sarc financial highlights SARC saw a decrease in grant funding for both operation and project grants and had to manage accordingly. Education & Training revenue and expenses can vary from year to year due to registration numbers and timing of events. In 2016, there were a high number of Leap registrations due to the availability of the CanSask Job Grant and in 2017, registrations were down from the year before. Education & Training expenses for the year included costs for updating the Med Assist content and online platform. Member Association Activity, the work SARC does on behalf of the Members, primarily with provincial government, and expenses can vary from year to year. The increase over 2016 was due to work done with the Partnership Committee, the CBO Sustainability Project and the CPP & SP Committee, as well as increased legal costs related to global Membership concerns. The increase in Administration expenses was largely due to required building repairs and an increase in property taxes. Other revenues decreased, as we were no longer receiving administration fees for the operation of The Unified Dairy Recycling System (UDRS). SARC Bark was wound down September 30, 2015 and therefore there was no activity during the current year.
