Annual General Meeting 2005
Treasurers Report

LSPC finished this year in a surplus position. This would not have been possible if not for the hard work of our core staff members. One of the reasons for our surplus is the fact that our Executive Director, position was left vacant in 2004. We were able to rescue our cash flow, but this did represent a significant strain to both the board and the employees.

LSPC has now taken on several new projects, which are expanding our roles, as well as our funding. The hiring of a fund development person, as well as a volunteer coordinator should increase our ability to fund raise for the core costs of the LSPC.

LSPC has several projects on the go for the upcoming year. The funding for the SEII 2 Project has been approved and we are well into the planning for this dynamic project. The 211 Committee is also working hard towards its future goal of having a 211 site in Thunder Bay.

LSPC has now hired a part time Executive Director, which is starting to lighten the workload of the staff and board. More importantly this step has allowed us to hire an Executive Director to conduct meetings, and manage projects we are hoping to start up soon.

Respectfully Submitted
