Back in 1999, the Board of Directors of Bird Studies Canada adopted a strategic plan to focus the development of BSC under over a 5-year period. The plan organized BSC's development under 4 strategic intents: developing effective national and regional programs covering all bird species; playing a constructive role in collaborative arrangements for bird conservation across Canada and internationally; creating a National Centre for Bird Studies at Long Point, Ontario; and developing BSC's capacity to generate funds to achieve its vision and mission.

For the 2000 calendar year, the Board approved an ambitious operating plan to move the organization forward to reaching its strategic intents. Objectives were set for 177 specific items. BSC's accomplishments in meeting objectives for 2000 can be downloaded as a PDF file with Adobe Acrobat (click here to download a free copy of Adobe Acrobat) or viewed on your browser by clicking here. 

Some of the highlights of the year included:

  • Raising $1.28 million for the new headquarters building and completing the design development phase of architectural planning;
  • Hiring a new Atlantic Programs Manager; Senior Scientist – National Data Centre, and Financial Controller;
  • Improving French language services for participants in Project FeederWatch and Christmas Bird Counts;
  • Completing a scientific review of Long Point programs;
  • Concluding an agreement with the National Audubon Society for the management of Christmas Bird Counts in Canada;
  • Completing essential upgrades on the farmhouse located on the headquarters site and making good progress with site restoration and interpretation;
  • Maintaining an active role in the North American Bird Conservation
    Initiative;
  • Holding a highly successful meeting of coordinators of regional nest recordschemes;
  • Working with 2 PhD, 2 MSc and several undergraduate students; and
  • Revamping our web site and adding new web features (downloadable BSC reports, Bird Links to the World) that greatly increased visitation to and utility of the site.
