Recovery and
resilience in a
time of crisis
With the support of generous donors and partners like
you, Diabetes Canada continued to lead the fight against
diabetes in 2020, despite the many challenges that the
COVID-19 pandemic created.
In a year of crisis, when people affected by diabetes needed the support of
Diabetes Canada more than ever, we quickly responded—with valued resources
and new programs and services.
Here are just a few examples:
• Our new Diabetes Education Line, in collaboration with volunteer Certified
Diabetes Educators (CDEs), supported almost 200 people with concerns and
questions related to COVID-19.
• To assist people looking for information about diabetes management amid
the pandemic, Diabetes Canada hosted 23 patient-facing webinars in nine
languages that had more than 33,000 views in total.
• A new COVID-19 section on the Diabetes Canada website shared accurate
and up-to-date information for health-care providers, and people living
diabetes and their caregivers.
• Diabetes Canada collaborated with Health Canada and various diabetes
partners to protect Canada’s insulin supply during COVID-19.
• We launched Dose of D-Camps, five free virtual one-week programs for
children and youth affected by type 1 diabetes that were attended by more
than 430 campers.
• Featuring 22 expert speakers and 24 interactive chat rooms, the inaugural
virtual No Limits with T1D conference hosted more than 2,200 people from
the type 1 diabetes community.
• In our first nation-wide virtual fundraising event, Lace Up for Diabetes,
people from across Canada laced up their shoes to walk, run, dance, bike or
hike 10 km to help raise awareness about diabetes and funds in support of
people living with the disease. Thank you to our sponsors and participants
who raised $150,000 – exceeding our goal by $50,000.

2020 Impact Report Diabetes Canada 15INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Members of Canadian Diabetes Association (o/a Diabetes Canada)
Opinion
The summary financial statements, which comprise the summary statement of financial position as at December
31, 2020, and the summary statements of revenue and expenses, changes in fund balances and cash flows for
the year then ended, and related notes, are derived from the audited financial statements of Canadian Diabetes
Association (o/a Diabetes Canada) (the “Organization”) for the year ended December 31, 2020.
In our opinion, the accompanying summary financial statements are a fair summary of the financial statements,
in accordance with the basis described in Note 1 to the summary audited financial statements. However, we were
not able to determine if any adjustments to the summary financial statements were necessary for the reasons
described in The Audited Financial Statements and Our Report Thereon section of this audit report.
Summary Financial Statements
The summary financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required by Canadian accounting standards
for not-for-profit organizations. Reading the summary financial statements and the auditor’s report thereon,
therefore, is not a substitute for reading the Organization’s audited financial statements and the auditor’s report
thereon. The summary financial statements and the audited financial statements do not reflect the effects of
events that occurred subsequent to the date of our report on the audited financial statements.
The Audited Financial Statements and Our Report Thereon
In our report dated March 18, 2021, we expressed a qualified audit opinion on the audited financial statements
because we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the completeness of revenue
from donations, bequests and other fundraising activities, which is common with many charitable organizations.
Management’s Responsibility for the Summary Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of the summary financial statements in accordance with the basis
described in Note 1 to the summary financial statements.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on whether the summary financial statements are a fair summary of
the audited financial statements based on our procedures, which were conducted in accordance with Canadian
Auditing Standard (CAS) 810, Engagements to Report on Summary Financial Statements.
