The impact of our partnerships, alliances and investments is seen in the lives that
are changed. In this report, you’ll read about five people whose lives have improved
as a result of our work.
OUR MISSION
More than 185 programs, services and initiatives received support from United Way/
Centraide, thanks to our donors, the volunteer work of more than 100 community
leaders who sit on our six impact councils and 13 special initiatives, and the
countless volunteers who tirelessly find the resources to make our community better.
OUR PROMISE
To invest resources where they are needed the most and where they will have
the greatest impact

A LETTER TO THE COMMUNITY
This is a story about creating ties, forging links, forming partnerships.
In telling this story, we have chosen to use the image of a ball of thread. Roll a ball of thread
down a slope and it gains momentum along the way — not unlike what we are seeing as
a result of the money we raise and the work we do every year. Tie the threads together —
donors and funding partners, community agencies and coalitions, volunteers who are at
the heart of our work — and we can create lasting change in this community.
To help target our investments, our impact councils refined their strategies for each of our
six impact areas — children and youth, individuals and families in need and crisis, seniors,
people with disabilities, new Canadians and immigrants, and agency, neighbourhood and
community capacity.
We’re forging links in other areas as well: between aboriginal groups with government and
local service agencies; skilled immigrants with employers; and low-income seniors with
service providers.
With your help, we’re creating ties that bind … and that contribute to building a stronger,
healthier, safer community for all.
