This.year.marks.the.last.year.of.my.Presidency ..Over.my.six-year.term,.I.have.witnessed.the.dedication.and.energy.that.the.Society.can.bring.to.bear.to.successfully.face.new.challenges ..I’ve.been.privileged.to.be.part.of.the.Society’s.double.80th.anniversaries.in.2009.and.2010,.and.I.am.certain.that.the.Society.will.continue.to.fulfill.its.mandate.“to.make.Canada.better.known.to.Canadians.and.to.the.world”.for.another.80.years .

Similar.to.most.other.media.organizations,.CGE.has.been.severely.affected.by.deteriorating.print.and.online.advertising.revenues.caused.by.the.world-wide.recession ..The.impact.of.the.resulting.drop.in.revenues.was.largely.offset.by.a.number.of.custom.publishing.projects.with.outside.partners.such.as..Parks.Canada,.the.Canadian.Navy.and.the.Canadian.International.Polar.Year.program .

The.success.achieved.in.developing.custom.publishing.projects.helped.offset.declining.revenues.while.supporting.the.Society’s.mission.of.“making.Canada.better.known.to.Canadians”.and,.perhaps.more.importantly,.also.pointed.to.a.new.and.sustainable.revenue.source.for.CGE .

Not.only.did.CGE.aggressively.pursue.new.revenue.opportunities,.it.also.implemented.extensive.cost.control.initiatives.and.maintained.salary.restrictions.and.the.suspension.of.RRSP.contributions.throughout.the.year.with.the.result.that.year-over-year.expenses.were.nearly.half.a.million.dollars.lower.than.in.the.previous.fiscal.year .

Canadian Geographic MagazineSix.issues.of.Canadian Geographic,.four.of.Canadian Geographic Travel.and.two.of.Géographica,.along.with.three.two-sided.poster.maps,.were.published.during.the.year,.making.it.one.of.the.most.productive.years.on.record.for.CGE.staff.in.all.departments .

The.January/February.2010.issue.focused.on.the.legacy.of.the.International.Polar.Year ..It.was.entirely.dedicated.to.polar.research.and.was.accompanied.by.a.matching.issue.of.Géographica ..This.significant.undertaking,.which.included.a.web-based.interactive.map.showing.all.research.projects.undertaken.in.the.Arctic.during.IPY,.was.supported.by.the.Canadian.International.Polar.Year.program .

The.March.issue.of.Canadian Geographic Travel,.which.presented.a.number.of.national.parks.located.near.major.urban.centers,.also.had.a.companion.issue.of.Géographica.which.was.made.possible.with.support.from.Parks.Canada .
