CCA AGM

The CCA AGM has just finished:

Financial Statements

The full report can be found in the Annual Report (download here), but some highlights:

Fiscal Year 05/06 saw the Canadian Cycling Association break the 3 million dollar revenue mark for the first time in our 124 year history, breaking the barrier and boosting our accumulated surplus to $134,088 based on revenues of $3,070,593 and expenses of $3,013,279.

Revenues increased by $424,582, or 16.1% over fiscal year 04/05. This was largely attributed to an increase in funding from Sport Canada’s Canadian Sport Review Panel (CSRP) and the success of a couple of private sector initiatives, namely the signing of Tim Hortons to a new three year agreement and the EPCOR Evening of Champions Gala.

With an increase in revenue, there was also growth in related spending of $281,811, or 10.4%. All of this additional spending was redirected towards the High Performance and Domestic Sectors, with expenses in Finance & Administration/Marketing actually dropping overall by $28,926, or 2.9% from the previous year. The breakdown was:

Finance & Administration/Marketing - $576,463 (19%)
Domestic Programs - $586,962 (19%)
Insurance - $414,266 (14%)
High Performance - $1,435,588 (48%)

Elections

Three Board of Director positions were up for election this year. There are no contests for the positions, so all three were acclaimed for two year positions:

Andrew Feenstra (Nova Scotia) returns.
John Tolkamp (British Columbia) returns.
Bill Kinash (Saskatchewan) joins the Board*.

* Bill Kinash was on the Board in the Past-President (non-voting) position; he now joins the Board as a full voting member in a Director-at-Large position.

2007 AGM

Proposed and accepted that the AGM will take place in Alberta next year, with an intent to hold the 2008 AGM in Quebec City (2008 cannot be ratified until the next AGM). There was also discussion about moving the AGM later (NOT Grey Cup weekend) - potentially to the old time of the end of November/beginning of December).
