Is there another Canadian genealogy society in financial trouble?

 On my trip around the web this morning checking on different genealogical societies, I came across a Demolish the Deficit Fund on the Saskatchewan Genealogical Society site at http://www.saskgenealogy.com/

There is a thermometer on site showing $ O to $40,000 and the goal is to raise $12,000 in 2015.

Has it come to this in Canada? That a genealogical society has to appeal for donations in order to Demolish the Deficit??? If this is it, be forward that we may be in for some rough times in the future.

I’ll be keeping my eye on their efforts to raise the money, and report back if there are any changes.
