AUDITORS' REPORT
To the members of
CANADIAN FALLEN FIREFIGHTERS FOUNDATION
We have audited the statement of financial position of Canadian Fallen Firefighters Foundation as at
December 31, 2008 and the statements of operations and changes in net assets and cash flows for the
year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Foundation's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those
standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation.
In common with many charitable organizations, the foundation derives revenues from the general public in
the form of donations, the completeness of which is not susceptible to satisfactory audit verification.
Accordingly, our verification of these revenues was limited to the amounts recorded in the records of the
foundation and we were not able to determine whether any adjustments might be necessary to donation
revenues, net revenues, assets, liabilities and net assets.
In our opinion, except for the effect of adjustments, if any, which we might have determined to be
necessary had we been able to satisfy ourselves concerning the completeness of the donations referred
to in the preceding paragraph, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Foundation as at December 31, 2008 and the results of its operations and
changes in net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally
accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The Foundation is a charity registered with Canada Revenue Agency and incorporated under the
provisions of The Canada Corporations Act. The Foundation's principal purpose is to receive and
maintain a fund for the establishment and maintenance of the Canadian Fallen Firefighters' Memorial; to
plan, direct and manage an annual Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service; to provide financial assistance
to families of fallen firefighters for transportation and lodging during the annual memorial service, to
provide additional financial assistance to the families of fallen firefighters when warranted, and to
otherwise recognize firefighters who die in the line of duty.
The Foundation maintains its head office in Ottawa, Ontario.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue recognition
Revenue from advertising contracts is recognized over the term of the contract. Revenue from
donations is recognized upon receipt and revenue from investments is recognized as earned. The
Foundation follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions. Restricted contributions are
recognized as revenue in the year in which related expenses are incurred. Unrestricted contributions are
recognized as revenue when received or receivable if the amount to be received can be reasonably
estimated and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Revenue from souvenir sales are recognized once the goods are sold.
Investments
The Foundation classifies its investments as held to maturity and records them at amortized cost using
the effective interest method. The purchase and sale of investments are accounted for using settlement
date accounting. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition of investments and investment
management fees are expensed as incurred.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value with cost determined substantially on a
first-in, first-out basis.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

3. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY
Effective January 1, 2008, the company adopted the provisions of the Canadian Institute of Chartered
Accountants (CICA) Handbook section 3031 (Inventories) which establishes more extensive guidance
on the determination of cost and expands the disclosure requirements. The new section requires:
· Measurement of inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value
· Use of specific identification method when the inventory items are not ordinarily in
