Registered as THE MEDICINE HAT MUSICAL THEATRE
$380,638
$254,572
It took in $126,066 more than it spent, and retained the difference. Neither is good or bad on its own — charities hold reserves, run capital campaigns, and spend down endowments, and the return does not say which.

The period marked above (2019) did not cover about twelve months. A charity that changes its fiscal year end files a shorter or longer transitional return, so a figure for that period is smaller or larger because of its length — not because the charity did less or more.

This charity did not report charitable programs and management and administration figures. That is not the same as zero. Only one charity in five reports a fundraising figure at all, and the return does not require it.
The Medicine Hat Musical Theatre reported spending 100.0% of its expenditure on charitable programs. Among the 1,306 charities registered under education in the arts that reported the same line for 2021, the middle of the range is 81.3%, and this charity sits at the 90th percentile — above 90% of them.
That is a position in a distribution, not a verdict. Charities allocate costs differently on the same form, and a lower share often reflects how a return was filled in rather than how the money was spent. The cohort counts only charities that reported this line — about a quarter of the register does not, and they are not in the comparison at all.
The most recent return this charity has filed — not its position today. Charities have six months to file and the CRA publishes annually.
These are the charity’s own figures. A surprising figure is at least as likely to be a filing error as a finding.
