Section III: Supplementary Information

Financial Highlights

The future-oriented financial highlights presented within this section of the RPP are intended to serve as a general overview of SWC’s financial operations. They are prepared on an accrual basis to strengthen accountability and improve transparency and financial management.

SWC is financed by the Government of Canada through Parliamentary authorities. Financial reporting of authorities provided to SWC does not parallel financial reporting according to generally accepted accounting principles since authorities are primarily based on cash flow requirements. Consequently, items forecast in the consolidated future-oriented statement of operations are not necessarily the same as those forecast through authorities from Parliament. A reconciliation of forecast authorities available (based on RPP forecast/planned spending amounts) and the forecast net cost of operations is set out in Note 5 of the organization’s future-oriented financial statements.

Section IV: Other Items of Interest

One of the ways that SWC advances its priorities is through its promotion of commemorative dates. In the coming year, the agency will prepare and distribute a variety of promotional materials to raise Canadians’ awareness of milestones in the history of women; to celebrate progress toward equality; and encourage reflection on the challenges that remain. The agency uses a variety of traditional and electronic formats, including social media, to disseminate its products.
 

International Women’s Day, March 8: Canadians join the international community for a celebration of women, peace and human rights.
 

Women’s History Month (October): Each October, Canadians are encouraged to learn about the important contributions of women and girls to Canada’s history – and to the quality of our lives today.
 

International Day of the Girl, October 11: Canada, with the support of Plan Canada, led the international community in adopting this day, which will help to empower girls throughout the world as citizens and powerful motivators of change.
 

Person’s Day, October 18: On October 18, 1929, a group of women who became known as the Famous Five won their case before the British Privy Council for Canadian women to be recognized as persons before the law and therefore eligible to sit in the Senate.
 

The 16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence, November 25 – December 10: November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, marks the beginning of the worldwide 16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence; December 10, International Human Rights Day, marks the end.
 

National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, December 6: On the anniversary of the 1989 Montréal Massacre, Canadians remember the victims of gender-based violence and consider concrete actions to end all forms of violence against women and girls.
