Thank you to all Vincentians across Ontario for the amazing work you do to help our friends in need throughout the entire year. A special thank you for all your efforts and hard work with the Christmas programs to help make Christmas a little brighter for many families, individuals and children.

Here is a Christmas message from our National President, Jean-Noel Cormier


It is again that time to start preparing your annual reports to ensure they are sent to ONRC by the required deadline dates. Please help to ensure that all Conferences send annual reports to their Particular Councils by January 31, 2017. Particular Councils are then required to send annual reports to their Central Council or ONRC by February 28, 2017. Please note that Particular Councils in Windsor, Toronto, Huronia, St. Catharines and Ottawa send annual reports to their Central Council. All other Particular Councils send annual reports to ONRC by February 28, 2017. Central Councils are required to send their annual reports to ONRC by March 20, 2017.

Once ONRC receives all annual reports from Isolated Conferences, Particular Councils and Central Councils, we consolidate to complete the ONRC report which we must send to National by March 30, 2017. We will also prepare a summary of activities happening throughout Ontario to share with all Conferences and Councils in May.

You may ask why we need to fill out these annual reports. We use these reports to inform the public on what we have accomplished, where and how donation dollars are spent, in addition to using the information as leverage to apply for grants and speak out on advocacy issues.

You can find the annual reports and guidelines on national's website.

Please open the link and save the file to your computer BEFORE entering any information on the form, otherwise it may not save properly.
