fifty-two indigenous youth from 29 communities are in thunder bay this week learning about geo-caching, cartography, sustainable energy, entrepreneurship, working with concrete, and more as part of science week with the outland youth employment program (oyep).

thunder bay, on, july 31, 2019 – fifty-two indigenous youth from 29 communities are in thunder bay this week learning about geo-caching, cartography, sustainable energy, entrepreneurship and more as part of science week with the outland youth employment program (oyep).

the youth and their crew leaders are part of a national network of oyep camps, a collaborative project between industry, the province, and confederation college and 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 .

since 2000, outland, a division of dexterra, has partnered with confederation college and 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 to offer land-based education training and employment programs for indigenous youth in ontario. to date, the partnership has resulted in over 500 participants from over 55 communities completing the programs.

“the science camp is a great opportunity for confederation college to host anishinaabe youth, to open up our doors to them and to showcase all the great opportunities that come with being a college student,” said chris paci, chair of engineering technology, and organizer the camp activities at confederation. “we get them thinking about careers in engineering technology, natural resources, health and hospitality. we want the camp to be culturally relevant, engaging, fun and to let youth know that even if they didn’t think they could go to college, that there’s a place for them here. we are proud to be an ongoing partner.”

sarah ambroziak, national manager, outland, a division of dexterra, spoke to the long-standing partnership with both institutions. “oyep is a great example of the power of partnership. the collaborative efforts of outland, confederation college and 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 have supported the educational and employment goals of over 500 indigenous youth in ontario. each partner brings unique expertise to the program, allowing us to deliver a robust summer experience for all youth involved. we look forward to many more years of oyep in ontario.”

science week, running july 29 to august 2, includes field trips to local facilities and guest speakers from confederation college, 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 and the natural resources industry. participants have multiple opportunities to gain hands-on experience in science, technology, engineering and math (stem) and natural resource fields, with a focus on indigenous history and technology. activities range from designing an atlatl—ancient throwing spears from the northwest region—to the exploration of stream ecosystems with underwater drones. the group will also learn about the history, policies, impacts and effects of residential schools through the kairos blanket exercise facilitated by lakehead staff.

“it is very important that today’s youth are better equipped to appreciate how an understanding of stem and natural resource management impacts their day-to-day lives and the prosperity of communities across the north,” said denise baxter, vice-provost, aboriginal initiatives, 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 .

“indigenous youth from the region have a great opportunity to engage in experiential learning at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 . the aboriginal mentorship program and lakehead are honoured to host youth from the region in partnership with outland youth employment program and confederation college,” she added.

the program will continue through mid-august. oyep will be celebrating 20 years of delivery at confederation college on august 14, 2019.

isobel flindall from brighton, right, did interviews with thunder bay television, country and the bay fm, and the chronicle-journal about shad on canada day.

july 1, 2019 – thunder bay, ont.

approximately 65 young people from across canada are participating in shad at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 from july 1 until july 25.

shad specializes in steam subjects (science, technology, engineering, art and math) and is for 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 currently completing grade 10, 11 or 12, quebec secondaire iv, v or cegep i, or the international equivalent.

founded in 1980 to help youth reach their full potential, shad is a one-month enrichment program allowing 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 to interact with renowned university faculty and visionary corporate leaders. 

june 13, 2019 – thunder bay, ont.

this spring, 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 ’s agricultural research station has initiated a study on urea super granules (superu® fertilizer) on canola, which responds to high amounts of nitrogen.

“i believe we are the first in ontario to test this new fertilizer product on canola,” said dr. tarlok sahota, director of 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 ’s agricultural research station (luars). 

superu® is a ready-to-use premium fertilizer that offers highly effective above and below ground protection against all three forms of nitrogen loss (volatilization, denitrification and leaching). the water-soluble granules are uniformly integrated with the dual inhibitors, nbpt and dcd, to deliver consistent performance. backed by 25 years of research, superu® has been shown to keep nitrogen where you need it, giving you the potential to increase your yield.

research conducted elsewhere has shown that superu® could enhance nitrogen efficiency and optimize crop yields. luars will be comparing superu® with urea and combinations of urea and esn and will also be trying combinations of superu® and esn at 90, 180, 270 and 360 kg n application per hectare.

阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 ’s agricultural research station has often taken initiative to test new fertilizer products or the fertilizers that were not used by area producers. in 2004, the research station initiated research on ammonium sulphate that contains two prime essential nutrients: nitrogen and sulphur.

farmers started using it in 2005. in 2006, the research station was the first agricultural research facility in ontario to test environmentally smart nitrogen (esn), a polymer coated slow release urea fertilizer – and ontario farmers started using it in 2009. in the thunder bay area, its use increased to the extent that the manager of the thunder bay co-op has been thinking of adding two separate bins for esn. both ammonium sulphate and esn helped increase nitrogen use efficiency and improve crop yields and quality of produce on farms.

(july 23, 2019) / kenora: 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 and seven generations education institute (sgei) are partnering this september to deliver the all nation nurses entry program (annep), a nine-month certificate program designed to encourage treaty three members to pursue careers as registered nurses while remaining in their communities.

the program, open to indigenous and non-indigenous applicants, provides 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 with the prerequisites needed to enter a bachelor of science in nursing (bscn) program.

“travelling far away from home to complete a program like this serves as a huge barrier for our learners,” says brent tookenay, ceo of seven generations education institute. “opening doors to a rewarding career that starts in a student’s own community provides opportunities they may otherwise not have pursued.”

“we would like to see an increased number of indigenous nurses working in northwestern ontario,” says karen mcqueen, 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 associate professor and director of the school of nursing. “we hope that this program welcomes more indigenous learners into the bscn program and the nursing workforce.”

the curriculum for the program is based on 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 ’s native nurses entry program and attempts to address indigenous health and education inequities. it directly responds to the truth and reconciliation commission's call to action 23 of increasing the number of aboriginal professionals working in the health-care field.

the annep program is being delivered at lakehead's thunder bay campus and sgei’s fort frances, kenora and sioux lookout campuses via telepresence technology.

june 21, 2019 – thunder bay, ont.

the 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 finnish chair advisory committee is pleased to announce the appointment of dr. kari alenius as the ninth chair in finnish studies.

dr. alenius will be in thunder bay for the 2019-20 fall and winter terms.

since 2014, dr. alenius has served as the head of the department of history, culture and communications and as the head of transcultural encounters research centre (tcerc) at the university of oulu.

dr. alenius obtained his phd in history from the university of oulu and his doctoral dissertation was on the estonian image of finland and the finns from the period of national awakening to the end of the tsarist era (approx. 1850-1917). since then, he has published numerous books and articles on the history of estonia and other subjects.

his second monograph was on the ethnic relations in estonia during the interwar period (1920s) and this was followed by a finnish-language history of the baltic states. his fourth monograph continued to study ethnic relations. this time the subject was the development of the legal status of national minorities in germany (weimar republic).

he then went on to study political narratives and propaganda, focusing on the rhetoric of the great powers in the un security council (1946-1956) in his fifth monograph. in other research projects, he has studied inter/transcultural relations, national identities, and war propaganda.

dr. alenius has taught a wide variety of courses at the university of oulu. in recent years, his teaching has included introduction to the history of minorities; history of propaganda, the societal development of germany, 1918-1945; finland and the baltic countries as an area of interest of the great powers, 1900-1945.

in addition to lectures, he has conducted graduate seminars at the m.a. and phd levels, and he has supervised literature examinations on, for example, the history of ethnic relations, historiography, philosophy of history, and international and cultural interaction. 

during the 2019–2020 academic year at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 , he is conducting research on the birth of the canadian image of finland in the 19^th and early 20^th century.

free-ranging herbivores typically aggregate when they are feeding, though at first glance, if they are making a good choice, we might ask how occupying the same area is not just a cost in terms of competition for food. speculating why aggregation occurs and understanding how it might influence animal well-being are important pursuits in ecology and on the farm.

knowing why aggregation occurs is in the realm of setting hypotheses. the simplest idea for aggregation among large mammalian herbivores is that they aggregate in areas where nutritional quality and availability of food are higher, and followers look to a lead animal to find these areas. thus, herbivores are “optimally foraging” or “matching” the proportional time spent grazing to the amount of available nutrients associated with different plant communities. however, if there were additional benefits to aggregation, it becomes easier to explain why aggregation occurs where areas of higher food resources are fairly well distributed, or if forage is managed optimally by the farmer, leaving the animals free to wander at will. proposed benefits have focused on two adaptive anti-predator strategies: “prey dilution” (the chance that any individual will be the victim of a group attack by a predator is lower with higher group sizes) and “many eyes” (replacing individual vigilance with group vigilance that leaves more time for foraging).

an experiment to test the effect of different group sizes on the comfort level animals experience when foraging is one way of assessing costs and risks in foraging because food quality can be kept constant. the classic experiment measures “giving-up densities,” or guds, developed by evolutionary ecologist dr. joel brown in 1988. it has been most often applied in the field setting to small mammals with unrestricted access to feeding trays. guds are estimates of the density of food remaining at the end of an experimental feeding bout, in which food mixed with an inert substrate is supplied to individuals free to leave feeding trays at any time.

the theory is as follows: when foraging optimally in an environment where resources are distributed heterogeneously in patches, an individual is expected to feed in a patch until the energy gained by foraging just balances its metabolic, predation risk, and missed opportunity costs. an individual forager should choose to abandon a riskier patch at a higher rate of harvest, leaving behind a higher gud than it would in a safer patch. likewise, a dominant individual should see missed opportunities in the partially consumed trays of neighboring foragers and may leave their own tray early.

we observed group foraging in domesticated north american elk (wapiti, cervus canadensis) that were native, three to four generations earlier, to the canadian prairies. our study took place in six outdoor paddocks and involved a total of 26 domesticated elk raised at egli’s sheep farm near dryden, ontario. the property where the elk are maintained is subdivided into six fenced, open-field paddocks, ranging in size from four to eight hectares, along with an enclosed barn. we did the work in winter and we used the farm environment as a way to standardize habitat and disentangle relationships between the number of animals in a small group and perception of fear and exertion of dominance.

our predictions were as follows. if enough individual elk each experience higher comfort levels when foraging in larger groups, then collectively they should exploit feeding trays to lower instantaneous rates of harvest, i.e. lower average guds, with increasing group size. if only average scanning time, the amount of time spent vigilant for perceived predators or other intruders, is consistent with the group size effect, then there is less support for lower perceived costs of predation or higher security, as foraging may be simply an uncomfortable “race with the neighbors.” this prediction is consistent with an anti-predator hypothesis for social behavior and with the idea that domesticated elk still recognize and manage fear.

presence of dominant individuals in a group can be expected to increase average guds and change the feeding dynamic, particularly if subordinates cease feeding when challenged by a neighbor. this prediction is consistent with a role for direct resource competition and with observations of a shift in activity created as a result of interference as an additional cost of foraging. observing females with calves offers a special case to observe defensive behaviors in groups. females with their young should exhibit greater vigilance and not reduce their scanning time, as would be expected with the group size effect.

feeding trays were wooden boxes with a top opening 53 cm by 23 cm and a depth of 20 cm. the top opening of each tray was overlaid with two pieces of heavy wire to create three equally-sized openings of 0.23 m by 0.18 m. the wire prevented spillage of the alfalfa mixture from the tray during foraging bouts. trays were filled with a mixture of 500 g of dried, livestock-grade alfalfa pellets and 300 pieces of 2.5 cm long, 2.5 cm diameter, black polyvinyl chloride (pvc) tube. we added the pieces of pipe to the feeding trays to make the smaller alfalfa pellets more difficult to access, especially as the alfalfa was depleted. the same quantity of alfalfa pellets was used at the outset of all trials, so that the pvc provided a matrix with diminishing returns as the food was exploited through time, mimicking a natural patch.

among 10 adult individuals tracked as focal animals through at least three trials, all but one had differences in guds between trials; in all these nine cases, guds were lower with larger group size. throughout five trial periods of about a week each, average guds and average scanning time during ten-minute video samples of the foraging bouts both decreased with increasing group size. the group size effect for both guds and scanning time was exponential, showing most gains reached by group sizes of 10 elks. guds were lower when mothers were with their calves. however, with or without calves, neither scanning time nor the relationship of scanning time with group size changed. including a parameter for dominant females in a group allowed for a stronger relationship between guds and group size.

that group size was related to both guds and scanning rate in a direction expected from the “many‐eyes’ effect suggests that, despite being free from predators, domesticated elk still perceive greater fear when in smaller groups. this interpretation of the group size effect is, however, unequivocal because the heightened perception of missed opportunities, in place of or in addition to a lower perception of predation risk, could have resulted from feeding in larger groups. however, we believe we bypassed difficulty in interpreting fear perception by using the gud methodology. observed lower guds when females were together with their calves, as well as the other results, differ from past interpretations in observing vigilance in elk groups in national parks, where habitat is a factor determining fear perception.

dominant individuals in free-ranging groups of elk have been shown to displace their subordinates and appropriate their feeding patches whenever they perceive that group mates are encountering higher food availability, an effect that is known as “kleptoparasitism.” however, scanning time in the dominant farm animals we tracked showed contradictory patterns; it was not higher than in subordinates, nor did any other difference in the behavior of dominants occur with changes in group size. dominant individuals were perhaps simply those more skillful at managing fear; we saw no activity suggesting that they shifted the activity of subordinates that left their trays. thus, managing predation risk using group formation could be especially important where dominants contribute a sense of security to the whole group. absence of opportunity for group formation or perception of cohesion could have conservation implications by impacting individual survival, in turn leading to population-level effects, both in a wild and a farm setting.

in the design of our experiment, logistical issues precluded replication of group sizes over all trial periods. thus, changes in snow depth, ambient temperature, moon phase, and perhaps the progression of pregnancy may have affected foraging behavior between periods without our ability to describe the effects. nevertheless, gud methodology appears a suitable means of assessing foraging behavior across a range of group sizes. experimentation and development of our methodology could add it to social network analysis, such that it may be used to assess foraging behavior and decisions in the individuals that form groups, testing, for example, the hypothesis that dominants take on leadership roles in group cohesion.

for the time being, we interpret captive female elk to experience greater security as their group size increases to 10. presence of calves and of dominant females also appears to foster greater security. this information can translate to better livestock management. pasture configuration aiming to foster closer groups feeding together could promote a healthier herd and more effective use of foraging areas. farmers should manage groups to include calves with their dams whenever possible, and also consider the social organization of the herd to include one dominant in a leadership role.

june 14, 2019 — thunder bay, ont.

from october 3-5, 2019, 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 and the thunderwolves will be welcoming 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , alumni, and friends back to campus to celebrate the annual homecoming weekend.

lakehead athletics is especially excited to welcome back those who have been a part of the lakehead wrestling team, which is entering into its 50th season. those in attendance will also witness the wall of fame induction of five special individuals and one incredible team.

established in 1996, the lakehead athletics’ wall of fame has existed to acknowledge athletes, coaches, teams and administrators who have made exceptional contributions to lakehead athletics over the years.

“what the wall of fame does is highlight our history in sport,” said lou pero, chair of the wall of fame committee.

“by recognizing various athletes who were outstanding at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 , we are able to identify that individual for their time here and what they gave to the university and also what they gave to the community and what they gave to their sport,” pero added.

this year’s inductees consist of one builder, two male and two female athletes, and one team.
inductees from top left – justin beauparlant (male athlete), 2001-2002 men’s wrestling team, ron lappage (builder), jylisa williams (female athlete), andrew ritchie (male athlete), and kelly williams (female athlete).

lakehead athletics is proud to announce that ron lappage will be inducted into the builder category.

ron started making his mark on the lakehead thunderwolves in 1972 when he joined 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 as a physical education lecturer and as an assistant coach for the wrestling team. during his time at lakehead, ron represented lu on the northwestern ontario hall of fame board of directors, helped establish the wall of fame, started the lu judo club, served as the acting director of the school of p.e. and outdoor rec, was the acting director for the school of p.e. and athletics and was lakehead’s director of the school of kinesiology.

june 11, 2019 – orillia, on

directly or indirectly, water is central to our lives in every way. water is also the focus of 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 ’s office of community engagement and lifelong learning’s upcoming event, women and water.

on wednesday, june 19 people of all ages will gather for an evening of stories, teachings, and songs that share a common theme: the centrality of water. three remarkable women will join 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 for women and water and help explore, embrace and celebrate our relationships with water.

kim wheatley, water walker and anishinaabe traditional grandmother, will open the event with traditional stories, songs and teachings. 

maude barlow, honorary chairperson of the council of canadians, chair of food and water watch, and 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 honorary degree recipient (2005) will answer the question, "whose water is it anyway?", and discuss the fight for water justice in canada and abroad.

the evening will also feature canadian singer-songwriter, coco love alcorn, who people will remember from her amazing turn at the mariposa folk festival in 2018, will perform her viral hit, "the river," along with many other top songs.  

“we have been working really hard in orillia to think through and address climate change and embrace sustainability,” said dr. linda rodenburg, coordinator of community engagement and lifelong learning. “we wanted to do something to celebrate our commitment to addressing these issues.  everyone can learn something about the water, and embrace its importance in their own ways.” 

rodenburg points out that, according to local indigenous teachings, women are the keepers of the water. this doesn’t mean that the event is only for women, however. “their message is for everyone in our community, men and women, young and old,” she said.
