Lakehead University's Wireless Campus Policy
Lakehead University would like to inform all of our new students, faculty, and staff, as well as remind the entire University Community, that the Institution does not have a wireless network environment at either the Thunder Bay or the Orillia Campus.
A policy decision based on the “precautionary principle” was made at the Presidential level to not install wireless technology due to a number of compelling and well researched reasons, including health, security, and cost, in that order. Numerous scientific studies suggest that there is a basis for concern since continuous or frequent long-term exposure to WiFi electromagnetic fields (EMFs) could have adverse health effects, including risks for both childhood and adult cancers. A recent report by an international working group of scientists, researchers, and public health policy professionals (The BioInitiative Working Group - www.bioinitiative.org) documents scientific evidence that even small levels of exposure to radiofrequency and microwave radiations emitted by wireless technologies, including WiFi, can result in physical symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, changes in brainwave activity, and impairment of concentration and memory.
Although Lakehead University’s primary mandate is to provide superior educational programs and the best delivery systems possible within available resources, this mandate is not to come at the potential expense of the long-term health of our students and employees. It is very important to note, however, that although we have not elected to establish wireless technology on our campuses, Lakehead is in fact, completely connected to the worldwide web through a comprehensive and state-of-the-art fibre optic network. With over 8,000 Ethernet ports, including ‘hardwired hook-ups’ at our many Internet Carousels and Computer Labs, students can enjoy secure communications from our University computers equipped with Internet access and specialized software. Additionally, all of our residence accommodations have network ports installed for connecting personal computers to the Lakehead network.
Lakehead University has always been a leader in, and a champion of, technology-based initiatives. The Institution was one of the first in Canada to implement IP Telephony service and remains a pioneer in this field with one of the largest deployments of VoIP technology in the Education sector. Our Advanced Technology and Academic Centre (ATAC), boasting state-of-the-art Technology Enhanced Classrooms, a Virtual Reality Environment, and High-Performance Computing Facility, positions the Institution as an innovator in high-tech learning and research environments. The University will continue to embrace and pursue technology advancements, and will do so with the health and safety of our students and employees at the forefront of our collective decision-making.

I was looking through flickr and noticed some of your photos of the Haliburton Wolf Center. I have a children's book coming out very soon about wildlife in captivity and I'm looking for a decent photo of the wolf centre for a profile I've included. I wouldn't mind submitting your photo entitled The Haliburton Forest Wolf Centre uploaded November 8, 2006 (wolf and cub in grass) to my editor for consideration. Do you mind if I submit your photo?
Thanks. I look forward to hearing from you.

This is one top-10 list Thunder Bay and area residents could probably do without.
Information released Wednesday by Statistics Canada indicates the immediate Thunder Bay area remains the fourth most violent in the country (Canada).
In the category of total violent crime, the Saskatchewan cities of Saskatoon and Regina led the way with a rate of 1,606 and 1,546 crimes per 100,000. Saint John was third at 1,313, followed by Thunder Bay (1,308) and Halifax (1,261).
Violent crime stats remain high

MOBIUS STRIP
The track I'm running on
Won't be the same when I turn back
It's useless to follow it straight
I'll return to another place
I circle around but the sky changes
Yesterday I was a child
I'm a man now
The world's a strange thing
And the rose among the roses
Doesn't resemble another rose.

On behalf of Administration and negotiating parties for Lakehead University, we are pleased to announce that a tentative agreement has been reached with members of CUPE 3905 at a meeting held today, April 2. Lakehead University had been in talks with the bargaining unit of CUPE 3905, which represents Lakehead University’s Teaching and Graduate Assistants, since February 2006. After numerous negotiation sessions and mediated talks the parties arrived at a tentative agreement today. The tentative agreement will be put forward for ratification by the parties later in the week. Lakehead University values its Teaching and Graduate Assistants greatly. In fact, their work is inextricably linked with the University’s research and academic endeavours, without which a number of the University’s strategic goals would be compromised. Lakehead University wishes to thank and acknowledge the cooperation of the CUPE and Lakehead University bargaining teams for working to ensure a positive outcome.
