We have had a great fourth year at the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law with lots of news to share as you will see within these pages. At the end of 2016, we celebrated the graduation of the Charter Class! In September, our graduates attended for the first time the Law Society of Upper Canada Call to the Bar and we were so proud of them! Now, we are preparing for our second set of graduates who will continue the tradition of exemplary law graduates entering the legal profession. We have grown our student services and staffing at the law school this past year to enhance our delivery of the legal •program. Upon the recommendation of our Aboriginal Advisory Committee, we have in place the new Director of Indigenous Relations. We have also brought on board the position of Director of Student Services and Skills to better equip our students and support our innovative Integrated Practice Curriculum (IPC). Please take a moment to read about our distinguished f~culty members who are highlighted for thei~ engagement in innovative research, scholarship and teaching. All of these dedicated individuals contribute to our level of excellence and novation. On beha ave had ttie great pleasure o ma ity supporters at law scho receptions ancl conferences. We are very__ thankful fo e connection w er Bay Law Association jointl~ coordin uch 'as the Welcome to al Rrofession Ce Courthouse; the Annual , Basketball and Hockey arnes against our law students;, any others. There has been such a wonderful outpouring support both in the North and throughout Ontario for our law students. This has been especially true with our Practice Placements. We continue to have far more opportunities than students to fill those opportunities. Thank you to all of those serving as supervisors for the Practice Placements and making the experience so enriching and based on practical legal competencies. As the 2016-2017 academic year comes to a close, we can look back at the big strides we have taken and the exciting times that are ahead. Warm regards, ~~~ Dean and Professor of Law [ _ ~ Lakehead Inaugural Graduating Class of 2016 ~----_...,..._.:_ _~ ...- - -- - - - - " - - - - - - - - - 1 .- - - - ~ - - _____:::_ ~ - 1h.a.n.k ?.lotL --=--==--~~--------' �Community legal Services New Review Counsel It's been a busy year at Community Legal Services. In a few short months we will be celebrating our second anniversary of delivering free legal service to low income individuals in the Thunder Bay community. We have grown so much in that time. We recently welcomed our third lawyer to the clinic. Joanna Goldenberg joined us as Review Counsel in March 2017. Joanna is a graduate of the University of Toronto Faculty of Law. She was called to the bar in 2008. Her primary area of practice has been criminal defence work and most recently she was employed with Kitikmeot Law Centre in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. Joanna will be supervising clinic files in the areas of criminal law, provincial offences and tenant rights applications. OTLA Cup Each year lawyers from the Ontario Trial Lawyer Association (OTLA) support the development of trial skills, civility and professionalism amongst law school students by organizing the OTLA Cup. Law schools from across Ontario compete in a simulated trial which covers all aspects of a real court case. This was a historic year for the OTLA Cup. It marked the cup's 25th anniversary and the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law's first entry in the competition. The trailblazing team consisted of students Amber Bonnell, Ryan Venn, April Snow and Jillian Kellar. The OTLA Cup rotates amongst Ontario cities and is presided over by a local judge, with OTLA members making up the jury. This year the moot was held in Toronto with the Honourable Mr. Justice Firestone presiding. Competition was tight as all the participants were extremely well prepared and with the University of Windsor's Faculty of Law ultimately bringing home top prize. Lakehead team coaches Daniel Lester and Jeff Moorley of White Macgillivray Lester LLP applaud this pioneering team who showed skill, dedication, and confidence in their preparation and performance. They made a great first impression on behalf of Lakehead. Kawaskimhon Moot Team ID Clinic In March of this year, we partnered with Kinna-aweya Community Legal Clinic to host an ID clinic. Lack of official government ID is a barrier for many individuals. Without proper identification many people cannot access appropriate community support, or benefits such as housing, food banks, income support, education and employment. Space for this joint venture was generously provided by Anishnawbe Mushkiki. Seven law students, mostly first years, volunteered their time to help numerous community members fill out applications for birth certificates. The demand for this important service exceeded our capacity and we are hoping to hold another ID clinic again before the end of 2017. Expansion of Services But this is not the end of our great news. We are currently in the process of launching our services into the municipality of Greenstone. We would like to thank Kinna-aweya Legal Clinic who have offered to let us use space in their Geraldton satellite office, from time to time, in order to allow us the opportunity to expand our services in to that community. 2 Community Legal Services In partnership and with the financial support of the BMO Financial Group, the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law's Kawaskimhon Moot team travelled to Calgary, Alberta on March 8, 2017 to participate in the moot hosted by the University of Calgary's Faculty. The Bora Laskin Faculty of Law was represented by second-year student Tahnee Caraballo of Garden River First Nation. The other member of the moot team, Kailey Doxtator, was unable to attend due to illness, though she was integral to the research and writing of Bora Laskin Faculty of Law's position paper. This year's moot problem dealt with the timely issue of negotiations for a pipeline crossing Aboriginal territory in the province of New Brunswick. The Lakehead team represented a ctional Mi'gmaq First Nation. Our table (New Brunswick) was the only one to reach an agreement, due in no small part to the clever negotiation talents of our team, reports Gilbert Deschamps, Director of Indigenous Relations. Tahnee Caraballo did an outstanding job presenting our negotiation position and impressed many of the other team members with her knowledge and eloquence. It was a huge challenge to be a one-person team. Some of the other teams had four students. It was a great opportunity to meet other law students from across the country, Deschamps says. Next year's moot will be hosted by McGill's Faculty of Law in Montreal. �Small Town Boy Makes a Big Difference for Future Leaders in Law For three decades, David H. Gordon was committed to helping others. Born in Sudbury, Ont., David dedicated his life to the legal profession, practicing as a Senior Partner at McCarthy Tetrault for over 35 years where he was also a tireless mentor to young attorneys. Today, David's legacy continues to impact future law leaders through the D.H. Gordon Foundation Law Award. Established in 2013 by the D.H. Gordon Foundation in his memory, the prestigious $10,000 award is awarded annually to one student from the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law on the basis of academic excellence and financial need, with the hope of making law school more accessible and affordable. Through the generosity of donors like the D.H. Gordon Foundation, the Faculty of Law has been able to recruit and retain highly qualified and diverse students. These gifts are a special investment in our law school, and instil in our students a sense of confidence, pride and encouragement. "Having been selected to receive the D. H. Gordon Foundation Award, the financial costs of pursuing my studies has been significantly reduced, which has enabled me to devote more of my time to focus on my studies and academic activities. This award has inspired me to believe that I can move forward with my dreams and make them a reality." -Amanda Somek, JD Graduate 2017 Bora Laskin Faculty of Law A photo of David is proudly displayed in the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law to help inspire and call to attention the value of listening, learning and working hard: driving forces exemplified throughout David's life and practice. "We included Lakehead University in our will because we believe in the transformative power of education." Dr.. Bill Heath Professor Emeritus, Lakehead University Ms. Betty Heath Lakehead Alumna Creating a will is arguably one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your family. Not only can a will protect those you care for, it can also detail how you would like your estate managed. Agift in your will to Lakehead University can provide future financial support to a student, create a lasting legacy and provide significant estate tax benefits.

He recently published a book based upon his research, Permanent State of Emergency: The Demise of the Rule of Law in the United States, through McGill-Queens University Press. Publishers Weekly called this book a "timely and prescient debut ... starkly argues that America is no longer a rule-of-law state ... What could have been a dry legal text is instead a lively, informative, and at times very frightening history ... Alford 1s utterly reasonable and objective study is a compelling, important call to restore democratic balance." Additionally, Dr. Alford recently published articles in the Journal of Parliamentary and Political Law, the National Journal of Constitutional Law and the Review of Constitutional Studies discussing accountability for modifications to constitutional conventions, Bill C-51 and its corrosive effect on the rule of law, and the desirability of asserting parliamentary control over decisions to deploy the Canadian Forces. He also presented sections of his forthcoming book The Rule of Law in Canada at conferences in Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto. ) Dr. Alford enjoys teaching law students, eipecially first-year students, and is looking forward in particular to teaching constitutional law to firstyear students in the coming academic year. David Blaikie Assistant Professor David Blaikie taught Torts and Civil Practice in the 2017 winter term (he was on a leave of absence in the fall). He completed the second edition of the volume on the law of damages in Halsbury's Laws of Canada (LexisNexis). David also helped organize a conference for jurists in Kochi, India in May 2017, working with Judge Sandra Oxner {retired) and Dr. Madhva Menon of the National University of India Law School. The conference is in support of a book on lawyers and social justice {to be published by Oxford University Press), and he is a contributing editor. He continues to sit as a board director of the St. Andrew Soup Kitchen in Thunder Bay, and the Johnson Scholarship Foundation in West Palm Beach, Florida. David joined the Faculty of Law in July 2014 and he teaches in the areas of evidence, torts, civil procedure, professional responsibility and alternative dispute resolution. 4 Faculty Highlights Dr. Mariette Brennan received her PhD from Osgoode Hall Law School, York University, in 2011 and worked as an assistant professor at Bond University's Faculty of Law {Australia).

She has taught courses in Canadian criminal law, constitutional law, public international law and international criminal justice. First-year students participated in a mock bail hearing and criminal law moot, pleading for both the Crown and Defence, and constitutional law students had to make oral submissions concerning Charter breaches. In the public international law course, students negotiated an international treaty, and in the international criminal justice elective course students made submissions for the defence, prosecution and victims in an ICC Moot Court. Professor Cohen also had a productive research year, with publications in the areas of ~uman rights ~n_d reparati_ons for international crimes. She received a compet1t1ve Canadian Bar Association Law for the Future Fund, a prestigious Foundation for Legal Research award and a Research Development Fund grant, in support of research projects for which she will hire Law students as research assistants. She continued to serve as rapporteur to an Oxford University Press multi-year research project and as director of the Children's Aid Society.

Finally, over the past year, Professor Drake was appointed a commissioner of the Ontario Human Rights Commission, a commissioner with the Metis Nation of Ontario's Commission on Metis Rights and Self-Government, and as vice chair of Lakehead University's Research Ethics Board. Daniel Dylan is excited to have completed his first year of teaching at the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law. "Each of the courses I taught presented - their own challenges, but all were overcome and students are well-poised to move forward into upper year courses as well as their legal careers," he says. Next year he will be teaching a course titled Intellectual Property Law & Indigenous Traditional Knowledge, which reflects one dimension of his scholarly interests and expertise. His other interests are environmental, natural resources and animal law. "I hope to teach courses in these areas as well, as the Faculty continues to grow," he says. In May 2017, he is set to present a paper which deals with indigenous intellectual property law issues at Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) Canada's "Symposium on Genetic Resources, Biodiversity, and Indigenous Traditional Knowledge." In June 2017, the University of New Brunswick Law Journal will publish a paper he authored on the complicated intersection among natural resources, administrative and constitutional law in Nunavut. "I look forward to continuing to teach Contract Law and Legal Research & Writing to the incoming first year class, Evidence Law to the second year class, and welcome all students to the Faculty in the fall 2017," he says. Law Library a Full Resource Centre The Bora Laskin Faculty of Law Library opened 1n September 2013, but it's only been since last summer that it has been fully staffed. Librarian Debra Gold splits her time between the main campus and the Law Library at the historic PACI building. Library Technician Julie Wright is on-site fulltime and available to assist staff and students, along with a group of law student circulation workers. The Law Library offers a mix of digital and print items. It boasts more than 7,000 volumes in its print collection, primary sources such as laws and statutes, as well as law-related books. The collection has a particular focus on Aboriginal law, Natural Resources law, and materials suitable for rural and small town lawyering. Located in the building 's original library, the spacious Law Library can accommodate up 100 people in fixed seating. A mezzanine level consists of 20 study carrels, three small group study rooms, and an instructional lab . The Law Library has compiled a vast digital resource. The list includes online access to Litigator, Lexis Advance Quicklaw and HeinOnline, among others. ·'Research assistance, help locating items not available in the library, and search tips are just a few things we offer, " Gold explains. Fa c u lty H1ghl1ghts �Indigenous Relations Aboriginal law is a cornerstone of the curriculum at Lakehead University's Bora Laskin Faculty of Law. Along with mandatory courses on Indigenous Legal Traditions and Aboriginal Law, faculty bring to life Aboriginal culture and history through experiential learning in courses on Aboriginal Perspectives and through its speaker series and other events. Most of this work is undertaken through the office of Gilbert Deschamps, Director of Indigenous Relations. Deschamps' experiences includes legal practice focusing on family and criminal law. He also served as a policy analyst for several Indigenous-focused companies. He was also a band councillor at the Red Rock First Nation (Lake Helen Reserve) of Ontario. The aim to work closely with local Aboriginal community leaders led to the signing of an Aboriginal Protocol Agreement in 2013 to "establish a strong, meaningful and respectful working relationship regarding the Faculty of Law." The agreement brings together leaders from Nishnawbe Aski Nation, the Union of Ontario Indians, Grand Council Treaty #3, and the Metis Nation of Ontario on a semi-annual basis to discuss issues relating to Aboriginal perspectives of the law. As part of Lakehead's Aboriginal Cultural and Support Services, an Elder-in-Residence program is in place to provide individual and group support. Students can come by to speak one-on-one with the Elder or join in on a group discussion at the Aboriginal Resource Centre & Lounge. The visiting Elder in Residence program has featured Beatrice Twance-Hynes, Sam Achneepineskum, Ma-Nee Chacaby and Gerry Martin. Distinguished Speakers Along with instruction from knowledgeable faculty, the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law also welcomes distinguished members of the legal profession to meet and speak to the student body and community at-large. On Nov. 7 and 8, 2016, the Harold G. Fox Distinguished Lecture series was launched with the inaugural speaker, Dr Lloyd Axworthy. First, a public lecture was held where Dr. Axworthy offered his perspective on the future of Criminal Law, the International Criminal Court and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People. Second, a round table was held on the subject of "Canadian Indigenous Issues and their Impact on Global Politics." The event featured Dr. Axworthy, along with Lakehead President Brian Stevenson, and Dean Angelique EagleWoman. Axworthy is former Minister of Foreign Affairs and past President of the University of Winnipeg. The event was made possible by the Harold G. Fox Education Fund. On March 31, 2017, Senator Kim Pate addressed a luncheon at the John N. Paterson Auditorium. Pate is a nationally renowned advocate who has spent 35 years working in the legal and penal systems of Canada, with and on behalf of some of the most marginalized, victimized, criminalized and institutionalized particularly imprisoned - youth, men and women. A member of the Order of Canada, Pate was appointed to the Senate of Canada last November. On Feb. 15, 2017, the Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell gave a well-attended public lecture. The Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, and former Undersecretary-General of the United Nations, Dowdeswell drew upon her eclectic public service career spanning provincial, federal, and international borders to speak on the subject of The Crown and Reconciliation in 2017. The list of speakers over the past year also includes: Chief Justice George R. Strathy (Nov. 29, 2016); and Law Society of Upper Canada Treasurer Paul Schabas (Oct. 28, 2016). Supreme Court Chief Justice Delivers Inaugural Lecture For The Newly-established Bora Laskin Distinguished Lecture Series On April 3, 2017, the Faculty of Law had the great honour of welcoming the Right Honorable Chief Justice Beverley MacLachlin of the Supreme Court of Canada. The Chief Justice delivered the inaugural lecture for the newly-established Bora Laskin Distinguished Lecture Series. The topic of the lecture was "Delivering Justice in Canada's North. In her remarks, the Chief Justice focused on making justice accessible in remote communities and particularly for Indigenous people of the North. Her words inspired those in attendance and demonstrated her deep commitment to ensuring fair, just judicial processes for all Canadians. The PACI Paterson Auditorium was filled to capacity, with an overflow room also in use, for the attendance of nearly three hundred for the event. 11 6 Staff News �Charter Class Alumni school. I am indebted to the patient lawyers at the Faculty's legal aid clinic and many local lawyers who helped me become a lawyer capable of solving the real-world problems faced by so many in the north." Elysia Petrone Reitberger Ryan Green Ryan Green is still amazed by everything that has happened since his first day at law school. Growing up in the East End of Thunder Bay, law school and the opportunity to become a lawyer didn't appear possible. "Simply put, Lakehead University changed my life and provided me a remarkable opportunity - the chance to help people in this community," he says. With a commitment to advancing access to justice and experience in human resources and academic advising, he made the decision to compete for one of the coveted spots within the inaugural class. Even now, after graduating he is "still astonished to have been accepted." The challenge of starting law school while in his thirties and with three-yearold twins was daunting. Added to the challenge "was the welcome arrival of my third daughter during second year!" Nevertheless, a can-do attitude saw him succeed and he is "thankful for the opportunity to have been there in the beginning, and having learned alongside a group of amazing students." Ryan wasted no time after his call to the Bar on Friday, Sept. 23; the following Monday, he had his own law practice. Ryan Green Law Office is a criminal law defence practice that keeps him very busy working throughout Thunder Bay and the region. His work consists of attending court for early morning bail hearings, meeting with clients and conducting trials while building his business. "Most of the week, I return to my office after court to work well into the night, but I'm happy to do it!" he says. Ryan plans to work with local law students and help those, who like him, lacked professional connections or legal experience. "I am especially thankful for the support I received while studying at the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law," he says. "I was practice-ready because of the dedication of all those who built our When Elysia Petrone Reitberger decided to return to her hometown and attend law school, she was inspired by its focus on Indigenous and Environmental/Natural Resources law and that the program was geared to people who wanted to practice in the north. As a member of the Charter class, she found the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law met all her expectations. "Over the three years, I learned so much and took some really great courses," Elysia says. "It was a special time in my life not only because of the knowledge I gained and the experiences I had, but also because it affected my career path and my worldview." The daughter of well-known members of the Thunder Bay legal community, Elysia was also able to further connect with her indigenous heritage by studying at a school where aboriginal law was a priority. "My favourite courses were Anishinaabe Constitutionalism with Aaron Mills, and Karen Drake's class on Indigenous Legal Traditions. They were an eye-opener to our multi-jural legal system and I especially enjoyed learning about Indigenous laws during a class visit out on the land." While assignments and readings kept her very busy, Elysia and her colleagues were still able to launch both the Indigenous Law and the Lakehead Environmental Law student associations. Highlights of their work include: organizing a rally at the Thunder Bay Police station to speak out against police checks and racial profiling, and filing applications to participate in the NEB's review of the Energy East pipeline. In the winter of her third year, Elysia secured a placement with Falconers LLP in the Thunder Bay office. Falconers is a firm that specializes in human rights and public interest litigation and represents various First Nation organizations in Northern Ontario. "At that time, the First Nation youth Inquest was in full swing in Thunder Bay," Elysia notes. "It was a great experience to participate in the largest multi-death inquest in Ontario's history. I was able to prepare cross-examination memos and work on making draft recommendations." She returned to Falconers as a student and after successfully passing the bar exams, she is now employed there as a lawyer. "Bora Laskin Law School definitely prepared me for this job," she says, "and I am thankful to be part of a firm doing interesting work that I am passionate about." Larissa Speak Larissa Speak grew up in Thunder Bay and completed an undergraduate degree at Lakehead University, majoring in English literature. She continued her studies at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. "After finishing a Master's degree at Queen's, I found myself at a crossroads," she says. "I could continue with my studies in English literature in Kingston, where the city hugs the shoreline of Lake Ontario and windmills crowd the horizon in the distance. But I felt the tug of my hometown, where even the massive lakers in the harbour look small against the backdrop of Lake Superior." A few years later, she found herself climbing the steps of the former PACI as part of the charter class at the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law. Under the leadership of Dean Lee Stuesser, the charter class blazed the trail for future students, now known affectionately as "Little Laskins." For Larissa, the program delivered on its mandate to prepare students for practising law in Northern Ontario. "I left the program with a firm grasp of legal practice in Ontario and with a keen interest to continue learning about indigenous laws and practices," Larissa says. Larissa was the top student in the graduating class of 58 and was called to the bar on Sept. 23, 2016. She is completing a clerkship at the Superior Court in Thunder Bay, which gives her the unique opportunity to work closely with judges of the Superior Court and to observe the lawyers of the local Bar in the courtroom. "My office is on the sixth floor of the new courthouse," Larissa says. "I only have to turn my head towards the window to see the chilly expanse of Lake Superior." Charter Class Alumni 7 �DFC Law Day February 17, 2017 Students and staff from Thunder Bay's Dennis Franklin Cromarty High School (DFCHS) enjoyed a full day of learning and activities at DFC Law Day which took place Feb. 17, 2017. After an Eider's opening prayer, attendees were welcomed by Angelique EagleWoman, Dean and Professor of Law at the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law. Dean EagleWoman shared her personal story of growing up in an impoverished and difficult environment both on and off of her home reser~on. She spoke to the students about drawing upon her Dakota i pirituality to attain an education that led to her career in law. Presentations were made by Dr. Peggy Smith and Jerri-Lynn Orr on Aboriginal Initiatives/Gateway Program/Native Access Student Experiential Learning Opportunities Criminal Law Moot First-year students (ll) in the criminal law course participated in a criminal law moot, representing both the Crown (round 1) and Defence (round 2) in a fictional criminal negligence case. Finalists pleaded the case in front of Superior Court Justice F. Bruce Fitzpatrick and the law school community in the audience. The lL criminal law moot is part of the Integrated Practice Curriculum and has become a tradition at the Faculty of Law where students learn advocacy skills and how to build a case by analysing both sides of the argument. Civil Practice Tutorials The Civil Practice course is a key part of the Integrated Practice Curriculum at the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law. In the fall lecture portion of the course the focus is on learning the rules of civil procedure and in the winter the focus is on advocacy skills. Throughout the year, students meet in workshops (groups of 5 or 10) with instructors who are practicing members of Email: law@lakeheadu.ca Program; Joy Nieminen, Native Nursing Entry Program; and Truth and Reconciliation Chair Dr. Cynthia Wesley-Esquimaux. DFC students and students from the Law program then went to the PACI Gym for guide groups. Information sessions were also held. They included: Know Your Rights with Police and Ontario Human Rights. Later they participated in a Moot Court Exhibition, with faculty member Dr. Ryan Alford. DFCHS is located in Thunder Bay and hosts high school students from many different Sioux Lookout District First Nations. DFCHS was established by the parents and elders in the Sioux Lookout District and is operated by the Northern Nishnawbe Education Council. the bar. Using a hypothetical fact situation that will eventually be the basis for a mock civil trial, the students learn how to draft pleadings, affidavit of documents, motion record, a factum and book of authorities. The workshops in the winter term teach the basics of trial practice, including opening and closing arguments and the examination of witnesses. The course culminates in a four-hour mock trial, with students working in groups of two, representing either the Plaintiff or the Defendant. Ontario Justice Education Network High School Day October 7, 2016 On Oct. 7, 2016, the Ontario Justice Education Network (OJEN) partnered with the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law to host the Thunder Bay Law Symposium for several dozen grade 11 students. This full day of interactive sessions included a tour of the law school, a mock traffic court, a mock law school lecture, police fitness testing, and a session on murdered and missing indigenous women. Students from five high schools across Thunder Bay attended. Angelique Eag~eWoman, Dean and Professor of Law at the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law, welcomed the students. Presentations were made by Assistant Professor Miriam Cohen and Gilbert Deschamps, Director of Indigenous Relations.

This significant investment will enable Lakehead to contribute to the growth and economic development of Northwestern Ontario. Objectives Resource Needs and Opportunities • A unique educational focus on Aboriginal peoples and the legal needs of Aboriginal communities. Lakehead's new Faculty of Law has a unique mission to improve access to justice in Aboriginal, northern, and rural communities, and to create a new legal education culture to foster improved and informed relationships in northern law practice. • Address declining participation in sole and small law firm practice. • Address the legal issues related to the resourcebased Northern Ontario economy. The Faculty of Law will admit 55 students to the three-year program each year beginning in 201 3. It will be housed in a Thunder Bay heritage building, the former Port Arthur Collegiate Institute, which was purchased by Lakehead in 2008. Basic renovations including heating, ventilation, and electrical upgrades have been completed; however, additional renovations are required for classrooms and other learning spaces. A request has been submitted by Lakehead University to the federal government to fund these capital costs as well as to purchase resources for the Faculty of Law Library. Lakehead University has received significant community support for the Faculty of Law and is working closely with community stakeholders to raise funds for student scholarships.

This thriving community is the working hinge of all Canada. The great bulk of Canada's natural wealth grain, minerals, wood pulp - are distributed through this vital inland port. The immediate environment comprises one of the world's outstanding natural laboratories. The boreal forest, the Pre-Cambrian Shield, and the massive water-shed of Northern Ontario, provide a limitless challenge to man's thirst for knowledge and to his capacity for improving his way of life. Vital decisions regarding the future of Canada's natural resources will be based, in part, on research which is going on at Lakehead University right now! Facilities at Lakehead University include: residence accommodations for over 600 students; a university centre complex which includes lounges, cafeteria, student government office, a shopping mall, and a 380-seat theatre; an athletic complex which compares in versatility to any in Canada. Of more immediate concern to the students of science, the Centennial Science Complex represents an investment in excess of $20 million in buildings and equipment; an excellent library provides nearly 200,000 volumes and a seating capacity over 1,000; a Model 50H computer is available on a twenty-four hour basis for the use of the entire University community. �faculty of science Teachers and researchers in the subjects.of Biology, Chemistry, Geology, the Mathematical Sciences, Physics and Geography are intensely committed to the disciplines of science. But they are also oriented toward the individual student. Comparatively small classes, which prevail in the Sciences at Lakehead University, provide a setting for easy rapport between and among students and faculty. Close individual attention ensures more effective learning, Should problems of an academic nature arise, the Dean of Science, his deputies, and the department chairmen are constantly available for counselling. The active personal contact which students enjoy with their professors in the Faculty of Science is supplemented by a formal structure of student/faculty liaison committees, organized on the departmental level, which keep students and faculty aware of each other's problems and viewpoints. Nearly every four-year program in the Faculty of Science gives students the opportunity to become involved in practical research projects. Special research facilities in the Faculty of Science include a well-equipped machine shop, glassworking laboratory and an instrument division which houses the latest scientific instruments including electron microscope, spectrometers, diffractometers, etc. These facilities are all managed and staffed by professional personnel. The faculty of Science maintains close liaison with industry and scientific associations in order to ensure that academic and professional standards are met or surpassed in every program. There is a growing awareness of the important role that science can play in the development of Canada's future. This awareness has kindled greater cooperation among different disciplines in the Faculty of Science. This fact is reflected, not only in the trend toward inter-disciplinary research, but also in programs specially designed to provide a knowledge of many Science subjects in breadth rather than in depth. The Inter-departmental Program is a three-year general program in which a student selects courses from within the departmental offerings in the Faculty of Science, and supplements these with electives from the Humanities and Social Sciences. And the Liberal Science Program consists of courses designed to cover all aspects of science in order to promote an appreciation of our environment among those who are not interested in specialized study. Whatever your interest in science, the Faculty of Science at Lakehead University can help you choose a satisfying program. The Faculty of Science offers three-year programs leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in the following disciplines: Biology, Chemistry, General Science, Geology, Liberal Science, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Physics, Geography and Energy and Fuel Science. Also offered are four-year programs leading to the Honours Bachelor of Science degree in the disciplines listed below: Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics, Mathematical Physics, Physics and Geography. Admission to the first year of the Faculty of Science will be granted to candidates who have completed their final year of secondary school studies in good standing. Evidence of a candidate's standing shall include: 7. A recommendation by the principal of the secondary school last attended regarding fitness for university studies. 2. A complete academic report for the final three years of secondary school. 3. The results of standardized test offered by the Service for Admission to College and University. The general principles of course selection in grade 12 and 13 remain unaltered. Should you require further information, please contact: Dr. R. A. Ross, Dean, Faculty of Science, Lakehead University, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. Close individual attention and a place to learn "naturally" are hallmarks of instruction in the Faculty of Science at Lakehead University. ��department •of chemistry Why study Chemistry? What does a chemist do that inspires you to be one or prompts you to learn something about the subject even if you do not plan to pursue it as a career? Specifically, the science of chemistry is involved with the properties and structures of substance, and their preparation from and interaction with other substances that constitute man and his environment. Since Chemistry is a very broad subject the boundaries that separate it from engineering, geology, pharmacy, physics and the biological sciences are often indefinite. The importance of Chemistry in your daily life is abundantly evident. Chemical changes in your body produce energy and growth from food and air; bodily functions themselves are control led by sets of complex chemical substances called vitamins, hormones and enzymes. The food you eat is indirectly produced by the chemical reaction cal led photosynthesis, and the clothes you wear consist in large part of synthetic fibres produced by chemical processes. The metals for automobiles and machines are produced by chemical processes, and the operations by which glass, bricks and pottery are made are further examples of chemical processes. More recent triumphs of Chemistry include the development of antibiotics and other drugs to combat pain and disease, the production of improved gasoline from petroleum, and the synthesis of many new plastics. Entire industries have evolved from the development of these new materials, giving employment to many thousands of people. Chemistry operates in and around us every moment of our lives, and thus we need to know something about it. Many of today's most pressing problems, such as air and water pollution, malnutrition, drug addiction, mental and physical sickness and over-population rage out of control because the citizenry has not proceeded with imaginative application of chemical knowledge. To the question, Why study chemistry?, there is a practical and an intangible answer. The practical answer is not the same as that of a generation ago; in part, today's answer is a need to make up for the blunders of the past. The intangible answer arises from the things we can know from Chemistry that we had no hope of knowing a generation ago: what life is, where it came from, how it operates, what our solar system is like and how it arose. A Chemistry graduate may become involved in such areas as plastics, drugs, pollution, paper, metals and atomic power. Chemistry is also a key requirement for entering the fields of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, some areas of engineering and almost any branch of the sciences. A degree in Chemistry can lead to involvement at a number of business, industrial and academic levels, including manufacturing, product control, technical service, sales, marketing, teaching, research, and governmental employment. In fact, chemistry provides a student with a broad training which enables him to tackle a wide variety of jobs. Lakehead University offers courses in most branches of Chemistry: Analytical - almost everything we eat, wear or handle has been subjected to chemical analysis at some stage of production. It is the key to pollution control. Biochemistry - the study of life processes, vital to medical students, biologists, etc. Inorganic - a rapidly developing area of Chemistry. It deals with the structure, properties and uses of metals, non-metals and their compounds. Organic the branch of Chemistry which fulfills the basic need of society in the form of chemotherapy (drugs), manufacture (plastics, man-made fibres) and food (agriculture and forestry). Physical - deals with the determination of the properties and structure of matter and the laws and theories of Chemistry. Polymer - industries associated with polymeric materials are the major employers of al I chemists and chemical engineers. The courses at Lakehead University examine the synthesis, structure and properties of synthetic and natural macromolecular substances. The Department of Chemistry at Lakehead University, offers some unique advantages, the most important of which is the combination of highly qualified staff with the availability of excellent laboratory and instrumentation facilities. This allows instructors and staff to provide the individual student with a large degree of personal attention and gives the student frequent access to modern instruments. An apparatus used in the field of Physical Chemistry to sample gases. ��department of physics The most imcomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible. The primary concern of ~he Physics Department at Lakehead University is the development of a sound and interesting undergraduate program. Because the number of students is relatively smal I, instructors can give each student individual attention. Personal contact is also emphasized in the labs where students are encouraged to do progressively more independent work. Physics is a systematic study of the properties of al I things, from nucleus to the stars. There are only a few fundamental laws. The physicist is not required to memorize a body of facts, but only to pit his mind against ideas. His theory is meaningful only if it makes correct predictions about the physical world. A great deal of ingenuity is required to devise experiments to verify these predictions. A study of physics provides insight into technology, natural phenomena and the basic nature of things. In contrast to other disciplines which study specific areas in detail, physics gives a broad understanding of our world. It teaches one how to think logically and objectively about any given problem. This, combined with the proper design and interpretation of experiments, is the essence of the scientific method. The power of this method when applied to physical science is indisputable, but its application to social problems is fairly recent. A physicist contributes to the technological advancement of society; as examples physicists are eagerly searching for new sources of energy, studying ways to improve the efficiency of existing energy sources and are deeply involved in the problems of pollution control. . Do you find excitement in understanding the w·b rld and in contemplating the universe? Perhaps you are a bit skeptical when told "the facts". Then you should enjoy the study of physics. Physics forms the basis for most of the physical sciences and graduates can embark on worthwhile endeavours, not only in physics, but in a variety of allied fields, such as astrophysics, geophysics, chemical physics, biophysics and engineering. Some of the careers to which a degree opens the door include high school teaching, meterology, astronomy and cosmology, computer programming, atomic energy, acoustics, radiation physics, industrial research and development, sale of scientific equipment, laser Albert Einstein. technology, space science, theoretical chemistry, environmental protection, energy production and many others. A wide range of programs in the Department of Physics accommodates both the group of students who have the experimental and theoretical skill to fol low a highly concentrated and rapidly moving program in preparation for graduate studies, and also those students who like a challenge but are not so certain that they want to devote themselves singlemindedly to the subject. A good variety of options makes it possible for students, particularly in the general degree program, to choose courses of particular interest to them. It is impossible to cover more than a bare fraction of the field of physics. The Department of Physics therefore offers a good basic course, with few frills. Consequently, students enjoy more personal attention than is customary in unversity studies. Whether your bent is towards laboratory research or theoretical physics, opportunity for development is assured. The essence of both these approaches is a judicious combination of basic concepts and challenge to initiative, both of which are stressed in physics at Lakehead University. Although the main emphasis is upon undergraduate teaching, lively research projects take place in physics at Lakehead University. Many faculty members are involved in research concerned with solid state physics, which refers to the search for new materials, and new uses for old ones. Specifically, this research is restricted to areas closely allied to electronics . Transistors and devices like them are closely studied and analysed. Results of such experiments are of particular interest to radio, television and communications equipment manufacturers. Another research project involves a search for methods of improving the electrical properties of capacitor paper produced by a regional mill. In addition, a group of physicists is applying a scanning microscope to the study of chromosome behaviour. Some upper year undergraduate students become directly involved in these projects and all students benefit from the up-to-date knowledge that active research provides for faculty members. ��department of mathematical sciences Mathematics is exploding. Where 50 years ago mathematics could aptly be cal led the "hand maiden of the sciences", there is now hardly a field of human endeavour which escapes the interest and contribution of mathematics, and the mathematical method. It has far outstripped its description as the "science of number", and non-numerical mathematics studies subjects from the essential properties of knots and communications systems to the workings of the human mind. Everyone involved in science must be able to use the tools that mathematics provides. It would be impossible to study physics, chemistry or any science subject without some knowledge of calculus, algebra and statistics. But it is a mistake to believe that a mathematician's role is simply to provide tools for other people to use. An important value of mathematics to a mathematician lies in the fact that it gives him pleasure. It may reveal the harmony of the universe; it may result in great technical advances; it may even lower the cost of groceries. But, in the end, mathematics is studied by people because they enjoy it. If you liked mathematics at school, and were good at it (for it is one of the most difficult and demanding courses at University) then you should consider taking a degree in it. The faculty at Lakehead University would be pleased to discuss this with you and to offer counsel in your choice of courses. A serious mathematics major graduate will have little difficulty in obtaining good employment. There is a continuing demand in teaching with a strongly developing trend towards the applications of mathematics to industry, commerce and government. There is always a demand for the person who can accomplish what others consider difficult, and in the longer range. the demand for mathematicians may well outstrip the supply, as more disciplines and activities become mathematical in nature. Who could have seen, a few years ago, the extent to which mathematics is now used in economics, the social and behavioural sciences and business, and the opportunities that these disciplines now provide to mathematics graduates? At Lakehead University, class sizes in mathematics are generally sufficiently small that students have an excellent opportunity to get to know one another and to consult faculty members. Students are encouraged to participate in the life of the department, to attend the seminars, use the reading room, and work closely with the faculty, so that their education need not be bounded by the classroom and the library. A prospective university student should weigh carefully whether his, or her, potential will be better developed in a large (and often impersonal and highly competitive) university, or in the freer atmosphere of small classes, close faculty contact, and close working relations with other students. A great deal of mathematical learning comes about through trading ideas and criticizing the work of one's fellow students. At Lakehead University the mathematics program is being reorganized around the concept of "applicable mathematics". This includes the mathematics which is useful in the new and expanding fields of applications, as well as the older applications to physical science and engineering. We are interested in teaching any branch of mathematics which might be applied, and this means we must also provide an introduction to "pure" mathematics, because history has amply proved that it very quickly becomes tomorrow's "applied" mathematics. The greatest surge of the pres·ent is to the mathematics of computing, and modern high speed computation is revolutionizing mathematical thinking. We believe that it is important to reorient almost all mathematics teaching to this important new development so, while we have courses just in computer science, we also have computer science in most of our courses. Lakehead University has been able to maintain an extremely favourable computer/ student ratio, and our students probably have better access to modern high speed computer facilities than those in any other Canadian university. A mathematical ''problem" can be solved in many ways and in many places. ��the liberal science programme It is impossible to over-estimate the importance of science in today's careening technological world. Science is the only branch of human enquiry which applies itself to the systematic observation and interpretation of our physical environment. As such, science provides a fountain of wel I-defined data upon which to base important judgments which must be made now if we are to survive. The influence of science and technology upon modern man staggers the imagination And yet, there have been very few systematic attempts to bring this home to future teachers, legislators and decisionmakers. The Liberal Science Program aims at giving such people a broad view of science, rather than producing professional scientists. The program brings science out of the confines of the laboratory in order to explain its effects upon man and his environment, and also to explore ways in which science can influence our daily lives for the better. Students entering the Liberal Science Program must have successfully completed Grade 13. But science and mathematics are not prerequisite, as they are for other programs in the Faculty of Science. Requirements include a mature mind and a desire to understand the role of science. Liberal Science students may concentrate on any Arts subjects to meet the requirements of the program. Indeed, it is essentially designed to provide a broad background in science study for students specializing in the social sciences, humanities, or education. It is extremely flexible, allowing easy transfer in and out of the program from other Arts and Science programs. In addition to at least three subjects from the Faculty of Science and up to seven from the Faculty of Arts, the three-year Liberal Science Degree Program requires at least five of the fol lowing courses: L.S. 7720 Physics for Poets - An introduction to classical and modern physics without extensive use of mathematics. Biology 772 7 Natural Science - A course which integrates the earth's physical feature with plant and animal life on earth by emphasizing the relationships of the three. The course deals with the origin of the earth and development of its physical features; origin, structure and function of living organisms; organisms and the environment, evolution; the future. Geology 7707 Fundamentals of Geology - The external and internal processes which have formed the crust of the earth, the ocean basin and the hydrosphere; and the general physical and chemical principles relating to the origin and development of the earth as a whole. Laboratory work will include the mineralogy of the main rock forming minerals and economic sulphide and oxide deposits, the petrography of the principal rock types in the earth's crust, the identification and use of fossils as indicators of relative time, and the interpretation of geological maps. Mathematics 07 20 Mathematics, the Analytical Tool of Science - The role of mathematics in formulating and solving problems, both from the traditional sciences and the newer areas of the social sciences. The emphasis is on the "mathematical method", rather than the mathematics. The topics chosen range widely to accomplish this goal and will include history and the development of geometry. L.S. 2 700 Science and Man --. The profound influence of science on the individual and society is the central focus of this course. The effects of great experiments and theories on the development of civilization are studied in detail. The relationships between science, technology, philosophy and politics are identified and discussed. Also, the role of science in determining the way we think and act is probed as far as possible. L.S. 2200 Chemistry and Everyday Life - This is a survey of those aspects of chemistry which affect our lives every day. The material will include a general historical introduction. Following this, a basic understanding will be provided for such popular activities as photography, wine-making and pottery. Also, such topics as the energy crisis, birth control, pollution, physical and mental health, the use and misuse of drugs will be discussed from a chemical viewpoint. L.S. 2080 Contemporary Physical Thought - Important scientific literature is often ignored because its language is too technical or mathematical for the general reader. This course purposes to interpret such writings to promote understanding in the theories of the Universe and its creation, in the laws of physical science, and in recent scientific thought. Proficiency in mathematics is not required. �L.S. 2300 Astronomy - This course is designed to acquaint the student with the principal features of the Solar system, our Galaxy, and the known Universe. The student wi 11 make observations of the moon, planets and stars, plot their movements and deduce some of their properties. Photographs from observatories will supplement the student's observations. No previous background in physics or mathematics is required. L.S. 3700 Canadian Science and Technology - The organization of science and technology in Canada with special reference to energy distribution and communication networks. L.S. 3400 Problems in Pollution - I nterdepartmental course on problems of land, water and air pollution. Effects on the environment and its conservation. �the energy and fuel science programme Universities have a vital part to play in the resolution of the energy crisis by producing those (people) with the necessary skills to meet future demands. The problem of energy seems destined to take on a less ephemeral nature within the curriculum than the current fashions of environmentalism. David Dickson This programme will be offered initially in September 1975. Our future on this small planet will be largely determined by the manner in which we meet the energy crises that surrounds us and, at times, threaten to en-gulf us. Can we find effective solutions to energy problems? Are the solutions economically and technologically possible? How drastically will our lifestyles be altered by the introduction of new and perhaps radically different forms of energy? If these questions are to be met and answered, intelligent men and women possessing a broad range of knowledge must do the seeking. That is why Lakehead University has developed the Energy and Fuel Science Programme. The Energy and Fuel Science Programme follows an interdisciplinary approach to energy science. It combines courses on the basic scientific aspects of energy with applied scientific, engineering and economic approacnes to the solution of energy problems. Thus, this programme will give _you an effective, cohesive knowledge of scientific principles which cover a broad spectrum of subject areas - Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics. It will give you an understanding of the engineering principles which are necessary to make a reality out of a dream. And, the Energy and Fuel Science Programme will give you a solid grounding in the principles of economics and social dynamics. Laboratory and plant work will have a special emphasis in the second and third years of the programme and specialized courses in "Energy and Fuel Science" will be taken each year. The present programme requires three academic years and plans for an honours year are at an advanced stage. �integrated science programme The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when one contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day. Albert Einstein. Today the physical and natural sciences are becoming increasingly interdependent and in recognition of this, Lakehead University is offering a unique science programme at the first year level. It combines biology, chemistry, geology, mathematics and physics and will be given from February to April primarily for the benefit of high school semester graduates. It will consist of twelve weeks of lectures and laboratories fol lowed by a week of field work. If you graduate in January, you can begin your post-secondary education immediately by enrolling in the Integrated Science Programme. Think about it: Instead of waiting until September to begin your first year of university, you could be entering second year. There are many advantages to an integrated approach to science. It is possible to gain a better concept of the natural unity of science and of the co-ordinate material that, traditionally, has been treated by different departments. The student need not decide on a major until the second university year when he or she has a better appreciation of science as a whole. At the same time, it is very probable that much of the most exciting work and opportunities in science in the future will occur in interfacial or overlap areas among the classical divisions. If you are thinking about a university major in any science subject, or if you want a general background in science, then the Integrated Science Programme is for you. (An understanding of reality, from the elementary particle to the living world, is the ultimate challenge to the human mind. It can provide you with challenge for the rest of your life. In addition, it can offer you a livelihood and a means of solving many of the problems of modern society. The first step towards the solution of any problem is understanding, and the goal of science is the understanding of the world.) cu 'E E ~ O'l e Q.. a, (J C a, ·c:; Cf) ..... 0 > -== ::::, (J co LL a, .s:::. +-' C 0 C 0 "_;j co E .... .....0 C .... a, l:) .... z a, II- z .s:::. c:i +-' .....::::, w E <!

The photograph at right shows but a small portion of the country that surrounds the university - a place to find enjoyment through canoeing, skiing, backpacking, or simply looking; a place to seek knowledge in the thousands of miles of natural laboratories to be found at random in this Canadian Shield country; and a place where many important events in Canadian history have happened (that's a reconstruction of the Old Fort William Fur Trading Post in the foreground) and where an important part of Canada's future will be determined by the faculty and students at Lakehead University. ---------------7 ""0 -i r...., :c )> C0 C: 0'1 z m ,,)> ,,0 ,, (') ":c rm m m - C C: (') -i :c m Cl) m m )> :::0 -< 0 (') :::0 C m 0 C0 -i -i )> C: -< z < 0 m ,, Cl) (') ,, -i )> :c :::0 m C z :::0 m z m -i ~ (') )> )> -i m z :::0 0 (') )> z )> C )> -< -< ��� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
