The organization over time

Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from C$25M to C$27M (+6%).
How it's funded, over time

Government-grant reliance: 2017 2% · 2018 1% · 2019 1% · 2020 0% · 2021 13% · 2024 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.
