As the co-creators of new knowledge, graduate students may reflect on this question as they work toward becoming independent scholars. Graduate students at Lakehead University study in an environment that encourages discovery and supports success. In 2007-2008, four new Lakehead University Research Scott Wiebe, Chairs were created to enable PhD candidate in some of its most accomplished Forest Sciences full-time faculty members to concentrate on research and student mentoring. Two of these Chairs are within the social sciences and humanities (Dr. Lori Chambers, Women's Studies, and Dr. Todd Dufresne, Philosophy) and two are within the natural sciences and engineering (Dr. Stephen Kinrade, Chemistry, and Dr. Baoqiang Liao, Chemical Engineering). Another two will be announced in 2009-2010 . I These four Lakehead University Research Chairs, along with Lakehead 's seven Canada Research Chairs, are building on a record of research excellence and achievement and helping Lakehead to develop unique graduate programs. Miranda Maki (right), PhD candidate in Biotechnology, with Lab Technician Bmce Rosa (left) and Dr. Kam Leung 2 Lakehead University Annual Report 2007-2008 All researchers at Lakehead are supported by advanced communications technologies for teaching and learning, an excellent library, and 12 University research centres/ programs that provide important links to various communities of interest. Graduate students benefit from a vibrant and diverse academic setting, and ample opportunity for one-on-one mentoring with internationally renowned scholars. In the last four years, Lakehead has established a Faculty of Graduate Studies that is supported by an office that now has six full-time staff including the Dean. The Office is dedicated to overseeing the application, admission, and financing of graduate students. In 2005-2006 the Office of the VicePresident (Research) and the Faculty of Graduate Studies joined forces to recognize and reward graduate student publications through the creation of the High Output and Publication Excellence (HOPE) Awards, presented to three graduate students each year who are first authors of a peerreviewed publication . Lakehead's Research Plan lists seven strategic research areas of advantage and strength: (1) Aboriginal Studies; (2) Advanced Technology Systems; (3) Biotechnology and Material Science; (4) Culture and Society; (5) Environmental and Resource-based Development, Education, and Policy; (6) Health Research Across the Life Span; and (7) Northern Studies. Biotechnology and Material Science In Lakehead's Bioenvironmental Engineering Laboratory, Lakehead University Research Chair (Chemical Engineering) Dr. Baoqiang Liao is engaged in finding a low-cost, environmentally sustainable, long-term solution to handling pulp and paper mill wastewater and sludge using anaerobic membrane bioreactor technologies. He is working with four graduate students who will receive multidisciplinary training in engineering, chemistry, and microbiology. Dr. Stephen Kinrade, Lakehead University Research Chair (Chemistry), is conducting research into the chemical mechanisms underlying silicon biofunctionality. He is working with the Molecular Medicine Research Centre (MMRC) to conduct radioisotopic analysis of silicon uptake, translocation, and binding in various biosystems. The MMRC is a collaborative project with Lakehead University, Sunnybrook Research Institute at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre (Toronto), and Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre and includes the active involvement of private partners led by Philips Medical Systems . Lakehead's new PhD program in Biotechnology, which admitted its first students in 2008, is an interdisciplinary program involving researchers in many Faculties at Lakehead University. It builds on existing undergraduate and graduate programs in Forest Sciences, Applied Bio-Molecular Science, Environmental �Studies, Water Resource Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Engineering, and complements the PhD program in Forest Sciences. As well, it relates to exciting new research enterprises such as the Biorefining Research Initiative, which is expected to become a world-class centre of excellence dedicated to developing transformative technologies and products from forest biomass. Health Research Across the Life Span The Department of Psychology has one of the largest graduate programs on campus, including a Master in Clinical Psychology, a Master in Experimental Psychology, and a PhD in Clinical Psychology. Thanks to the leadership of Dr. Josephine Tan, then Director of Clinical Training (Psychology), the PhD program was accredited in its tenth anniversary year (2007-2008) by the Canadian Psychological Association. Lakehead University, working in partnership with Trent University and the University of Toronto, was successful in securing $1 M in multiinstitutional collaborative funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation for the development of the Centre for Biological Timing and Cognition (CBTC) in Thunder Bay, which positions the Department of Psychology for steady academic and research growth. The CBTC will be used as a laboratory and graduate training facility to carry out neuroscientific and clinical research on the biological, social, and environmental factors that influence perception, cognition, and mental health. Another graduate program within the newly created Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences is the Master of Public Health program, with 150 students at present. Currently there are two fields - Health Studies and a Specialization in Nursing - and Lakehead is planning a third MPH field focusing on the educational needs of Nurse Practitioners. This graduate program leverages the talent that already exists at Lakehead within a variety of disciplines including Medicine, Psychology, Gerontology, Kinesiology, Nursing, Social Work, and Health Services and Policy Research. Advanced Technology Systems Advanced Technology Systems, comprising integrated hardware, software, and communication links, are an essential part of our economy. At Lakehead there are many faculty members and students in the Faculty of Engineering and the Departments of Computer Science and Physics who are working on projects in this field funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). Dr. Rachid Benlamri (Software Engineering) received a new Discovery Grant from NSERC this year to fund a program that will contribute toward solving some of the challenging problems in cognitive mobile learning by making use of the progress in semantic web theory, e-learning standardization, and mobile computing. "The research work focuses on the theoretical and technological aspects of designing mobile learning services that deliver context-aware learning resources from various locations and devices," says Benlamri. "The ability to grasp the exact knowledge required to accomplish a specific task, in a limited allotted time, is a key factor for organizations to remain economically competitive in the new knowledge society." In addition to Master programs in Control Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Physics, and Mathematical Sciences, a new Master program in Electrical and Computer Engineering will begin in September 2008. Software engineering graduate student Xiaoyun Zhang (right) with Dr. Rachid Benlamri �Dr. Som Ale (left) and Biology graduate student Jody MacEachern (centre) prepare for a field trip with Dr. Douglas Morris Thanks to Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) grants, Lakehead's Automatic Control Laboratory and new Broadband Communications Networks Laboratory are state-of-the-art facilities open to both graduate and undergraduate students. Lakehead has advanced communications technology for teaching and learning and is a member of SHARCNET, Ontario's highperformance computing network. Environmental and Resource-Based Development, Education, and Policy Researchers in the Faculty of Forestry and the Forest Environment, the Faculty of Science and Environmental Studies, and the Faculty of Engineering, for example, are engaged in several projects associated with the Atikokan Bioenergy Research Initiative. In addition, Lakehead, with the support of FedNor, FPlnnovations-Forintek, the Ministry of Natural Resources, and the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines, is providing critical leadership in the wood products industry, helping local communities create value-added manufacturing appropriate to the forest, financial, and human resources available in Northern Ontario communities. Lakehead researchers are increasing capacity in the region to produce innovative solutions, products, and technologies based on the sustainable use of natural resources. Their work encompasses everything from developing new wood products, biorefining technologies, bioenergy and biochemicals, and materials and methods for new ways of environmental remediation, to the monitoring of air and water quality, and treatment of industrial waste. There has been a growing interest in Environmental Studies at Lakehead as witnessed by the popularity of the Master of Environmental Studies in Nature-Based Recreation and Tourism . This is an interdisciplinary degree program that has its roots in social sciences such as leisure studies, human geography, and sociology. Lakehead's PhD program in Forest Sciences draws on the academic expertise housed within the Faculty of Forestry and the Forest Environment, the School of Social Work, the Faculty of Engineering, the School of Outdoor Recreation, Parks, and Tourism, and the Faculty of Science and Environmental Studies. Graduate students are engaged in a wide range of multidisciplinary research projects ranging from sustainable forest management and watershed ecology to wildlife habitat management and conservation. Last year, a new interdisciplinary Master of Environmental Studies in Northern Environments and Cultures was launched . It is the first graduate program of its kind in Ontario to concentrate on the near-north. Program content is being drawn from the physical disciplines of geomorphology, climatology, biogeography, and soil science, as well as the socio-economic and cultural streams of human geography and anthropology. 4 Lakehead University Annual Report 2007-2008 Northern Studies II 11 �Dr. Douglas Morris, Lakehead University Research Chair in Northern Studies (Biology) and Post-doctoral Fellow Dr. Som Ale, head a team of Biology graduate students studying food webs and climate change in Nunavut and the Yukon Territories . The research is part of a three-year multinational collaboration (Arctic WOLVES - Wildlife Observatories Linking Vulnerable Ecosystems) with remote field camps spread throughout the circumpolar north. The Canadian component of Arctic WOLVES, headquartered at Laval University, represents one of Canada's key International Polar Year (IPY) activities and has received nearly $3M in research funding through NSERC and IPY Canada. Dr. Chris Southcott (Sociology) is the Principal Investigator with the Social Economy Research Network for Northern Canada, a collaborative project funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) with Yukon College, Aurora College, and Nunavut Arctic College. In addition, Southcott is working on a circumpolar comparative study of factors leading to migration decisions of Arctic indigenous residents. Professors in the School of Outdoor Recreation, Parks, and Tourism are working extensively with graduate students on several research programs that relate to the social economy of Canada's far north . Dr. Margaret Johnston is examining the impact of the 2007 Canada Winter Games held in Whitehorse, Yukon. She is working with Dr. Harvey Lemelin on a project with members of the Lutsel K'e community in the Northwest Territories to see how this Aboriginal community, situated on the shores of Great Slave Lake and within one of Canada's newest national parks, can achieve its economic, social, and environmental goals. the Department of Aboriginal Education, confirms Lakehead's commitment to having Aboriginal representation in all aspects of University governance and program and research development. One of Lakehead's research strengths is in community-initiated collaboration with Aboriginal organizations . An excellent example is the partnership between the Grand Council of Treaty #3 and members of Lakehead's Faculty of Education to develop a comprehensive, collaborative, and strategic plan for the retention and revitalization of the Anishinaabe language. In Anthropology, Dr. Scott Hamilton is collaborating with various northern Ontario Aboriginal communities as they grapple with the complex issues surrounding natural resource development and preservation of Aboriginal cultural heritage. In part, this involves integrating two ways of envisioning human relationships with the environment - one reflecting Aboriginal traditional knowledge, and the other deriving from western science. Recently, Lakehead was successful in securing funds from the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities to launch The Nanibijou Project: A Transition Program for Aboriginal Graduate Students. This project is designed to "teach teachers" how best to mentor their Aboriginal graduate students. It will offer modules devoted to such topics as thesis/ dissertation development and will examine the possibility of developing a transition model for Aboriginal students who wish to pursue advanced degrees at the Master or Doctoral level . Children of Unmarried Parents Act, 19211969 was written with the help of nine undergraduate researchers as well as a Post-doctoral fellow, Dr. Rachel Ariss, who is now a faculty member in the Department of Sociology. Dr. Todd Dufresne, Lakehead University Research Chair (Philosophy), received the 2007 Lakehead University Distinguished Researcher Award. An expert on the work of Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis, Dufresne is working on several book projects and furthering his research on culture and creativity as drivers of economic development. Part of his scholarly activity involves developing an organization that will link Lakehead scholars from across disciplines with members of the local community including lawyers, urban planners, and artists. The former Dean of Graduate Studies, Dr. Gary Boire, believes the high degree of collegiality at Lakehead University, coupled with an excellent supervisor-student ratio, leads to an unique graduate research culture. "We have a culture characterized by a mentoring environment wherein the publication of first-rate student research is the norm rather than the exception," he says . ■ Culture and Society Aboriginal Studies Lakehead is recognized as a leader in Aboriginal issues among Canadian universities and has a high percentage of Aboriginal students. The recent recruitment of Dr. Judy lseke-Barnes, Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Education, Beverly Sabourin, Vice-Provost (Aboriginal Initiatives), and Dr. Ethel Gardner, Chair of Lakehead's application for a PhD program in Sociology was approved based on the excellence of its faculty and the quality of its Master programs.

Thunder Bay Regional Research Institute Lakehead University is a partner in the Thunder Bay Regional Research Institute whose flagship program, the Molecular Medicine Research Centre, was launched in December 2007. It positions the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre as a leader in patient care through research . Biorefining Research Initiative (BRI) Progress was made toward the establishment of a new research institute at Lakehead with the hiring of Dr. Wensheng Qin as an Ontario Research Chair in Biorefining Research and the initiation of a search for the second Ontario Research Chair who will serve as scientific director. In 2007-2008, Lakehead received $1 M from the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund to support the establishment of the BRI. In addition, the Minister of Research and Innovation, John Wilkinson, announced that the Government of Ontario had allocated $25M to create a Thunder Bay Centre for Research and Innovation in the Bio-Economy (CRIBE). SHARCNET Lakehead University was one of five universities in Ontario to be allocated a Shared Hierarchical Academic Research Computing Network (SHARCNET) Research Chair in 2007-2008. The Chair will be working in the area of biorefining and molecular medicine, and is expected to enhance research using high-performance computing. In addition, the Chair will promote interdisciplinary studies and interactions among departments at Lakehead and with other universities. lnterprofessional Initiatives in the Health Care Sector The Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM) finalized its fourth year curriculum and is undergoing final accreditation in the fall of 2008. The School is continuing to develop educational programs that prepare graduates to meet the needs of their patients and the wider community, particularly in rural and northern settings. This year, in partnership with Lakehead University, NOSM received over $650,000 from HealthForceOntario for two projects that foster and build interprofessional initiatives. One project will establish a Northern lnterprofessional Centre for Health Education to support northern, rural, remote, and Aboriginal health needs. This will be done by building on the current Continuing Health Professional Education initiatives of NOSM and lnterprofessional Education offerings of Lakehead University and its partners. Do Something Awareness Campaign Lakehead launched an awareness campaign in the fall of 2007 to continue raising brand awareness, recognition, and engagement, and direct prospects to the University website. The Do Something awareness campaign positioned Lakehead University as a socially responsible institution offering relevant programs. The campaign received a Gold Award in the 2008 Prix d'Excellence awards program organized by the Canadian Council for the Advancement of Education. ■ �factSanJgureJ Full-Time Undergraduate Enrolment Enrolment 2007-2008 by Faculty 2007-2008 Social Sciences and Humanities Business Administration 32.0% 6.4% Professional Schools 20.4% Thunder Bay Campus Full-time undergraduate Part-time undergraduate Full-time graduate Part-time graduate 7,608 5,505 1,382 688 Orillia Campus Full-time undergraduate Part-time undergraduate 301 269 1.2% Medicine 33 32 7,909 Total Enrolment Science and Environmental Studies 14.9% Education 12.3% Engineering Forestry and the Forest Environment 10.9% 1.9% Degrees, Diplomas & Certificates Awarded 2007 Calendar Year Graduate Enrolment 2007-2008 Certificates Diplomas Bachelors Masters Doctorates 52 62 2,169 166 3 Total 2,452 Masters Full-Time Equivalent Enrolment {FTEs) 9,000 8,505 8,000 7,956 7,874 2005/06 2006/07 7,578 7,231 Professional Schools 7,000 Q) 2 Science & Environmental Studies :c :§> Q) 6,000 5,000 .E 'C C: co Q) :c 4,000 :§> 1B. en 3,000 w t;: 2,000 1,000 0 20 ■ Part-time 40 60 80 100 120 140 Number of Students ■ Full-time II 10 Lakehead University Annual Report 2007-2008 160 0 2003/04 ■ Graduate 2004/05 ■ Undergraduate 2007/08 �Access to Library Serial Titles Scholarships, Bursaries, & Awards in thousands of dollars $9,000 40,000 $8,132 35,535 $8,000 35,000 $7,000 29,088 30,000 $6,632 $5,969 $6,000 25,000 $6,827 22,381 $5,000 20,000 $4,000 15,000 $3,000 11,966 $2,000 $1,000 $0 2003/04 2004/05 2005/06 ■ Print & Microform 2006/07 2007/08 2003/04 2004/05 2005/06 2006/07 2007/08 ■ Electronic Research Grants & Contracts* Sources of Research Funding 2007-2008* in thousands of dollars in thousands of dollars $19,721 $20,000 Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council $18,431 $16,392** $15,000 $13,655 $10,000 22% $3,493 Canadian Institutes of Health Research 4% $715 Canada Research Chairs 4% $700 Other Federal 20% $3,284 Provincial 17% $2,816 $9,858 $5,000 Industry *Reference: Financial Report of Ontario Universities 2007-2008 **Preliminary 6% $1,043 Not-for-Profit 14% $2,306 Miscellaneous 8% $1,254 Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council 5% $781 �leadership Chancellor Administration Dean of Medicine (Northern Ontario School of Medicine) President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Roger Strasser Dr. Lorne Everett Dr. Frederick Gilbert Board of Governors 2007-2008 Chair Vice-President (Academic) and Provost Dean of Science and Environmental Studies Don Campbell Dr. Laurie Hayes Dr. Andrew Dean Members Associate Vice-President (Academic) Alex Boulet Dr. Moira McPherson Dean of Social Sciences and Humanities Colin Bruce Harvey Cardwell Dr. Gillian Siddall (Acting) Kevin Cleghorn Vice-President (Administration and Finance) University Librarian Andy Crooks Kurt Dahl Michael Pawlowski Anne Deighton Dr. Qing-Lai Dang Vice-President (Research) Controller James Dennison Dr. Rui Wang Rita Blais Jackie Dojack Kirk Dudtschak Associate Vice-President (Research) Registrar Dr. Urned Panu Anna Foshay Ann Dumyn Judy Flett Dr. Frederick Gilbert Len Hoey Vice-President (University Advancement) Director of Admissions and Recruitment John Singer John Smith David Heroux Peter Holt-Hindle Vice-Provost (Student Affairs) Director of Athletics Krystin Kempton Gil Labine Marian Ryks-Szelekovszky Thomas Warden Dr. Judith Leggatt Vice-Provost (Aboriginal Initiatives) Director of Communications Ron Marostica Brian McKinnon Beverly Sabourin Eleanor Abaya Dr. Moira McPherson Maria Phipps Orillia Campus Dean Director of Continuing Education and Distributed Learning Dr. Kim Fedderson Eamonn Percy Tim Pile Dean of Business Administration Doug Robson Dr. Bahram Dadgostar Lynne Sevean Bruce Waite Dean of Education Gwen Wajda Director of Human Resources Ray Raslack Dr. John O'Meara Director of Institutional Analysis/ Government Relations Dean of Engineering Kerrie-Lee Clarke Dr. Henri Saliba Director of Physical Plant Dean of Forestry and the Forest Environment Hugh Briggs Dr. Reino Pulkki Director of Risk Management and Access to Information Dean of Graduate Studies Dr. Milla Shaw Dr. Jane Crossman (Acting) Director of Technology Services Centre Dean of Health and Behavioural Sciences Dr. David Tranter (Acting) Bernie Blake Executive Director, University Services Grant Walsh 12 Lakehead University Annual Report 2007-2008 �Lakehead University Board of Governors. 200 7-2008 Missing: Alex Bott/et.

Authority and Purpose Lakehead University was incorporated as a university when the Lakehead University Act was given Royal Assent by the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario in 1965. Lakehead University serves a dual role in that it provides Northwestern Ontario with regional access to higher education while being committed to academic excellence on the provincial, national and international scenes. These financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, net assets, revenue, expenses and other transactions of all of the operations controlled by the University. Accordingly, these financial statements include the academic, administrative and other operating expenditures funded by fees, grants and other general revenue, restricted purpose endowment funds, and the ancillary operations, such as residences, food services, bookstore and parking. The University also has an economic beneficial interest in the Lakehead University pension plan, the activities of which are not consolidated into these financial statements (Note 17). The Lakehead University Pension Investment Fund is audited separately. The Northern Ontario School of Medicine is incorporated under the Ontario Business Corporations Act and is a not for profit organization. The School of Medicine was created in order to provide medical education in Northern Ontario. The University, along with Laurentian University, the only voting members of the School, has significant relationships with the School but the University has no claim to the net operating assets of the School and the University is not liable for any direct or contingent liabilities of the School. Accordingly, the operations of the School are not included in these financial statements. The University is a not-for-profit organization and, as such, is exempt from income taxes under the Income Tax Act (Canada). 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The financial statements of the University have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada within the framework of the accounting policies summarized below: a) Change in Accounting Policies On May 1, 2007 the University adopted four new accounting standards that were issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA"). These standards were: Comprehensive Income (handbook "Section 1530"), Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement (handbook "Section 3855"), Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation (handbook "Section 3861 "), and Hedges (handbook "Section 3865 "). As a result of the change, as at May 1, 2007 investments were increased by $1,013 and restricted net assets were increased by $1,013. In accordance with the transitional requirements, the comparative amounts have not been restated. b) Investments Investments are carried at fair value except for the marketable securities consisting of stripped coupon bonds. The calculation of estimated fair value is based upon market conditions at a specific point in time and may not be reflective of future fair values. Changes in fair values from one year to the next are reflected in the statement of operations in investment income or in endowments. The value of investments recorded in the financial statements is determined as follows: 1. Investments in pooled funds are valued at their reported net asset value per unit. 2. Publicly traded bonds are determined based on the latest bid prices. 3. Private investment interests, which consist of common shares in a Private Canadian Controlled Company, life insurance policies and other shares, are valued at cost. The university believes the carrying value of these financial instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value. c) Inventories Inventories, which consist of goods held for resale, are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is generally determined on a first in, first out basis. d) Capital Assets Purchased capital assets are recorded at cost. Contributed capital assets are recorded at fair value at the date of contribution. Capital assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which are: Site development Buildings Leasehold improvements Furniture and equipment Library books Interest incurred on funds borrowed during construction is capitalized as a cost of the project. 1O years 20 and 40 years 3 years 5 years 5 years �LAKl:Hl:ALJ UNIVl:R~ITY notes to the financial statements April 30, 2008 (in thousands of dollars) 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd) e) Revenue Recognition The University follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions, which include donations and government grants. Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue when received or receivable if the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Unrestricted donations are recorded on a cash basis since pledges are not legally enforceable claims. Contributions externally restricted for purposes other than endowment are deferred and recognized as revenue in the year in which the related expenses are recognized . Endowment contributions are recognized as direct increases in net assets in the year in which they are received . Student fees are recognized as revenue when courses and seminars are held. Sales and services revenue is recognized at point of sale or when the service has been provided . f) Contributed Materials and Services Volunteers contribute an indeterminable number of hours per year. Because of the difficulty of determining their fair value, contributed services are not recognized in these financial statements. g) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from management's best estimates as additional information becomes available in the future . h) Financial Instruments Financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, long-term investments, accounts payable and accrued charges and long-term debt. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the University is not exposed to significant interest, currency, or credit risks arising from its financial instruments and the carrying amounts approximate fair values. The University recognizes and measures financial assets and financial liabilities on the balance sheet when they become a party to the contractual provisions of a financial instrument. All transactions related to financial instruments are recorded on a settlement date basis. All financial instruments are measured at fair value on initial recognition . Measurement in subsequent periods depends on whether the financial instrument has been classified as "held for trading", "loans and receivables", "held to maturity", "available for sale" or "other financial liabilities" . "Held for trading" financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value and transaction costs are taken directly to the statements of earnings and equity. They are subsequently measured at fair value and gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded in the statements of earnings and equity. Long term investments and cash have been classified as "held for trading" by the University. "Loans and receivables" are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable repayment dates, usually with interest, that are not debt securities or instruments classified as "held for trading" on initial recognition. These instruments are initially recognized at fair value including direct and incremental transactions costs. They are subsequently valued at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any provision for impairment. Accounts receivable has been classified as "loans and receivables" . "Held to maturity" investments include financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that the University's management has the intention and ability to hold to maturity. They are initially recognized at fair value including direct and incremental transaction costs . They are subsequently valued at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any provision for impairment. Specific stripped coupon bonds have been classified as "held to maturity" . "Other financial liabilities" are non-derivative financial liabilities and include accounts payable and accrued charges and long-term debt. These instruments are initially recognized at fair value including direct and incremental transaction costs . They are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount of consideration that would be agreed upon in an arm's-length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties who are under no compulsion to act. Fair values are determined by reference to quoted bid or asking prices as appropriate, in the most advantageous active market for that instrument to which the University has immediate access. Fair values determined using valuation models require the use of assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and discounted rates. In determining those assumptions, external readily observable market inputs including interest rate yield curves, currency rates and price and rate volatilities are considered, as applicable . 20 Lakehead University Annual Report 2007-2008 �LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY notes to the financial statements April 30, 2008 (in thousands of dollars) 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd) i) Financial Accounting Changes The CICA has issued two new accounting standards, Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments - Disclosures and Handbook Section 3863, Financial Instruments - Presentation, which enhance the abilities of users of financial statements to evaluate the significance of financial instruments to an entity, related exposures and the management of these risks. The CICA has also issued a new accounting standard, CICA 1535, Capital Disclosures, which requires the disclosure of qualitative and quantitative information that enables users of financial statements to evaluate the entity's objectives, policies and processes for managing net assets . These new standards will be effective for the University starting May 1, 2008 . 3. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consist of the following: 2008 Tuition and residence fees Interest and sundry accounts Sponsored research monies Capital grants from government 4. 2007 $ 470 2,155 3,635 104 $ 497 2,851 2,887 125 $ 6,364 $ 6,360 Long-Term Investments Long-term investments consist of the following: Pooled funds Marketable securities carried at fair value (2007 at cost) Marketable securities carried at cost 2008 2007 $ 75,595 5,486 3,198 $ 72,966 4,439 3,056 $ 84,279 $ 80,461 The pooled funds consist of units held in balanced funds in trust and managed by professional external fund managers. The market value of the University's investment in these funds as at April 30, 2008 was $75,595 (2007 - $72,966). The increase in the investment during the fiscal year of $2,629 includes receipts of $3,101 and investment loss of $472 . Included in the pooled funds are internally restricted amounts created from excess borrowings of the Series A unsecured debenture described in 11.7. The market value as at April 30, 2008 is $38,488 representing an initial investment of $32,912 and investment income of $5,576; $2,356 of the investment income has been allocated to the University operations (($116 - 2008, $2,240 - 2007) (Note 12). Also included in the pooled funds is $3,566 (2007 - $2,147) of a debt repayment sinking fund for project loans being amortized over their initial terms. Marketable securities carried at fair value consist of investments in government and corporate bonds of $5,372 (2007 - $4,426 carried at cost), life insurance policies of $23 (2007 - $12), and shares of $91 (2007 - $1 ). The market value of the marketable securities as at April 30, 2008 was $5,486 (2007 - $5,452) . The bonds mature between 2007 and 2035 with annual yields ranging from 4 .2% to 8.5%. Included in the marketable securities carried at cost are Government of Canada and Ontario stripped coupon bonds originally purchased at a cost of $597 with average effective annual yields of approximately 10.4% maturing during 2008 and 2009 for a total value of $3,603 . These proceeds will be used to repay a mortgage on residence townhouses described in Note 11 .1. Interest accrued from the original purchase date to April 30, 2008 amounting to $2,587 has been added to the asset value resulting in a sinking fund balance of $3,184 (2007 - $2,886). Other securities carried at cost amount to $14. �LAl\.t:Mt:AU Ul'JIVt:tC>I I Y notes to the financial statements April 30, 2008 (in thousands of dollars) 5.

Property and Liability Insurance The University participates in a reciprocal exchange of insurance risks in association with forty-five other Canadian universities. This self-insurance cooperative involves a contractual agreement to share the property insurance and liability risks of member universities. The projected cost of settled claims will be funded through members' premiums based on actuarial projections. It is anticipated that a surplus will be created over time as a cushion against unexpected losses. In addition, the reciprocal has obtained substantial reinsurance with commercial insurers to cover major claims in excess of $2,500 per occurrence for property losses and in excess of $5,000 per occurrence for liability losses. In the event that premiums are not sufficient to cover claim settlements, the member universities would be subject to an assessment in proportion to their participation. 17. Pension Plan The University has two separate pension plans. 17.1 Pension Plan for Professional Staff The Pension Plan for Professional Staff is a contributory defined contribution pension plan. Faculty members and librarians contribute 6.5% of their earnings through payroll deductions. The University contributes 8.05% effective January 1, 2005 (7.8% prior to January 1, 2005). Non-faculty members contribute 8.05%, and the University matches these contributions. The Plan provides for a defined benefit guarantee for service prior to January 1, 1997 and removes the minimum pension based on a formula for future pensions commencing in 1997. The Plan's surplus will be increased by an amount equivalent to the Pension Guarantee Account remaining after provision for estimated pensions based upon the defined benefit guarantee. No part of this guarantee account and surplus is recognized in the financial statements as the amount may not be withdrawn by Lakehead University, nor may it be used to match contributions to the fund. Information about the defined benefit guarantee portion of this pension plan at April 30, 2007 is as follows based on an actuarial valuation prepared on a going concern basis at December 31, 2006. Pension plan assets Pension plan liabilities $202,637 199,671 Estimated pension plan surplus $ 2,966 The significant actuarial assumptions adopted in calculating the above amount include a discount rate of 6%, a general salary increase of 3.5% per annum, and mortality tables of UP94@15. In the event that an actuarial valuation discloses a going concern unfunded liability or a solvency deficiency as defined by the Pension Benefits Act (1987), the University will be obligated to make additional contributions as required by the Act. The actuarial valuation of the Plan at December 31, 2006, reported that based on then current provisions, the Plan was fully funded with no solvency deficiency and no requirement for additional University contributions. The next valuation should be carried out no later than December 31, 2009. 17.2 Lakehead University Employee Pension Plan The Lakehead University Employee Pension Plan is a contributory defined contribution pension plan. Under the Plan, employees contribute in a range from 7.15% to 7.90% of their earnings. The University matches the regular pension contributions made by members of the Plan. University Pension Plan contributions, together with investment income earned on the contributions, are applied on retirement to provide pensions as defined in the Plan. In addition to their regular contributions, members may voluntarily contribute additional contributions to provide increased benefits. Both employee and employer contributions are paid into the integrated Canada Pension and University Pension Plans. The employee benefits expense for the year includes pension expense of $2,420 (2007 - $2,399) and faculty early retirement benefits of $nil (2007 - $18). 18. Contingent Liabilities a) At April 30, 2008, the University was guarantor of five (2007 - nine) housing loans for faculty and staff in the amount of $49 (2007 - $109). b) The nature of the University's activities is such that there is usually litigation pending or in prospect at any one time. With respect to claims at April 30, 2008, the University believes it has valid defenses and appropriate insurance coverage in place. In the unlikely event any claims are successful such claims are not expected to have a material effect on the University's financial position. �LJ-\1\.CnCJ-\U Ul'<IIVCl"\:)11 T notes to the financial statements April 30, 2008 (in thousands of dollars) 19. 20. Commitments a) The estimated cost to complete the Orillia Campus Building in progress at April 30, 2008 is $40,000 . The $40,000 will be funded from donations, private sector contributions and borrowings . The ratio of borrowings to donations will depend on the success of the fundraising campaign. b) The following are the future minimum annual operating lease payments due over the next five years: Date Amount 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 $ 524 318 214 122 120 Statement of Cash Flows The net change in non-cash working capital balances related to operations consist of the following : 2008 Accounts receivable Inventory and prepaid expenses Accounts payable and accrued charges 21. 2007 $ (4) 2,084 (2,236) $ (807) (2,064) 1,255 $ (156) $ (1,616) Related Party Transactions During the year, the University undertook the following transactions with Northern Ontario School of Medicine: 2008 Recoveries and charges for goods and services $ 1,230 2007 $ 1,331 These transactions were in the normal course of operations and were measured at the exchange value, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed by the parties to the transaction and approximates the arm's length equivalent value. 22. SubsequentEvent On July 14, 2008, the University experienced a fire on the east wing of the Braun Building. The amount of damages is estimated at $2,500. With the exception of a deductible of $40 for building and contents and a deductible for $1 O for computer equipment, the insurance coverage should reimburse the University for replacement costs. 23.
