MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND THE DIRECTOR AND CEO

This year has seen an act of the imagination emerge as a substantialbuilding project at the Royal Ontario Museum through RenaissanceROM.The ROM is sparking the renaissance of Toronto in this enormousand central undertaking.

On April 2, 2003, the Hon. Hilary M.Weston announced a $30-million capital contribution by Michael A. Lee-Chin to theRenaissance ROM capital campaign, the largest gift so far to theMuseum’s transformation. Daniel Libeskind’s striking Crystal buildingon Bloor Street will be named after Mr. Lee-Chin, and the soaringCrystal Court within will be named after Mr. Lee-Chin’s mother,Gloria Hyacinth Chen. By the May 28, 2003, groundbreaking for phaseone, Renaissance ROM had pledges of $114.7 million for the $200-million project, greatly surpassing our first-year goals.

Construction is underway on the Crystal, renovations have begunon the heritage buildings, and plans are well advanced for 20 new gal-leries to be housed in the expanded museum.Work was started on newclassrooms and laboratories for student programs, and the ROM com-pleted its first wholly owned off-site storage facility in Oakville, Ontario.

The year included major travelling exhibitions in diverse fields—Treasures from a Lost Civilization:Ancient Chinese Art from Sichuan; Imagesof Salvation: Masterpieces from the Vatican and Other Italian Collections; andthe controversial James Ossuary exhibition. Significant ROM presenta-tions ranging from the successful Elite Elegance: Couture Fashion in the1950s to smaller exhibitions of Inuit art and artifacts, Chinese stonerubbings, and Japanese-Canadian woodcuts were also strong features onour exhibition calendar.

Close to 893,000 people visited the ROM in 2002/2003, withattendance at ROM Friday Nights reaching record levels; more than195,000 people participated in close to 40 diverse and dynamic pro-grams.Visits to the ROM’s redesigned Web site also soared, with almosttwo million virtual visits. And for the second straight year, the ROMwas chosen by Canada’s most distinguished event planners as the topevent venue in the country. With the opening of the new CanadaCourt event space in the fall of 2003, we will continue to excel in providing unique and memorable events for all of our clients.

Meanwhile, the ROM’s annual operating budget was affected bydeclines in tourism and local traffic due to SARS, while its publicappropriation remained frozen.The economic security of the Museumin the future will depend on the realization of its new and renovatedfacilities, for which we have high expectations.

We appreciate the support of all our volunteers, staff, and contrac-tors—and of the community as a whole—in creating a new star turnfor Ontario and Toronto in the ROM, and for reviving the fortunes ofone of the world’s great museums of nature and art.

With the announcement of Michael A. Lee-Chin’s $30-million gift andthe spectacular launch and groundbreaking for Renaissance ROM,there is little doubt that this past year has been the most momentous inROM Foundation history. The strong public and patron support forRenaissance ROM—a project that will restore and transform theRoyal Ontario Museum in equal measure, placing it at the vanguard ofa major cultural revival in Toronto—has given us much to celebrate andmuch to look forward to in this coming year.

At year’s end $116 million has been raised, putting us ahead of tar-get to reach the $200-million goal of our most ambitious capital campaignto date.We are grateful for this surge of support and for the extraordi-nary level of confidence in the Museum’s future during what has beena difficult year for Toronto and Ontario. More remarkable still is the factthat our campaign, the largest cultural capital campaign in Canadianhistory, has not in any way diminished the strength of the ROMFoundation’s other giving programs; it has, in fact, stimulated them.TheRoyal Patrons’ Circle, for example, made an unprecedented contributionof $1 million to the Museum this fiscal year.

The high visibility and early success of the Renaissance ROMCampaign directly emanate from the inspired leadership of its Chair,the Hon. Hilary M.Weston, and the broad and diverse group of talentsshe has assembled for the Campaign Executive and Campaign Cabinet.These volunteers, along with our dedicated Foundation staff, have puttogether a focused and creative campaign that continues to engage newaudiences and build momentum.We are deeply indebted to our volun-teers and donors, who have invested so much time and energy to makeRenaissance ROM a success and a personal point of pride.

The ROM Foundation is encouraged by the early accomplish-ments of the campaign and looks forward to next year with confidenceand high expectations. The excitement that is gathering aroundRenaissance ROM comes from a shared sense that we are contributingto something profound and historic, something that will revitalize theROM for a new century and sustain the legacy of those volunteers,donors, and staff who have helped build the ROM into an internationalmuseum of the first rank.

SPARKING THE RENAISSANCE Renaissance ROM, the Royal Ontario Museum’s ambitiousexpansion project, has progressed greatly over the past fiscalyear. Phase one of this historic capital development and thecrucial fundraising campaign both got off to very successfulbeginnings, with all aspects of the project remaining on timeand on budget at year end. Just one year ago, the project wasstill in the planning stages, having just received formal Boardapproval to proceed with phase one and to engage the ProjectTeam members, including the architects, exhibit designers, andconstruction managers.

The public face of Renaissance ROM was officiallyunveiled on May 28, 2003, when the Hon. Hilary M.Weston,Chair of the Renaissance ROM Campaign, climbed aboard abackhoe on the front grounds of the ROM to symbolically breakground for the project.At the same event,Mrs.Weston launchedthe Campaign, revealing that it already had commitments for$114.7 million of its $200-million fundraising goal (well abovethe original launch target). The project’s extensive new Website, www.rom.on.ca /renaissance, also made its debut that day.

In April 2003, the ROM received an amazing lead gift of$30 million from Canadian businessman Michael A. Lee-Chin.In response to his extraordinary contribution, the ROM willname its building addition the Michael A. Lee-Chin Crystal,and the interior atrium the Hyacinth Gloria Chen CrystalCourt, in honour of his mother. Significant public-sector contributions had been previously announced in 2002,with $30 million apiece from the provincial government’sSuperBuild initiative and the federal government’s Canada-Ontario Infrastructure Program.

At the groundbreaking event, three new gifts of $5 millioneach were announced, from Jim Temerty and his family, JackCockwell and the Brascan group, and Mrs. Elizabeth Samuel—the latter gift earmarked for the restoration of the ROM’scurrent entrance, the Rotunda, in memory of her husband,

Ernie Samuel. Other leadership-level gifts to RenaissanceROM include a commitment of $1.5 million from CIBC,$1 million from John and Merrilyn Driscoll, $1 million fromMr. and Mrs. William B. Harris for the future Patricia HarrisGallery of Costumes and Textiles, $1 million from the R. SamuelMcLaughlin Foundation, and an inspiring pledge from theROM’s Department of Museum Volunteers to raise $1 millionfrom its members.

Public awareness of Renaissance ROM grew throughoutthe spring, owing to excellent media coverage of project-relatedannouncements. Local residents and visitors began to see theproject’s external, physical impact when the constructionhoarding and building activities geared up in May and June.Behind the scenes, however, preparations and renovations inback-of-house areas had begun much earlier.

Starting in late 2002, many staff completed temporary orpermanent office moves within the building to make way forrenovations and demolition. Last fall, work began on the mainlevel to reconfigure the Library, build classrooms for the newLearning Centre,demolish the large ramp in the southeast atrium,and renovate the entire main floor of the Queen’s Park wing(including the former ROM Shops/Druxy’s corridor to createthe Canada Court, (a large new events space) and the GarfieldWeston Exhibition Hall, both for September 2003). TheRenaissance ROM project office was installed in trailers on thePlanetarium plaza in February 2003.

The ROM took possession of its newly constructed ware-house facility in Oakville, Ontario, in January 2003. Over thenext two months, the Centre for Biodiversity and ConservationBiology moved approximately 100,000 litres of its alcohol-stored collections into these upgraded facilities, featuring twopurpose-built laboratories.ROM Oakville, supported by a grantfrom the Ontario Ministry of Culture through its Capital Repairand Rehabilitation Fund, allowed the consolidation of off-site

artifact storage into a single location and opened up space inthe Curatorial Centre for staff moves and other improvements.

Galleries on level 1B, including the Sigmund SamuelCanadiana Gallery and the Roloff Beny Gallery, were closed inthe winter and spring of 2003, followed by the T.T.Tsui Galleriesof Chinese Art, the Ming Tomb, the R. Samuel McLaughlinMineral Hall, and the S.R.Perren Gem and Gold Room on themain level, and the Discovery Gallery on level 2 of the Museum.Demolition of the Terrace Galleries began in June 2003, withconstruction of the Crystal set to begin in fall 2003.A dramaticmoment occurred in May, when a mysterious time capsule wasdiscovered buried inside the Ming Tomb, containing greetingsand artifacts from a previous generation of ROM colleagues.

By the Museum’s fiscal year-end in June, the team fromStudio Daniel Libeskind, in partnership with Toronto architectsBregman + Hamann, had completed 100 per cent of the pro-ject’s architectural design development. Because interior designmust be phased in after building design, exhibit developersHaley Sharpe Design had completed 60 per cent of the schematicdesign for the phase one galleries, as planned.

Internal consultations have been critical to the success ofboth design and construction, through open and ongoing dia-logue with the Museum’s dedicated employees and volunteers.Broad participation in this process has improved many featuresand the overall cost-efficiency of the project. Individuals fromvarious departments serve on ongoing staff advisory teams,academic advisory groups, and temporary user groups that pro-vided useful feedback on evolving designs and construction.Staff and volunteers are regularly kept informed of RenaissanceROM activities in many ways, including small group sessions,weekly e-mail construction updates, and a monthly newsletteravailable both electronically and in hard copy.

Page 9: l SPARKING THE RENAISSANCE Royal Ontario Museum l Annual ... · Collections and Research 16 Donors,Patrons,Sponsors 18 ROM Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report 35 ROM Foundation

Community consultations have also been key in keeping theproject on track.Meetings have been held with groups represent-ing First Nations,African, and South Asian communities to discussgallery development and design. Senior staff has met regularlywith local business and residents’groups to discuss and address theirconcerns.These meetings assisted in obtaining required zoningapprovals from the City of Toronto in April and facilitated theissuance of needed permits within a tight timeline.They also led tothe ROM’s decision to provide $100,000 for a Trees for Torontofund to plant 80 trees around the ROM and Philosophers’Walk,significantly improving the green space in this area of the city.

Communicating to the public that the ROM remains openand continues to offer world-class exhibitions is a key elementof Renaissance ROM, and these messages are prominent onthe colourful and informative construction hoarding that nowsurrounds the Museum.The ROM recognizes its responsibilityto inform visitors about galleries that are open or temporarilyclosed, and about upcoming international exhibitions duringthe construction period (such as Art Deco 1910–1939 andEternal Egypt: Masterworks of Ancient Art from The British Museum),and has adjusted admission prices accordingly.

While the past year saw the project meeting or exceedingall its targets for schedule, budget, and scope, the year ahead forRenaissance ROM will see certain aspects of the project com-pleted and others begun. New gallery construction willincrease dramatically while back-of-house demolition and ren-ovation will wind down. Decisions will be made regarding thenature and material of the Crystal’s exterior and interior finish-es, the landscape plan, and individual gallery designs. Later thiscoming year, the Board of Trustees will consider grantingauthority to proceed with phase two of the project.

As the new Crystal rises on Bloor Street over the next twoyears, we look forward to making more exciting fundraisingannouncements that move the Renaissance ROM Campaigntoward its goal.

A GLIMPSE OF THE FUTURE

Renaissance ROM will allow the public display of far more ofthe ROM’s treasured artifacts and specimens, including manycollections never before seen. Some 250,000 square feet of boldnew and renovated galleries designed by Daniel Libeskind, therenowned architect for the redevelopment of the World TradeCenter site in New York, will dramatically improve theMuseum’s public amenities and increase its audience reach.Theproject will also provide greater financial stability for “the peo-ple’s museum”—an open, accessible place where all ages andcultures can experience learning, wonder, and inspiration.

Planned highlights of the new Michael A. Lee-ChinCrystal include an 18,000-square-foot international exhibitionhall on the lower level, the Stair of Wonders (a vertical cabinetof curiosities), and the Spirit House (a contemplative spacelinking the east and west crystals, crossed by bridges). Six brilliant new galleries will overlook Bloor Street above the spacious new main entrance, which will feature an impressiveart and gift shop. Second-floor Crystal galleries will focus ondinosaurs, the rise of mammals, and the ice age. New galleriesexploring Africa, the Americas, and the Asia-Pacific region as well as West and South Asian civilizations will figure prominently on the third floor.The fourth floor will showcasethe Museum’s remarkable costumes and textiles collection andthe Institute for Contemporary Culture. Finally, a new fine dining restaurant is planned for the Crystal’s fifth floor, dramat-ically overlooking the city to the west and south. Phase one of the project, including the new Crystal building, renovationsto many galleries in the historical wings, and a new family dining facility adjacent to Philosophers’ Walk, will open inDecember 2005.

Many of the galleries in the existing heritage wings of theMuseum will be reconceived and connected with the newCrystal to improve visitor circulation. Our two signature col-

lections of Canadian and Asian arts and culture will takeprominence on the Museum’s first floor, opening in 2005 aspart of phase one.The Galleries of Canada, running the lengthof the Queen’s Park wing, will explore our country’s rich her-itage, including a significant new space devoted to Canada’sFirst Peoples. As part of this wing, the Museum’s currentRotunda entrance will be restored and reborn as an elegantcafé.The Asian galleries, representing China, Japan, and Korea,will occupy the west wing of the Museum, facing Philosophers’Walk. Earth’s Treasures, Earth and Early Life, and Life in Crisiswill be featured on the second floor, while the popular natureand biodiversity galleries will continue to be located here aswell. Some perennial favourites—the Ancient World (Egypt,Greece, and Rome) and the Samuel European Galleries—willremain on the third floor, augmented by Byzantium and a newWorld Arts and Design gallery.

Wherever possible, exhibit spaces and designs in the her-itage buildings will use natural light and reopen the originalopen windows, arched ceilings, and other architectural featuresthat have been largely hidden from view for years.These her-itage restorations are the focus of phase two and will be fullycompleted by December 2006.

Staffing was enhanced by a contribution of over 6,200volunteer hours. Summer Club continues to draw praise fromparents with comments like: “I rave about the ROM SummerClub to friends. Incredibly well run.” Generously supported bythe Imperial Oil Foundation.

Almost 600 registrations were received for March Break Campand Saturday Morning Club this year. Several new courses metpositive reviews, including “Art to Go” and “The Amazing ROMRace.” Comments from program evaluations included:“It’s greatto have a program that captures my son’s imagination and intellectso successfully” and “My child absolutely loves coming here.”Gener-ously supported by the Philip and Berthe Morton Foundation.

ROMLifeAs popular as ever, the ROMLife programs attracted nearly8,000 registrants, thanks to a more refined and focused set ofofferings, including lectures, workshops, and classes in the gal-leries. Particularly notable was the Institute of ContemporaryCulture’s Architecture Rampant series, featuring Bruce Mau,Phyllis Lambert, and Daniel Libeskind.

Discovery GalleryCelebrating its 25th anniversary in 2003, the Discovery Gallerycontinued to be a favourite of the ROM’s youngest visitors,hosting 180,000 visitors between July and the end of March.The gallery was closed for renovations on March 31, 2003, andthe new CIBC Discovery Room will reopen in an interimlocation in March 2004.

Hands-on BiodiversityIn this popular gallery, over 70 volunteers work alongside part-time staff. The team partnered with curators and communitypartners to pilot special programming on such topics as Backyard

Biodiversity and Invasive Species, adding new activities foryoung visitors less than five years of age.The relocated VietnameseMossy Frog terrarium has become a new gallery highlight.Hands-on Biodiversity has succeeded in attracting family visitorssince the closure of the Discovery Gallery.

Department of Museum VolunteersThe 610 members of the ROM’s Department of MuseumVolunteers (DMV) remained active in 2003.The DMV makesfinancial gifts to various sections of the Museum each year andcontributes almost $2 million annually in volunteer time.

DMV members worked in a variety of areas: assisting at majorexhibitions and in curatorial and other offices;helping with MarchBreak, ROM Friday Nights, and ROM Sundays; working withthe Owls and Explorers programs; volunteering in the Hands-onBiodiversity and Discovery galleries; and arranging seasonaldecorations in the ROM’s Rotunda.The touring section, con-sisting of 150 of the department’s volunteers, offered education-al tours of the Museum in a variety of languages and guided vis-itors on special walks in the city core.The 75 volunteers in thetravel section organized and led seven trips to exotic locationsaround the world, along with 13 day trips in the Toronto region.Three affiliated committees—the Bishop White Committee(Far Eastern), the Textile and Costume Committee (TEX-CO),and the Friends of the Canadian Collections at the ROM(FCC)—continued special programming and fundraising forthe Museum.The DMV organized the 11th Annual Studies inSilver Lecture and the 13th Annual Decorative Arts three-daysymposium at the Museum. The ROM Reproductions Shop,which will remain open during Renaissance ROM, had an out-standing year financially, introducing several new products.

Three new initiatives this year were the establishment of aDemographics Committee, charged with increasing the diversityof the volunteer base; a pledge to raise $1 million for RenaissanceROM, in addition to the regular generous gifts from individualvolunteers; and a “meeters and greeters” program to welcomeROM visitors.

Renaissance ROM Curatorial staff were deeply involved in gallery planning anddesign, with 20 new or redesigned galleries in development.Atthe end of 2002/2003, teams were nearing the end of conceptdesign and beginning schematic design and text writing.

COLLECTIONS

In preparation for the movement of objects and dismantling ofgalleries associated with Renaissance ROM, several collectionspaces underwent major renovations and upgrades of storagefacilities, including Canadian paintings, prints, and drawingsfrom the Department of Western Art and Culture as well as col-lections from Textiles, Anthropology, and Botany. A specializedstorage facility was completed for the ROM’s alcohol-preservedcollections in the new off-site storage building in Oakville.

Several important objects and collections were acquired,notably the world’s largest fossil sea scorpion, a 420-million-year-old composite specimen of Pterygotus buffaloensis, measur-ing more than seven feet from tip to tail that is now on displaynext to the Maiasaur Project on the second floor.Through thecontinuing gifts of Mr. Noah Torno and his late wife, Rose, theROM obtained several other important artifacts, including fineexamples of 18th-century painted Chinese wallpaper and fineEuropean furniture.

COLLECTIONS AND RESEARCH

The world’s largest sea scorpion fossil, a seven-foot Pterygotus buffaloensis, is now on display.

RESEARCH

Fieldwork Curators conducted fieldwork in more than 25 countries andregions spanning the globe, from Argentina to New Zealandand from China to the Yukon. In keeping with the ROM’s dualmandate to study world cultures and natural history, projectsranged from archaeological excavations in central China inadvance of flooding from the huge Three Gorges Dam on theYangtze River to studying the behaviour, genetics, and conser-vation of Red Knots shorebirds on their migratory route fromthe Canadian Arctic to the southern tip of South America.

Research While significant staff time was devoted to developing new gal-leries, curatorial research remained the core curatorial activity.Significant enhancements to the museum’s cutting-edgeLaboratory of Molecular Systematics, including the addition ofa high-capacity automated DNA sequencing machine, will beenabled through an external grant and internal renovationfunds. Preparations for moving the ROM’s Jack SatterlyGeochronology Laboratory to the University of Toronto werecompleted. This laboratory will be replaced by the curatorialprogram of the incoming Curator of Mineralogy, while main-taining collaboration with the geochronology unit. Highlightsof the art and archaeology research program include new pub-lications by Ross Fox, Associate Curator, Western Art andCulture (on Canadian silver), and Deepali Dewan, Curator ofSouth Asian Art, Near Eastern and Asian Civilizations (on19th- and 20th-century Indian and South Asian culture).

FundingThe ROM’s research continues to be supported largely byexternal funding. More than $1 million in outside grants wasawarded to curatorial staff, including a $250,000 grant from theCanadian Foundation for Innovation to Jean-Marc Moncalvo,Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Biology, for labora-tory equipment and facilities in support of his outstandingresearch on the evolutionary biology of fungi.

StaffIn early June 2003, the Museum was pleased to appoint MarkEngstrom as Vice-President, Collections and Research (VPC&R), for a five-year term. Dr. Engstrom had been serving asinterim VP C&R since the departure of Hans-Dieter Sues inDecember 2002. Dr. Engstrom’s combination of academicstature, management expertise, and vision for the future ofcuratorial departments will prove invaluable in contributing togallery development in Renaissance ROM and the evolutionof strategic plans for the curatorial division.

During 2002/2003, the ROM was pleased to welcome twonew curators: Dr. Robert P. Little,The Mona Campbell Curatorof European Decorative Arts, a specialist in European decora-tive arts; and Dr. Jean-Marc Moncalvo, Centre for Biodiversityand Conservation Biology, a specialist in fungal systematics.

The Museum’s departing VP C&R, Hans Sues, was electeda Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in recognition of hisoutstanding and innovative research in vertebrate paleontologyduring his scientific career at the ROM. He was one of only 60Canadians to receive this prestigious honour in 2003.

THE ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUMNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, JUNE 30, 2003

1. GeneralThe Royal Ontario Museum [the “Museum”] is an operating enterpriseagency of the Province of Ontario incorporated without share capital bySpecial Act of the Ontario Legislature. The Museum is Canada’s largestmuseum and one of the few of its kind to explore and exhibit both the artand archaeology of human cultures and the history of the natural world.The Museum’s mission is to inspire wonder and build understanding ofhuman cultures and the natural world.

The Museum is registered as a charitable organization under the IncomeTax Act (Canada) [the “Act”] and, as such, is exempt from income taxes andis able to issue donation receipts for income tax purposes. In order to main-tain its status as a registered charity under the Act, the Museum must meetcertain requirements within the Act. In the opinion of management, theserequirements have been met.

2. Renaissance ROM ProjectThe Board of Trustees has approved phase I of a major redevelopment proj-ect for the Museum [“Renaissance ROM Project”]. The project will becompleted in two phases with a total estimated cost of $200 million beforefinancing and fundraising costs.The first phase, with a total cost of $150million, is planned for completion in December 2005. Phase II will cost anadditional $50 million and is scheduled to be completed one year later.Thetotal project involves the construction and restoration of the original build-ings as well as 40,000 square feet of new gallery spaces. Renaissance ROMwill permanently alter the Museum’s economic base, providing additionalannual market income to sustain excellence across the board.

Funding for this project will come from the public and private sectors.Todate the Museum has received commitments from the federal and provincialgovernments of $60 million.The balance will be funded through a fundrais-ing campaign. As at June 30, 2003, the Museum has spent $22.9 million[2002 - $1.6 million] on the project which is recorded on the balance sheetas capital assets.

In anticipation of the project, the remaining life of certain capital assetswas reduced and, as a result, effective in fiscal 2002, the amortization peri-od of these assets was revised accordingly. In addition, amortization of therelated deferred capital contribution was revised.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesThe financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadiangenerally accepted accounting principles applied within the framework ofthe significant accounting policies summarized below:

Revenue recognitionThe Museum follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions,which include donations and government grants. Contributions are recog-nized as revenue when received or receivable if the amount to be receivedcan be reasonably estimated and collection reasonably assured. Donationsare recorded on a cash basis since pledges are not legally enforceable claims.

Contributions externally restricted for purposes other than endowmentare deferred and recognized as revenue in the year in which the relatedexpenses are recognized. Externally restricted contributions for the pur-chase of land are credited directly to “invested in capital assets”. Externallyrestricted contributions for the purchase of other capital assets are deferredand amortized over the life of the related capital asset. Endowment contri-butions are recognized as direct increases in net assets in the year in whichthey are received.

InvestmentsInvestments are recorded at market value. Investment income consists ofinterest, dividends, realized gains (losses) and the net change in unrealizedgains and losses.

InventoriesInventories, which consist primarily of gift shop items held for sale, publi-cations and supplies, are stated at the lower of average cost and net realiz-able value.

Deferred exhibitions and other costsCosts of exhibitions are deferred until the exhibitions are opened to the publicand then are expensed over the period of the exhibitions to which they relate.

Page 41: l SPARKING THE RENAISSANCE Royal Ontario Museum l Annual ... · Collections and Research 16 Donors,Patrons,Sponsors 18 ROM Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report 35 ROM Foundation

Employee benefit plansThe Museum accrues its obligations under employee benefit plans andrelated costs, net of plan assets.The cost of pensions and other retirementbenefits earned by employees is actuarially determined using the projectedbenefit method prorated on service and management’s best estimate ofexpected plan investment performance, salary escalation, retirement ages ofemployees, and expected health care costs. For the purpose of calculatingthe expected return on plan assets, those assets are valued at a market-relat-ed value whereby investment gains and losses are recognized over a three-year period. Employee future benefit liabilities are discounted using currentinterest rates on long-term bonds.

The transitional asset (obligation), the impact of any change to plan pro-visions and the excess of the cumulative net actuarial gain (loss) over 10%of the greater of the benefit obligations and the market-related value of theplan assets are amortized over the average remaining service period of activeemployees. The average remaining service period of the active employeescovered by the pension plan is 12 years.The average remaining service periodof the active employees covered by other retirement benefit plans is 17 years.

Capital assetsLand is carried at cost. Purchased capital assets are stated at acquisition cost.Contributed capital assets are recorded at fair market value at the date ofcontribution.Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the esti-mated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Building 40 yearsGalleries 20 yearsBuilding improvements 5 to 10 yearsFurniture and equipment 3 to 10 years

Artifacts and specimensThe value of artifacts and specimens has been excluded from the balancesheet. Gifted artifacts and specimens are recorded as revenue at values basedon appraisals by independent appraisers.The acquisition of both gifted andpurchased artifacts and specimens is expensed.

Use of estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generallyaccepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates andassumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and thedisclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial

statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during thereporting period.Acutal amounts could differ from those estimates.

Contributed materials and servicesBecause of the difficulty in determining their fair market value, contributedmaterials and services are not recognized in the financial statements.

During the year, $3,795,000 of funds available at a future date became avail-able currently.The Board of Directors approved the transfer of this balanceto the Endowment Fund. Of this amount, $1,018,000 was added to inter-nally endowed restricted funds and $2,777,000 was added to internallyendowed unrestricted funds [note 7].

5. Endowment FundThe Endowment Fund consists of amounts subject to donor- and Board-imposed restrictions stipulating that the principal be maintained intact andthe income used in accordance with the various purposes established by thedonor or the Board.

Effective July 1, 2001, the Foundation’s Board established a new policywith the objective of protecting the real value of the Endowment Fund bylimiting the amount of income made available for spending and requiringthe unexpended income to be added to the Endowment Fund capital.Effective July 1, 2002, the amount available for spending is calculated basedon 5% of the market value of individual funds, with 3.75% available forgrants and 1.25% for administrative expenses of the Unrestricted Fund. Infiscal 2002, the calculation was based on 6%.

In any particular year, should net investment income be insufficient tofund the amount to be made available for spending or should the invest-ment return be negative, the amount that is made available for spending isfunded by the accumulated reinvested income. However, for individualendowment funds without sufficient accumulated reinvestment income,endowment capital is used in the current year.This amount is expected tobe recovered by future net investment income.

In fiscal 2003, there was an investment loss of $243,000 [2002 - $695,000]that was deducted from the Endowment Fund balance. Since there was noinvestment income to fund the amount available for spending of $456,000[2002 - $584,000], a transfer from the Endowment Fund of this amountwas recorded in the statement of revenue, expenses and changes in fund balances with $149,000 [2002 - $187,000] being transferred to theUnrestricted Fund and $307,000 [2002 - $397,000] being transferred to theRestricted Fund.
