The Canadian Cancer Society’sNew Logo

Why change our logo ?

Changing the Canadian Cancer Society’s

visual identity is part of a wide range of initia-

tives we are taking to revitalize our public

image. This move is in response to the grow-

ing number of competitors who are emerging

with a youthful, current and vibrant look.

Market studies

Studies conducted across Canada, in both

urban and rural areas, show that Quebecers

and Canadians alike have a very positive per-

ception of the Society, which they associate

with strength, stability, rigour and power.

While one in ten respondents could identify

the Society’s caduceus, most viewed the daf-

fodil as the symbol that best captures their per-

ceptions of the Society : empathy, compassion

and hope.

The daffodil, a fresh new symbol

The first version of the daffodil was abstract

and plain, a concept that won public approval.

Society volunteers, however, expressed their

preference for an image that captures the

flower’s true likeness. The logo we settled on

marries the two concepts: the daf-

fodil retains the abstract elements of

the first draft but is vividly framed in a pure

blue square.

Conclusion

The Canadian Cancer Society’s new logo

successfully combines these divergent per-

spectives : the shapes range from free flowing

to a more anchored appearance; while the

bright yellow contrasts sharply with the pure

blue. The whole elegantly reflects the hope

and compassion, strength and rigour that

define the Society.

Mission Statement

Message from the President of the Division and the Executive Director

he Canadian Cancer Society has a new face! The caduceus, a symbol of the unrelenting fight against cancer for

60 years, and an emblem of the medical world, has served the Society well over many years of darkness. Today,

the daffodil has taken its place as the Society’s official logo. A symbol of hope and courage, the daffodil faithfully

reflects the realities of an organization that is engaged in the fight against cancer on several fronts, including can-

cer research, education in cancer prevention and support to people living with cancer.

The daffodil—a long-time presence within the organization—has come to be recognized by our people as an

emblem of the Canadian Cancer Society. Who has not heard of Daffodil Days, which usher in spring every year?

In Quebec alone, annual daffodil sales bring in over $1 million. And then there are the many events that take

place across Quebec where our representative flower, a sight familiar to the public, trumpets both strength and

compassion.

The new millennium was an ideal opportunity for the Canadian Cancer Society to adopt a new image and a

new slogan, unveiled here for the first time: “Let’s make cancer history.”

In closing, a word from your president, who is completing her term with a heavy heart, leaving behind a role

that placed her at the heart of the action for two very short years. “Our new slogan captures the essence of what

every president hopes to accomplish during a mandate. We can be proud of our many successes in areas such

as research, programs and fundraising. But much remains to be done. The fight will not be over until cancer is

history. The key to our success is our dedicated team of volunteers, our capable staff and our generous donors.”

Thank you!

A home away from homeThe layout of the Lodge deserves special mention. In stark contrast to

the impersonal feel of most institutional settings, the architect created afriendly and discreet environment that gives the Lodge all the warmth andcharm of a home away from home.

In addition to 30 double rooms, the Lodge has several beautifully deco-rated lounges, located on each floor. For the gregarious, the Lodge alsooffers more spacious common rooms. In the summer, residents can enjoythe three terraces as well as the garden.

An address worth notingSince September 1989, the offices of the Quebec Division and the

Montreal region have been located at 5151 Assomption Boulevard, inMontreal. The French language Cancer Information Service joined them in1996.

A location to be proud ofBy acquiring its own location, the Canadian Cancer Society was also

seeking to gain greater visibility and to make the Lodge an important cen-tre for all cancer-related matters.

Since its inauguration in April 1990, some 5000 people have been resi-dents at the Lodge and thousands of others have attended meetingsthere, as well as symposia, conferences, training workshops, get togethersand media events.

Over the last decade, the Lodge has become a place of choice for dis-cussing cancer-related topics. Last year alone the Lodge hosted a widerange of activities.

One Step at a TimeOn December 9, a few days before the law prohibiting smoking in the

workplace came into effect, the Canadian Cancer Society invited the mediato attend the launching of its program One Step at a Time, intended forsmokers who want to kick the habit on their own.

The success of this announcement, which took place at the Lodge, wasinstantaneous and unprecedented in the history of the Society.

In a room filled with curious journalists eager to find out about themethod prescribed by the Society—inspired by the Stages of Changemodel—a drug addiction expert explained the five steps smokers need totake to free themselves from their addiction: precontemplation, contempla-tion, preparation, action and maintenance.

As soon as the One Step at a Time program was announced on radioand television, the phones started ringing off the hook at the CancerInformation Service, which had lent its support to the initiative. In the daysthat followed, the Information Service answered 5300 calls, 1107 of whichpoured in in the first 24 hours. Normally, the Service responds to an aver-age of 50 calls per day requesting information on cancer.

Thanks to the herculean efforts of the Society’s support staff, a crisis wasaverted and the Information Service was able to rise to the occasion.

Another challenge, another victoryAs the province with the most smokers, Quebec has the highest mortali-

ty rate due to lung cancer. Clearly, the Society must work hard to convinceQuebecers to kick this deadly habit.

Louise Labrie, an outspoken anti-smoking activist and President of thePublic Interest Committee, heard about the “Quit and Win” contest anddecided to organize this initiative in collaboration with Acti-Menu. Sheasked the Society to play a leading role. The idea behind the contest wascompelling: encourage smokers, with the support of a partner, to quitsmoking for six weeks in order to become eligible for the grand draw.

On January 20, in a jam-packed room in the Society Lodge, well-knownsmokers were invited to take up the Challenge: Pierre Légaré was encour-aged by his son; Gaston L’Heureux was coached by Dr. Richard Lessard;and Bernard Fortin supported his brother, Dr. Marquis Fortin. It didn’t takelong for the news to hit the radio waves and television screens. The pro-motional material used throughout the province featured the CancerInformation Service number 1-888-939-3333. As a result, the Service’sspecialists, assisted by Society staff, responded to 6264 requests for infor-

The Lodge celebrates its

10th anniversary

Thanks to the generosity of

our donors, 5000 people—

shaken by the news of a can-

cer diagnosis and the prospect

of leaving loved ones to

undergo radiation therapy in

Montreal—have found the

comfort of a second home at

the Canadian Cancer

Society Lodge.

At an affordable price, the

Lodge offers them a comfort-

able room, three meals a day,

transportation to a radiology

centre as well as the reassur-

ing presence of a caring team

of volunteers. Residents at the

Lodge are also given an

opportunity to forge meaning-

ful friendships and to take part

in various cultural and recre-

ational activities.

mation or material during the 6-week campaign.The outcome was nothing short of a success: 20,400 smokers (the

number had originally been estimated at 20,000), backed by as manypartners, kicked the habit for at least 6 weeks, and were able to takepart in a contest in which everyone came out a winner, either by receiv-ing one of the many prizes totaling $40,000, or by enjoying the healthbenefits of living smoke-free for six weeks.

Morale + Quality of Life = HealthDo morale and quality of life have an impact on the health of those

affected by cancer? That would seem a perfectly obvious equation intheory, but what is the reality?

This question was explored by seven speakers who were invited topresent their ideas and experience at a seminar held on April 26 to cel-ebrate the 10th anniversary of the Lodge. A morning press conferencepreceding the seminar enabled the experts to share the highlights oftheir afternoon presentations with journalists.

An audience of 70 very attentive healthcare volunteers and profes-sionals attended the seminar. The overriding theme of the seminar wasthat while cancer is a frightening disease, it is not necessarily an incur-able one. Increased rates of recovery are largely attributable to the posi-tive dynamic in which patients, families and caregivers join forces toattain a common goal: a return to a healthy life. There can be no doubtthat morale and quality of life play a determining role in this collectiveeffort toward recovery—a goal which is no longer an unattainable dream.

There’s more…Over the years, in response to the needs expressed by people living

with cancer, the Society produced acalendar of recurring activities, fromSeptember to June inclusively. In orderto accommodate as many people aspossible, activities are scheduled inthe morning, afternoon and evening.

Here is a typical month of activitiesat the Society Lodge:

1st Monday of the month “Look Good…Feel Better” workshop (afternoon)

3rd Monday of the month “Look Good…Feel Better” workshop (evening)

Every Tuesday Reiki sessions (3 sessions)Last Tuesday of the month Informal get-together

(afternoon)2nd Wednesday of the month Conference on a cancer-related topic

(evening)3rd Wednesday of the month Group meeting for people with cancer

(evening)Group meeting for loved ones (evening)

Activities are free. Given their popularity and limited space, it is best toregister in advance. Attendance varies from 20 to 80 people.

Mission accomplishedThe Lodge has fulfilled the expectations of volunteers who oversaw its

construction and who dreamed of a large facility that would provideaccommodation and emotional and physical renewal, as well as refer-ences and exchanges on cancer-related matters.

Louise Labrie (second from left),initiated the « Quit & Win » contestwhich tourned out to be a greatsuccess.

The purpose of « Lookgood, feel better » programis to give hope to womenby helping them regainconfidence in themselvesand in life.

According to the presentspeakers, morale and quali-ty of life have a determin-ing influence on health.

1. Description of the Society The Canadian Cancer Society (the “Society”) isa charity incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act as a not-for-profit organization. The Society is a national community-based organization ofvolunteers dedicated to eradicating cancer and improving the quality of life ofpeople living with cancer. The Society carries out its mission through research,public education and services to cancer patients and their families, and uses itsinfluence in matters of public interest.

2. Accounting policies The financial statements have been prepared in accor-dance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and include thefollowing significant accounting policies:Revenue recognition The Society follows the deferral method of accounting forcontributions. Restricted contributions are recognized as revenue in the year inwhich the related expenses are incurred. Unrestricted contributions are recog-nized as revenue when received or receivable if the amount to be received canbe reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured.Expenses Expenses are recorded in the books according to the applicable sec-tor of activity. Certain expenses which cover more than one sector of activity areallocated proportionately, in accordance with the Society’s financial managementmanual.Prepaid expenses and deferred expenses Prepaid expenses and deferredexpenses mainly include pamphlets and instructional materials and are record-ed at cost.Capital assets Capital assets are recorded at cost. Contributed capital assets arerecorded at fair value at the date of contribution. Capital assets are amortized ona straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Building 15 years *Furniture and equipment 4 years *Computer equipment 3 yearsAutomotive equipment 3 years

* Estimated useful lives according to the Society’s Canadian policy.Accumulated post retirement benefits other than pensions The CanadianCancer Society provides certain benefits to retired employees and their spous-es. The benefits include medical services, life insurance and extended healthcare benefits. The cost of these benefits is actuarially determined using the pro-jected benefit method pro-rated on service and management’s best estimate ofsalary escalation, retirement ages of employees and expected healthcare costs.This benefit plan is not funded.

Auditors’ report

To the Members of the Board ofDirectors of the Canadian Cancer Society,Quebec Division

We have audited the balance sheet ofthe Canadian Cancer Society - QuebecDivision as at September 30, 2000 and thestatements of revenue and expenses,changes in net assets and cash flows forthe year then ended. These financial state-ments are the responsibility of the Society’smanagement. Our responsibility is toexpress an opinion on these financial state-ments based on our audit.

Except as explained in the followingparagraph, we conducted our audit inaccordance with Canadian generally accept-ed auditing standards. Those standardsrequire that we plan and perform an auditto obtain reasonable assurance whether thefinancial statements are free of materialmisstatement. An audit includes examining,on a test basis, evidence supporting theamounts and disclosures in the financialstatements. An audit also includes assessingthe accounting principles used and signifi-cant estimates made by management, aswell as evaluating the overall financial state-ment presentation.

In common with many charitable organi-zations, the Society derives revenue fromdonations, the completeness of which isnot susceptible of satisfactory audit verifica-tion. Accordingly, our verification of this rev-enue was limited to the amounts recordedin the records of the Society and we werenot able to determine whether any adjust-ments might be necessary to donation rev-enue, excess of revenue over expenses,assets and unrestricted net assets.

In our opinion, except for the effect ofadjustments, if any, which we might havedetermined to be necessary had we beenable to satisfy ourselves concerning thecompleteness of the donation revenuereferred to in the preceding paragraph,these financial statements present fairly, inall material respects, the financial positionof the Society as at September 30, 2000and the results of its operations and itscash flows for the year then ended inaccordance with Canadian generally accept-ed accounting principles.
