Shawnigan Lake School is a charitable organization based in Shawnigan Lake, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under teaching institutions. 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 June 30, 2024, it reported $46.5M in revenue and $56.5M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 21% from other charities. In 2024, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $10.8M.
Compared with 733 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 7% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $350,000 and over range. The charity reported 230 permanent full-time positions.
