SARC Annual Report 2015-2016
Message from the Executive Director and Board President This was another year of growth for SARC and its divisions. We planned, developed and designed new programs and services and worked at maintaining the ones we’ve developed over the last few years as we wrap up our 20122016 strategic plan. The year was spent winding down, but also looking to the future with bright eyes and enthusiasm, as we put pen to paper to plan our next four-year vision. Officially, the new strategic plan will not launch until the 2016-2017 fiscal year; however, we spent time in the 2015-2016 year planning and preparing for what is to come. As we wind down the 2012-2016 strategic plan, we can’t help but be impressed by the work that has been accomplished. When we started working on the plan in 2011, we considered it to be ambitious and daunting, but we plugged away, year by year. Now that we can reflect on it, we can see not only the volume of the work accomplished, but the value of it as well.
Through developing leadership programs, we learned about leading ourselves. Through working with government on the CBO Sustainability Project, it has been front and centre how important communitybased organizations are in their communities. Through working on gaining efficiencies, creating new programs and implemented new technology at our recycling depots, we understood the deep roots of SARCAN in Saskatchewan. Like the Roughriders and Telemiracle, we are unique to Saskatchewan, and we embrace it. Whether you’re in a Member Agency, a depot or attending a professional development event, we are part of a strong and connected network. As the 2012-2016 strategic plan progressed, SARC and SARCAN Recycling became more visible with new branding, more sophisticated with new services and programs, and more efficient by reviewing what we do and how we do it. We did all this, and will continue to do so, to respect what we have built
together and keep it strong. In some ways, the SARC network feels like a family in the sense that we have the feeling of comfort and security developed from years of history mixed with the anticipation and excitement of what’s on the horizon, and how we will continue to work together to build our legacy into the future. That’s what our next cycle of strategic planning will be focused on: maturing and growing, while still taking the time to enjoy the incredible network we are all part of across Saskatchewan. Whether you’re in a Member Agency, attending a conference or working at depot - or even bringing your recycling to one you are part of something you will only find in Saskatchewan. Our Membership consists of 36 Regular Members, 39 Associate Members and 12 Affiliate Members - a grand total of 87 Members across the province! -Amy McNeil and Brian Haswell

SARC Annual Report 2015-2016
Leading by LEAPing SARC’s second year of the Leadership Excellence Advancement Program (LEAP) started in September 2015 with nearly 40 people from 20 organizations across Saskatchewan representing the disability services, child and family programs, and education sectors. With one group in Saskatoon and one in Regina, each met almost monthly throughout the year to participate in eight engaging and interactive sessions These sessions were filled with practical information, principles, best practices, and tips to give up and coming and current non-profit leaders the opportunity to increase leadership and management skills in an environment that fosters small group discussion, networking with peers, and continuous learning. New for this year was a partnership between SARC and the Ministry of the Economy to create an application form for the Canada-Saskatchewan Job Grant that would be specific to LEAP. Many organizations were approved for the grant, which covered two-thirds of the total training cost (more if considered a “small” employer). This funding support was very much appreciated. This arrangement will be continuing for the 2016-2017 LEAP year as well.

Feedback from LEAPers
LEAP Sessions: • How Managers Communicate and Lead • Recruitment and Retention • Fostering an Effective Team • Employee/Labour Relations Basics • Employee Accountability • Legislation Impacting the Employment Relationship • Governance • Public and Government Relations
Peer to Peer Learning LEAP is a great opportunity to learn not only from the session content but from each other as well
Networking The opportunity to network really added value and enriched the learning process; it was nice to hear that others were going through the same things and it didn’t matter where they were located or how big/small their organization was
Best Practices Each area gave awareness and opportunity to improve skills and develop better practices within the organization
Resources The Learner Handbooks are well put together – good content, well written, and a good reference

EmployLink Launched SARC created a network and website to link job seekers of all abilities to employment. In October 2015, SARC launched the EmployLink CBO network and website resources for job seekers and educators in conjunction with Disability Employment Awareness Month. The employer resources will be launched later in 2016, and we look forward to connecting employers to the growing EmployLink membership. CBOs can participate by becoming members of EmployLink. As members, they can: • Be connected to each other to share information across
the province • Have access to various learning and development opportunities (ex. Annette Borrows spoke to EmployLink members in March 2016 about “Reaching the CORE of Supported Employment”) • Receive a 10% discount for all registrations for SARC’s three supported employment one-day training events • Be listed on the EmployLink website so that job seekers, educators, and employers can easily access them for support.

Consultation Services Timely advice and support when our Members need it most.
Our human resources, labour relations, and facility planning consultation services saw an increase in the number of SARC Members accessing support from the previous year in addition to being involved in projects that were provincial in scope for the benefit of all Member Agencies. Our Members continue to express their appreciation for these services, which provide them with convenient access to expertise and advice to assist them in making informed decisions. While there will always be a need for additional resources at particular times (i.e., legal advice, involvement of engineer or architect), the time and cost savings for the sector through SARC’s consultation services are significant. This past year was another busy one for SARC’s staff providing one-on-one support to Members.

CBO Sustainability Project Progress The CBO Sustainability Project was initiated in 2014-2015 as a multi-year plan aimed to create long-term sustainability, healthy growth, and effective service delivery for CBOs that deliver residential and day program services for individuals with intellectual disabilities and critical in-home support, residential, and counselling services for children in need of protection and their families. Deliverables were assigned to five task teams from the Ministry of Social Services, SARC, SARC Member Agencies, and CBOs funded by Child & Family Programs. In 2015-2016, the CBO Sustainability Project task teams were able to move through the “familiarization” stage of understanding the similarities and differences between the Community Living Service Delivery (CLSD) CBO sector and Child & Family Programs (CFP) CBO sector to drafting work in support of their assigned deliverables. Governance: • Examined best practices and information about key competencies of high-performing Boards; governance models; Board recruitment, assessment, and monitoring; and professional development • Forwarded information to other task teams to support them in their work (i.e., Quality Assurance) • Work of this group is nearing completion and awaiting approval Outcomes Based Service Delivery: • Identified the logic model
of how outcomes are achieved in order to better understand how to create a true outcome statement • Created initial drafts of outcome statements specific to CLSD Quality Assurance: • Compared current standards in place for CFP and CLSD CBOs, noting that there will be a need to have unique standards for each sector in particular areas • Identified how standards relate to outcomes to ensure work would not be contradictory to that of the Outcomes Based Service Delivery task team • Created initial drafts of standards statements Shared Services: • Created list of possible opportunities for CBOs to utilize “group buying power” and access services more efficiently • Created a decisionmaking matrix in order
•
to determine which opportunities may be viable and worth further exploration Started the process of applying the decisionmaking matrix to identified opportunities
Attraction, Retention, and Compensation: • Became operational in Fall 2015; was able to work until all task team work was put on hold from February-April 2016 due to the provincial election • Identified short-term and long-term deliverables related to CBO staffing complements, core standardized training, salary funding standards, and human resource management support strategies 2016-2017 should bring the opportunity for CBO engagement, and SARC looks forward to seeing the draft work vetted by our Members.

Safety Leadership and Partnerships The growth and development of safety leadership at SARC and its Members continued to be a top priority in 2015-2016 SARC held its Safety Symposium in November 2015 at the Regina Travelodge Hotel and hosted 75 people from across the province. Attendees were able to choose four sessions to attend from 13 concurrent sessions as well as opening and closing keynote addresses. Sessions appealed to all levels of workers and managers in community-based organizations and included information on mental health and addictions in the workplace, safe lifting, violence in the workplace, an update on the new Saskatchewan Legislation, working alone, and distracted driving. There were also several exhibitor booths that featured products, services, and resources for safety at work and at home. Throughout the year, SARC’s certified PART and TLR Instructor held train-the-trainer and recertification sessions resulting in six new PART trainers, five recertified PART trainers, 25 new TLR trainers, and 12 recertified TLR trainers. In addition, SARC’s Instructor directly trained 32 employees at Member Agencies
across the province. In growing our own safety leadership, SARC has appreciated the support and partnerships with various safety organizations and associations. We were very pleased to be asked by the Service and Hospitality Safety Association of Saskatchewan (SHSA) to have a SARC representative serve on their Board of Directors; our Facilitator of Training & Education, who is also the Employee Co-Chair of SARC’s Occupational Health & Safety Committee, joined the SHSA Board in March 2016. We are very proud to be part of an organization that helps build leaders with safety as a core value who are equipped, empowered, and motivated to make change. SARC believes that a culture of safety-consciousness not only contributes to an organization’s risk management program but more importantly values everyone involved in the organization – employees, volunteers, and people receiving services.

SARCAN Recycling Year in Review SARCAN Recycling is a socially responsible and environmentally progressive recycling system which helps foster the sustainable development of communities across Saskatchewan. Since 1988, our team of dedicated recyclers succeeds in providing a progressive and sustainable recycling system for beverage containers, paint and electronics for the people of Saskatchewan. SARCAN Recycling is a values-based organization, and it shows in everything that we do. In the 2015-2016 year, SARCAN undertook a revitalization of our “Three E’s” mandate to make the language more relevant to our work. Our refreshed mandate is Social Responsibility, Environmental Sustainability and Community Building, with a core set of values that helps define each of our pillars.

SARC Annual Report 2015-2016
We Value Social Responsibility We are a team made up of people of all abilities in communities across Saskatchewan SARCAN Recycling is made up of more than 600 employees, at 72 depots, two processing plants, and one central office. Our teams represents the diversity of Saskatchewan, including people of all abilities and many different backgrounds. This past year, we were very proud to add a brand new depot, with a six-member team of recyclers, in the community of Buffalo Narrows. This new depot is the 64th Saskatchewan community
the development of safe work spaces and prevent injuries from occurring. As a result of our efforts, including a systemwide training session on safe work practices, we experienced a 77% reduction last year in work days lost due to injury. We are continuously improving our facilities to create more safe, open, and efficient work spaces, which this year included expanding our Regina Processing Plant, and relocating our Indian Head, Regina- Victoria East, Strasbourg, and Watson depots. This year SARCAN also began a comprehensive review of all of our policies and procedures, with intent of further promoting safety at all levels. We strive to create a customer experience that treats all customers across Saskatchewan fairly and equally
with a SARCAN depot, and its presence will ensure better recycling services in the north. We are committed to the creation and preservation of safe work spaces SARCAN Recycling is focused on continuously monitoring our work practices to foster
Customer service is the most important facet of our business, and we continually make strides to improve our customer service and standardize the customer experience across the province. In addition to our annual secret shopper program which tests the levels of service
provided by depots, the entire depot system participated in customer service training this past year. The phased-in installation of our new Point of Sale (POS) terminals is streamlining the cash payment process, helping to reduce errors in payouts and increase the transparency. Our successes are measured not just by our current customers, but also by enhancing our services to attract the recyclables not making it to our depots. Our new Drop n Go system is being rolled out across Saskatchewan over the next two years, and is designed to provide an option to the non-SARCAN customer who is unwilling to wait in line for their deposit refund. By the end of last year, Drop n Go systems were in place at 18 depots, with another 24 scheduled for installation in 2016-2017.

Landfill Diversion This past year, SARCAN helped divert 47,920,154 pounds of materials from our landfills, preserving valuable resources for remanufacturing and new products.
Reuse and Recycle Along with our recycling efforts, we actively encourage the reuse of materials destined for recycling, including SARCAN’s popular glass bottle initiative and paint reuse program.
Energy Conservation SARCAN’s recycling and reuse efforts conserve 749,126 BTUs of energy each year, enough energy savings to power 6,809 homes for a year - the equivalent size of Moose Jaw!
Greenhouse Gases Our work over the past year helped prevent the emission of 49,079 metric tonnes of greenhouse gases, the equivalent of taking 10,332 cars off the road per year.

SARC Annual Report 2015-2016
We strive for continuous improvement in our environmental performance. As a leader in environmental protection in Saskatchewan, we recognize the need to continuously lower our impact on the environment. We are actively reducing our energy usage, including switching to more energy efficient buildings and phasing in electric forklifts in place of propane models. These efforts helped us to achieve a 13% reduction in natural gas and 2% reduction in electricity consumption over the previously year. SARCAN is also lowering its emissions and fuel consumption through better beverage container compaction equipment and improved trailer loading techniques. As a result, SARCAN’s greenhouse gas emissions reduced 2.3% from last year, and have lowered 12.6% over the past 4 years. As a leader in waste diversion, SARCAN is also addressing the volume of waste we send to landfill. This year saw our depots and processing plants begin recycling streams for beverage container caps and our internal clear plastic bags and film.
We seek to educate Saskatchewan on the importance of recycling. As a leading authority on the field of recycling in 64 communities, SARCAN annually hosts over 60 tours of depots and plants for schools and community groups. Our resources for teachers include our depot tours, a video walkthrough of the recycling process, and lesson plans on recycling. We have forged partnerships in the education sector with the Saskatchewan Environmental Society and Student Action for Sustainable Future to encourage teachers throughout Saskatchewan to include recycling as an important part of their teachings. SARCAN also continues to educate the public through our membership in Recycle Saskatchewan and through our support for the Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council.

We Value Community Building We are proud to help build our communities by investing in Saskatchewan SARCAN is a Saskatchewan success story because our organization shares in our province’s spirit of collaboration and loyalty. Our focus on sourcing Saskatchewan partners, contractors, and suppliers means that the majority of SARCAN’s annual operating budget is invested in Saskatchewan. By favouring Saskatchewan business and local solutions, 49% of the materials SARCAN collects are broken down and recycled right within Saskatchewan. For example, Potters Industries in Moose Jaw uses SARCAN’s clear glass to create glass beads that are used in highway paint Saskatchewan. Working to build Saskatchewan’s economy and
keep our province a great place to live goes hand in hand with the long-term success of SARCAN. We foster the development of Saskatchewan communities through philanthropy SARCAN gives back to Saskatchewan in some very impressive ways. Once again, we were proud to support Telemiracle and their efforts to provide special needs equipment and improve access to medical treatment across the province. This year, SARCAN staff from across the province raised $52,669.83 for Telemiracle, the most we have raised in a single year to date. Beyond Telemiracle, our depots are connected to local charities and fundraising effort, improving the lives of people in all SARCAN communities.

SARC Financial Highlights One of SARC’s strategic goals is to ensure a sustainable future and that requires responsible financial planning and spending across all divisions. For SARC, the focus for achieving sustainability is on the diversification of our revenue sources. This is being achieved through the expansion of training programs and resource materials that are offered and was reflected during the year with a 50% increase in training and resource revenues – 2016 saw the second year of LEAP which had increased enrolment.
SARC’s operational grant funding remained relatively similar to prior year, while project grants increased as a result of PTC. SETI grants and project funding were a consistent level with prior year. SARC Bark was wound down in September 2016, and the reported results reflect those final costs. Our overall expenses were managed to stay in line with our incoming revenues.

SARC Annual Report 2015-2016
SARCAN Financial Highlights SARCAN Recycling had a record-breaking year with 420.8 million containers returned, the highest number ever. Return rates remain strong at 82.1% overall.
Throughout the year, there were seven months where containers collected were record-high. Sustainability has been a focus the last number of years, and this is being achieved by controlling costs system-wide. 2015-2016 saw an increase in expenses of 4.9%. While higher than increased revenues, this expense still falls in line with increased containers. The total cost per legislated container was 6.9¢ per container versus
6.8¢ per container the previous year. Salvage revenue was down $1.3M in spite of increased volumes and the US exchange rate – this was a result of the decreased prices realized in the salvage markets. Out of our net income of $3.3M, $0.8M was paid out to system stakeholders and a significant amount invested in capital improvement projects, including an expansion to our Regina processing plant and a new point of sale
system. In the nonlegislated program, the decrease in revenue and expenses was due to the disassembly ending in 2015 – as the disassembly operated at a loss in prior year, this had a positive effect on our net income. UDRS is in the process of winding down as a result of milk containers becoming part of the multimaterial stream, with full operations ceasing June 30, 2016. The net income in UDRS is restricted to that program and not for general use.
