Lake Trail Community Education Society is a charitable organization based in Courtenay, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under support of schools and education. It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending July 31, 2024, it reported $146K in revenue and $161K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 14% from donations, 63% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $12K.
Compared with 1,540 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 54% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $40,000–79,999 range. The charity reported 1 permanent full-time position.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $90K in 2021 to $146K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 7 names.
