaga Pit project has achieved significant success thus far and had the honour of establishing contact with Home Depot in Our school is not only the sole elementary school in the heart of Langford, but because it shares the one of the few green spaces in the community, this space is a local hot spot for many students, staff and families of all generations and cultures to enjoy. Ruth King Elementary has become a hub for education, play, sport, recreation and community events like craft fair, and other local events. This three-hectare school yard has a one and half meter tall chain-link fence and along the perimeter of grounds has several openings for residents and wheelchair accessible. There are several sports fields and two playgrounds at the ends of the school with climbing apparatus, several swings, two sand boxes, a nature play area and a community garden and a new prefabricated school addition. Despite receiving funding from the province for the school, the funding did not include play structures like Gaga Pit, or benches or beautification. We strongly believe in our students and staff and want to provide additional playground equipment to promote play, physical activity and give access to the community at large. We are the only school without a Gaga Pit and would like to add this addition to our school yard. Page 424 of 818 ### Page 425 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 425 *Denotes a mandatory field.

You may wish to include the following information: Who is your target audience? What are the goals and objectives? What is the anticipated outcome? Our primary target audience comprises the 454 students and 60 staff at Ruth King Elementary and 25 families from Strong Start and the secondary focus being on the broader community. This includes families, children, and students living within the catchment area, as well as community members who may visit our green spaces throughout the year. We currently have a student attending our school that is wheel chair dependent and we would like to give more accessible opportunities for social connection and physical activity and promote inclusive environment. Our goal and aim revolve around the completion of the nearly finished Gaga Pit and the installation of an additional playground structure within the school grounds. Considering Ruth King Elementary’s significant position as a central hub within the downtown area, it is our intention to extend the privilege and benefit the entire community. The desired outcome is to construct the Gaga Pit successfully and include additional seating areas to accommodate people of different age groups. To enhance our school grounds, which also serve as a local park, we plan to introduce indigenous plants and engage in beautification and education initiatives that will benefit all the staff, students and families at the school.

Our Gaga Pit project has achieved significant success thus far and had the honour of establishing contact with Home Depot in Langford, BC, who generously provided the wood and materials required for constructing the Gaga Pit. The School District’s facilities have agreed to proceed with the installation. Unfortunately, we currently do not possess the Rubber Flooring Tiles needed for the Octagon Bracket System. The structure comprises 8-foot walls that surround the area of the Gaga Pit. The rubber flooring provides a 5/8” cushion on a slip-resistant 6x4 tile, featuring a button bottom for eƯective drainage. Please see attached the source of the brackets and the quote of $2,635.00 USD estimated $3660.87 CAD. Our vision is to complete our Gaga Pit as the first step and, if funding secured, the second step is to install benches at our elementary school for students, staƯ, families, and especially older generations, oƯering them a spot to sit and enjoy watching their children play in the new Gaga Pit. We would like to gain 2 Playground Park Benches, steel park benches covered with thermoplastic (6 feet). The total for these 2 benches at $2590.00 taxes included with free shipping. And the third step, to complete our project, we would like to include a portion of funds to go to indigenous plants for beautification. We currently have a community garden and would like to run an education initiative where we teach, grow and replant indigenous plants. The budget allocated for this beautification and education project is $500.00.” QUESTION: 6. What is your organization’s role or niche in the community?

The school is centrally in Langford and preserves one of the last green areas amidst the transformation of local landscapes because of high-density housing. The city and the school possess a remarkable chance to collaborate in meeting the fundamental needs of our students, families, and residents. Our community comprises many newly arrived families representing diverse cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds. As the community faces pressing issues related to living expenses and aƯordable housing, it becomes crucial to establish platforms that foster unity, education, socialization, and support for mental and physical health. It is our belief that the completion of the Gaga Pit will cause direct advantages for both the school students, families and the broader community.

Located in downtown Langford, British Columbia, Ruth King Elementary School is situated on the traditional lands of the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations rich tapestry of cultural backgrounds among its 454 students and 54 plus Although there are two playgrounds on the school grounds, they are small, outdated, and lack the necessary accessibility that our diverse school population requires. Originally designed to accommodate a school population of 250 students, our school now serves 454 students and continues to grow, highlighting the need for enhanced playground facilities. As our city continues to grow, the need for accessible recreational spaces has become increasingly urgent. Many students walk or bike to school, reinforcing a strong sense of community we cherish. Some children are not as fortunate and face mobility challenges that prevent them from accessing the existing playground facilities. One child currently registered at our school now learns from home, as she is unable to access the playground, which leaves her excluded and forced to watch her peers play from the sidelines. This underscores the need for a fully inclusive play environment where every child can engage, interact, and thrive together. The playground expansion initiative is designed to address these challenges by providing safe and accessible play opportunities for all students, particularly those with diverse abilities. With the endorsement of School District 62 and collaboration with Habitat Systems Inc., a playground supply company, we are committed to transforming our schoolyard into an inclusive play area.

About the Community Central Langford is a vibrant and rapidly growing community located in the inner core of the city of Langford, British Columbia. This area is notable for being home to Ruth King Elementary School, which features one of the only green space in the neighbourhood. This essential recreational area provides an important outlet for outdoor activities and social interactions among residents. Downtown Langford houses approximately 12% of the city's population and is the most densely populated area in the city. It is characterized by its rich diversity, making it one of the most multicultural neighbourhoods in the region. Downtown Langford also faces socioeconomic challenges, as many families in this area experience low-income levels. This neighbourhood contains the highest concentration of equity-deserving families, with many hard-working parents lacking the luxury of spacious backyards or easy access to parks. These circumstances highlight the need for accessible recreational spaces that can support the well-being of all residents. The community is deeply committed to fostering inclusivity and ensuring that all residents, especially children, have access to safe and welcoming recreational opportunities. Initiatives like the Ruth King Elementary Inclusive Playground Initiative exemplify this dedication, aiming to create an inclusive play environment that serves the diverse needs of our students and their families. By enhancing the available green space and promoting equality, downtown Langford strives to build a strong sense of community, where every individual feels valued and connected.

The new playground will promote social interaction and friendship among children of varying abilities, fostering empathy and understanding from a young age. By providing adaptive equipment and accessible features, such a playground encourages children with diverse abilities to engage actively with their peers, helping to break down barriers and reduce feelings of isolation. Inclusive play environments support the physical health of all children, encouraging active lifestyles and improving coordination, strength, and motor skills. The diverse sensory experiences available in an inclusive playground can also stimulate cognitive development, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Creating an inclusive playground not only enriches the lives of individual children but also strengthens community bonds, as families come together to support a shared vision of belonging and accessibility for everyone. The Ruth King Elementary Inclusive Playground Initiative is j inclusive and accessible play environment that serves the diverse population of our community. The existing playground facilities do not accommodate children with mobility challenges, limiting their ability to participate in outdoor play and social interactions. This impacts their development and well-being, highlighting the necessity for a space where all children can engage and thrive together. Ruth King Elementary is situated in downtown Langford, an area characterized by a high level of the only green space in the neighborhood, making it an important resource for families seeking safe Page 452 of 818 ### Page 453 Source pages: 64–818 ## Page 453 Page | 5 and welcoming recreational opportunities.

We anticipate that the new inclusive playground will provide safe and accessible play opportunities for children of all abilities, fostering an environment where every child can engage in meaningful social interactions and children with mobility challenges, we aim to create a space that encourages participation and belonging. To assess the success of this initiative, we will implement several measures. We will track space is utilized by students of varying abilities. We will also gather feedback from students, parents, and through informal conversation to gain insights into the playground's impact on engagement and social connections. We also plan to monitor community involvement by observing participation rates in fundraising events and initiatives related to the playground. Inclusive Playground Initiative will be evaluated based on these observations, allowing us to understand the project's impact on children's social, emotional, and physical development. By creating an inclusive play environment, we aim to foster a sense of belonging and strengthen community ties, enhancing the overall quality of life for families in downtown Langford. Project Timeline The timeline for the Ruth King Elementary Inclusive Playground Initiative is strategically planned to ensure smooth execution and timely completion. We anticipate having all fundraising activities completed by the spring of 2025, allowing us to secure the necessary funds for the project.

What is your organization’s role or niche in the community? What makes it different from other similar organizations? Sooke Family Resource Society (SFRS) was founded in 1984 by a group of young moms sharing parenting challenges around a kitchen table to provide child, youth, and family services in the Sooke community. Since those early days, SFRS has expanded to offer a wide range of supports for those in need from Port Renfrew to the Greater Victoria area. SFRS is known and respected for our commitment to quality services to the people we serve as well as to the community as a whole. Currently SFRS's Adult Outreach Services department office is located in Langford and supports adults with developmental disabilities. This department holds our South Island Community Connections program providing One on One support service, Empowering Personal Wellness Activity Club, and the Welcome Home program. Many of the individuals supported in this department, as well as our Home Share Providers, reside in the Langford area. Our activity club runs three times per week in Langford, currently in Gordon United Church. We have a long standing relationship with Westshore Parks and Recreation through leasing space and booking programming. Community Outings typically include visits to Langford attractions such as City Centre Park, Greater Victoria Libraries, and local parks. Food and supplies for this program, including the self-funded food security hamper provided for our program participants are purchased in Langford. Both staff and program participants in our outreach and inclusion services frequent numerous Langford retailers and restaurants particularly with well-planned accessibility. The outreach & inclusion department has been operating in Langford since 2012, currently occupying a second floor unit on Bryn Maur. In late 2023 SFRS was a successful applicant of a small projects grant to retrofit 5 doors, four which are common-use, with push-button automatic openers. This install was completed in 2024. These accessibility improvements have benefited our program participants greatly as well as other businesses operating from this same location. Individuals supported in our Langford programs are mostly referred by Community Living British Columbia (CLBC). CLBC provides an individual with funding for them to connect with a support worker to create and achieve goals such as employment, skill building and inclusion. After providing a one-to-one support service for several years, it became evident that while clients greatly benefited from the achievements, they repeatedly expressed their desire for more social connection, particularly unpaid friends. Additionally, a growing population in the south island meant funding amounts were spread thin but the service delivery expectation remained high. As a result, CLBC is often only able to provide minimal or "core" funding amounts, typically 90-120 minutes of support per week. In response to these changes, SFRS began the Empowering Personal Wellness Activity Club, a twice-a-week group program designed to help maximize core funding by offering a 4:1 ratio (of hours) of group versus one-to-one service. Activities offered through the group combine skill development and community inclusion with additional opportunities to connect with a worker for personalized help on personal projects such as job seeking. The group is open to all participants however it proved an incredible opportunity for individuals with the minimal funding support to join their peers in all the same activities. In fact, the demand to join the Activity Club grew so much in number and diversity that we added an additional drop-in day that includes a hot lunch, access to a food security hamper, games, supplies, WIFI, computers, and staff able to provide emotional support and resource navigation. By far the highest turn out is on the weekly community outing day which explores as many accessible public and private attractions as offered. The increased demand for the group service invited greater individual diversity amongst participants and we were pleased to welcome new participants who use and/or rely on mobility devices. While the growth of the participant roster is a marker of success, with the exception of staffing, the program costs including preparation, supplies, staff training, facilities, utilities and transportation are self-funded and non-revenue producing. Unable to secure capital asset funds directly from our referral source, SFRS is turning to community for help to raise money to acquire or retrofit a wheelchair accessible minivan. Not only would a fully accessible vehicle offer safe transportation alongside friends & supports, it provides the sense of dignity and independence we expect from quality, community based programming.

Please provide a description of the program, organization, project, or event and why a Grant in Aid from the City of Langford is required. You may wish to include the following information: Who is your target audience? What are the goals and objectives? What is the anticipated outcome? Our target audience are the adults living with developmental disability receiving supports through our Adult Outreach Services department and by extension their family and support networks. Our objective is to provided client driven, person-centered supports to participants to foster greater self reliance, independence and the highest standard quality of life. Our goal to supporting this mandate is to reduce barriers to access in the broadest sense attainable, such as access to food, emotional and peer supports, creative outlets, celebrations & events, community resources and supplies and transportation to activities, appointments and educational institutions. The anticipated outcome is that individuals in our service and their families feel assured that SFRS can provide safe and secure transportation that ensures full participation and inclusion.

April - June 2025: liaison with dealerships to solidify the best package. July - December 2025: purchase of vehicle The AOS department supports over 60 adults with developmental disabilities. Approximately 40 percent of clients who access our support services reside in Langford and roughly 32 percent of our home shares are in Langford with most others residing in the Westshore area. Additionally, 50 percent of the program staff call Langford home. Our AOS program location is located in the heart of Langford with secure, gated parking. If our application is awarded less than the requested amount it would likely lead to a delay in acquisition of an accessible vehicle and hamper our ability to fully realize our project mandate in reasonable amount of time.

Please outline your attempts to secure additional funding from other sources. Please provide details about funding (if any) that has been secured by other governments at any level (local, provincial, federal): Purchasing an accessible van or retrofitting our current van is outside our current operating budget and capital asset funding from our referral source was not forthcoming in 2023/2024 fiscal year as expected. SFRS holds a fundraising page on Canada Helps and ran a campaign on Giving Tuesday asking for support to purchase an accessible van. There was a recent article in the Sooke Mirror announcing our new Executive Director and sharing our need for donations toward an accessible van. SFRS will continue to advocate to CLBC for financial support toward an accessible vehicle. SFRS continues to research additional grants as well as being in contact with companies that modify vans to see if they have any support for non profit organizations.

The programs outlined in this application utilize public transportation as often as appropriate when supporting inclusion and outreach services. Inclusion and development programs both promote and teach public transit access to reduce reliance on private vehicles where possible and build awareness about environmental impacts. Lastly, our program vehicle provides opportunity for carpooling for service related needs as well as staff events. I SFRS would be delighted to promote the support received by the City of Langford on their social media or have signage on the vehicle itself.
