Message from the

President

LAKELAND COLLEGE // ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014

The 2013-2014 year was a momentous year for Lakeland College as we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the college’s first academic year. After serving as a demonstration farm for two years, the Vermilion School of Agriculture (VSA) officially opened on Nov. 17, 1913. Our college is the third oldest post-secondary institution in Alberta. We’ve weathered two world wars, a flu epidemic, the great depression, a fire and several economic recessions. But through it all we’ve not only persevered – we’ve flourished. The college has seen campus expansion, tremendous growth in enrolment, remarkable changes in programming and technology, and increased community engagement. Students and alumni have enjoyed countless noteworthy accomplishments. This past year was no exception. Kyle Smith won the carpentry event at the Alberta Skills Canada Competition and advanced to nationals where he placed fourth. Our business students won the Alberta Deans of Business case competition, and seven interior design technology students placed or received honourable mentions in student design competitions. Another student-centred milestone we celebrated was the growth of our awards program. Almost $1.2 million in awards, scholarships and bursaries were given to our students. Thank you to donors for giving to our awards program, donating gifts-in-kind, sponsoring events, and supporting capital projects such as the Energy Centre under construction at the Lloydminster campus. Lakeland received almost $3 million in donations during the year. Collaboration with Campus Alberta partners, school divisions and organizations increased learning opportunities for high school students and adults in our region and beyond. For example, we worked with Fishing Lake Métis Settlement to offer an introductory heavy equipment technology course and signed agreements with local school divisions to offer more dual credit courses to high school students.

In applied research, Lakeland’s name is more recognizable every year particularly in environmental sustainability and agriculture. This past year, we made the inaugural Top 50 Research Colleges list created by Research Infosource. While we have many success stories to share, we also have our share of obstacles. One of the biggest difficulties we face is funding infrastructure maintenance and renewal. The average age of campus facilities is 35 years and many buildings and labs are in need of significant upgrades or replacement. Without regular preventative maintenance, many of the facilities will require replacement. Staffing is another concern. Hiring qualified instructors and lab technicians in a region with very low unemployment rates is a challenge. Although attracting new employees is not always easy, we have no reservations about the commitment and talent of the employees who work at Lakeland. Their dedicated service is our greatest strength. Our current and past employees have created the Lakeland community – a community that over the past 100 years has helped thousands and thousands of students achieve their educational goals. In 1928 a student contest led to our college adopting the motto Ever to Excel and 86 years later, these words still hold true. I know Lakeland will continue to drive innovation and learning forward with a strong focus on learner success, relevant programming and research, connectivity and sustainability. I assure you that we will never stop striving Ever to Excel.

Review LEARNER SUCCESS

Alumni excellence

Lakeland’s case competition team, featuring five students from different business majors, placed first in the 2014 Alberta Deans of Business competition. Callie Larson, Thomas Hussey, Susan Derroch, Nick Gulak, and Kirsten Wilkinson received $4,000 for the win. Brad Onofrychuk, chair of the business department, served as team facilitator. The competition was held at Red Deer College in March 2014.

During the 2014 convocation ceremonies, two alumni were inducted to Lakeland’s Alumni Wall of Distinction. In recognition of his extraordinary volunteer work in his hometown of Spruce Grove and with many organizations in Alberta, Allan Shenfield from the Class of 1949 received the Vermilion Campus Distinguished Alumni Award. Lloydminster Mayor Rob Saunders of the Class of 1983 received the Lloydminster Campus Distinguished Alumni Award. His leadership and community service as well as his extensive involvement in the oil and gas industry have helped make Lloydminster a better place.

Two third-place finishes and four honourable mentions during the 2013-2014 academic year extended the interior design technology winning streak in student design competitions to 11 years. Krista Savino placed third in the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) bathroom design competition and Megan MacNaughton received an honourable mention. Students from 39 colleges and universities throughout North America participated in the competition. Breanne Corey was third in the NKBA and GE Appliances Charette kitchen design competition. Honourable mentions went to MacNaughton, Erica Shaw, and Charles Kimball. There were close to 200 competitors from 19 NKBA-accredited colleges and universities in the competition, and only 10 winning students were acknowledged. Kyle Smith proved that he more than measures up with the top postsecondary carpentry students in Canada. The apprentice carpenter placed fourth in the Skills Canada National Competition in Toronto in June. He qualified for nationals after winning the carpentry event at the Alberta Skills Canada Competition in Edmonton in May. It was standing room only as crop technology students shared the Student Managed Farm (SMF) – Powered by New Holland story during Farm Tech Conference at Northlands in Edmonton in January 2014. Eight second-year students talked about their Lakeland experiences during two separate agriculture awareness sessions at the conference. The Lakeland presentations received the third highest audience ranking at the crop production and farm management conference. The SMF was also profiled on Global News throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan. A photo finish meant a few tense moments for both racers and spectators, but the nail biting was rewarded with Lakeland Rustlers second consecutive novice women’s 8 gold medal at the Western Canadian University Rowing Championships. The crew defeated teams from University of British Columbia and University of Victoria in the gold medal race. In other sports news, the rodeo team won four Canadian National College Finals Rodeo championships and the men’s and women’s futsal teams both won silver at the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) futsal finals. Two Rustlers were named Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association Academic All-Canadians. 8

University transfer alumnus Tyson Lancaster, Class of 2011, was one of six first-year teachers in Alberta to win an Edwin Parr Award for demonstrating exceptional and innovative teaching skills. Richard and Nicole Brosseau, grads in the late 1990s of Lakeland’s livestock production program, received the Outstanding Young Farmers award for the Alberta/NWT region. Alumnus Michele (Genereux) Prince, Class of 1987, was inducted into the ACAC Hall of Fame along with former Lakeland coaches Les Parsons and Phil Allen.

RELEVANT PROGRAMMING AND RESEARCH The street rod technologies program kicked off in the fall of 2013. A National Fire Protection Association 1001 firefighter program scheduled to start in St. Albert in June was postponed until 2015. With the addition of a third class boiler in the steam lab at the Lloydminster campus, Lakeland offered steam time courses for people seeking steam time to complete their fourth class power engineering certification. From June 2013 to July 2014, 67 students from Ontario, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Alberta completed the provincial requirement of 200 hours of steam time.

More opportunities on the horizon as Energy Centre nears completion Construction of the new Energy Centre at the Lloydminster campus continued. Throughout the year cutting-edge equipment arrived from places throughout North America and beyond. The Energy Centre will be equipped with a two-storey distillation tower and four types of boilers – once through, D-type water-tube, O-type water-tube and fire-tube. The lab will have six breakout training rooms which include a control room, water treatment technology, refrigeration equipment, pump repair and two working labs. Thanks to specialized computer software programs, students will be able to simulate complete heavy oil upgrading and steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) processes from beginning to end in the Energy Centre. Multiple heating systems will be used so students can study

different types of technology. It’s anticipated that construction of the Energy Centre will be completed during the next academic year. The Energy Centre will make it possible for Lakeland to substantially increase its full-time and part-time heavy oil and power engineering programs and courses.

Dual credit and CTS options increase Lakeland and Buffalo Trail Public Schools announced in January that they will develop a dual credit carpentry program that will start in the fall of 2014. Lakeland also signed a Memorandum of Agreement with Northern Lights School Division to develop more career and technology studies (CTS) and dual credit course options with a focus on trades, power engineering, business entrepreneurship, environmental sciences, interior design and service rig worker.

Known for research Lakeland made the inaugural Top 50 Research Colleges list in 2013, placing 46th. The list was created by Research Infosource. At Lakeland, applied research is focused primarily on the areas of environmental sustainability and agriculture, including a unique geothermal testing field, a renewable energy learning centre, thermal energy storage, livestock and crop research and development, and biochar development. Construction of a bio-energy centre began in the spring.

CONNECTIVITY Seeing The Upside The Upside, a wellness strategy developed at Lakeland to promote health and happiness, received national recognition. Wellness advisors Melissa Rothwell and Nadine Konyk developed the anonymous compliments campaign and did presentations about The Upside at the provincial student services conference in Edmonton and the national conference in Nova Scotia.

President retires After more than 30 years working at Lakeland, including seven years as president and chief executive officer, Glenn Charlesworth retired at the end of 2013. Charlesworth started his career at Lakeland College in 1982 as a business instructor. He became the president and chief executive officer on July 1, 2006.

Distinguished citizen recipients Ed Stelmach, Alberta’s 13th premier, received a Distinguished Citizen Award from Lakeland during the Vermilion campus convocation ceremony. He urged the Class of 2014 to be critical thinkers, not just critics, and to recognize the difference between informed opinion and willful ignorance wrapped in simple sound bites. “Being first and loudest doesn’t make an opinion valuable,” he said. Vic Juba, one of Lloydminster’s most involved citizens, received a Distinguished Citizen Award at the Lloydminster campus convocation ceremony. “I’ve received congratulatory letters, certificates, plaques and medals, but today I’ve received the most prestigious award of my life. Thank you for this honour,” said Juba.

Conclusion of centennial celebrations Lakeland’s yearlong centennial celebrations concluded in November with Green and Gold Weekend. Dr. Richard Starke, MLA for Vermilion-Lloydminster and one of the speakers at the finale, told guests that he’s very proud to be the MLA for a constituency with such an outstanding post-secondary institution within its boundaries. “Lakeland really understands the role of a post-secondary institution – to maximize the opportunity for our young people, to engage with the community and to be a part of the growth of our province and indeed Western Canada and the world.”

Lakeland adds great value to the region Through the spending of Lakeland, its employees and its students plus the impact of increased productivity of former students employed in the regional workforce, the college adds $168 million to the local economy in a year. That was one of the findings of an economic impact study completed in June by Economic Modeling Specialists Inc. using data from the 2012-2013 year. The study found that for every $1 students invest in a Lakeland education, they receive a cumulative $4.50 in higher future earnings over the course of their working careers. The study also noted that for every dollar Alberta taxpayers spent on Lakeland during the year, society will receive $6.60 in added provincial income and social savings related to the improved lifestyles of students. Education is statistically correlated with improved health, reduced crime and fewer demands for income assistance.

Dr.Tracy Edwards succeeded Charlesworth as president in January 2014.

Hansen a hit at President’s Gala Rick Hansen received two standing ovations from an appreciative and inspired crowd at the second annual President’s Gala. The Canadian hero shared stories of his Paralympic accomplishments, the Man in Motion World Tour, and life as a spinal cord research advocate. Among those at the gala was Alberta Premier Dave Hancock.

LAKELAND COLLEGE // ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014

Performance

Review In the 2013-2016 Comprehensive Institutional Plan, Lakeland outlined outcomes related to learner success, relevant programming and research, connectivity and sustainability. In the following pages, Lakeland reports on the progress made towards achieving these outcomes.

OUTCOME 1 – OPTIMIZE LEARNER SUCCESS Strategy: Optimize graduate employment Objective: Increase in industry satisfaction with Lakeland College graduates. Result: Achieved. In the spring of 2014, Insightrix Research conducted a quantitative research study with employers who have hired Lakeland graduates within the past three years. A similar survey was conducted in 2009.

Q. How do Lakeland graduates compare with graduates from other post-secondary institutions? 2009 A lot better

2014

In 2014 the School of Trades and Technology surveyed preemployment students who completed studies in the fall of 2013 and found 88% of respondents were employed in a related field. Lakeland welcomes employers to recruit students on campus. During the 2013-2014 academic year, 81 employers participated in job and career fairs or individual events at Lakeland. Ten companies conducted interviews at the college. In addition, 782 jobs were posted on the student employment page on Lakeland’s website.

Strategy: Improve student retention Objective: 1% increase in retention from semester to semester. Result:

Not achieved.

Average retention for two-year programs was 90%, a decrease of 2% from the previous year. In August 2013 Lakeland launched College Prep 101, an online course to help new students prepare for college. The five-hour online course covers topics such as understanding assignments, communicating with instructors, preparing for exams, and dealing with stress. Eighty-seven students registered for the course and 73 successfully completed it before classes started.

Unknown. Measurement under review.

Strategy: Increase alumni engagement

Current data is not available to measure college-wide progress for this objective. The last grad employment survey was conducted in 2012.

Objective: 2% decrease in student withdrawals due to financial reasons.

Objective: 1 % increase in students employed in their field within 12 months of graduation Unknown.

2013-2014

Objective: 2% increase in number of alumni donations

There were 139 alumni who donated money to Lakeland, an increase of 36% from the previous year’s total of 102.

OUTCOME 2 – STRATEGICALLY PROVIDE PROGRAMS TO MEET STUDENT, GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRY NEEDS Strategy: Satisfy students

Innovates -Technology Futures, Canada Foundation for Innovation, and Alberta Innovation and Advanced Education’s Research Capacity Program. That total was a substantial increase from the previous year’s total of $640,000. During the 2013-2014 academic year, Lakeland received $762,000 in funding.

Objective: One action taken in response to student satisfaction survey.

Objective: 1 .5 full-time equivalent (FTE) increase in faculty involved in funded applied research.

Result: Achieved.

Result:

Student surveys revealed that students wanted to know as soon as possible when they are not doing well in class. As a result, many programs now use an early alert and intervention system to help struggling students receive help sooner.

Faculty involvement did not increase. Involvement totaled 1.75 FTE.

From May to August when “traditional” full-time students are not on campus, access to computer labs and student study spaces was restricted. Firefighter and emergency services technology students indicated in surveys that they were not happy with the limited access. Lakeland responded by providing daytime and evening access to these spaces. Another survey indicated that students considered the lighting unsafe in a parking lot near the Mead Building at the Vermilion campus. The lighting was improved during this reporting year. Early learning and child care diploma students expressed concern that some of the second year courses were only available in an online format. In response, three courses previously offered only online will be delivered in a face-to-face format next year.

Strategy: Maintain enrolment Objective: 2% increase in number of applicants converted to enrolments. Result: Achieved. Lakeland realized a 3.8% increase in applicants to enrolments from 2012-2013 to 2013-2014.

Strategy: Align with government Objective: 2% increase in enrolment in government-identified target programming areas. These include trades, university transfer, heavy oil, agricultural sciences and environmental sciences. Result:

Achieved.

Lakeland trained 1,306 apprentices during the year, an increase of 15% from the previous year. Total full-time and part-time enrolment in the other targeted program areas was 799 as of Feb. 3, 2014 − four less than the totals tallied on Feb. 5, 2013.

Strategy: Engage in applied research Objective: 5% increase in funding received for research. Result: Not achieved. During the 2012-2013 year, Lakeland received $2.6 million in research funding thanks to investments from numerous partners, including Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, Western Economic Diversification Canada, Alberta

Not achieved.

Strategy: Respond to market with new programs Objective: P erform comprehensive program reviews on a rotational basis and/or if annual review performance indicators suggest an issue. Result: Achieved. Gas process operator and petroleum management programs were comprehensively reviewed. As a result, gas process operator will be offered in a blended delivery format in 2014-2015. Lakeland will collaborate with Grande Prairie Regional College to deliver the program via video conference. The petroleum management program is the only program of its kind in Canada; development of an online option will begin next year so more people can access the curriculum. The School of Agricultural Sciences completed a self-imposed comprehensive review of the animal health technology program. The program team reviewed all courses, realigned content and updated learner outcomes. The program’s credit load was reduced from 72 to 60 which is consistent with other animal health technology programs in the province. The comprehensive program review process is being revised, so additional program reviews were postponed. A new strategy for reviews will be presented to deans in the fall of 2014. Street rod technologies launched in the fall of 2013. All five students in the program graduated. New apprenticeship offerings at Lakeland included the first period of the online parts technician program, second period of the gasfitter program and third period of the instrument technician program. Objective: Implement two changes in response to program reviews. Result: Achieved. The annual review of the crop technology program identified concerns about course and content repetitiveness and curriculum relevance. Several changes were made to address issues, including curriculum changes to soil science, applications in precision farming, agricultural communications and integrated crop management courses. As a result of the annual review of the early learning and child care diploma program, the Play Program, a five-week hands-on practicum for diploma students, will be reinstated in the fall of 2014. Feedback from the health care aide program advisory committee resulted in a home care component being added to the program in 2013-2014.

LAKELAND COLLEGE // ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014

Strategy: Globalize Objective: 10% increase in number of international students on campus. Result: Achieved. There were 95 international students enrolled in Lakeland programs during the 2013-2014 academic year, an increase of 73% from the previous year’s total of 55.

OUTCOME 3 – CONNECT WITH STAKEHOLDERS Strategy: Involve the community Objective: Increase in market share of regional high school graduates. Result: Not achieved. According to data from the Government of Alberta, an increase was not realized. 2012

Financial Statement Discussion and

Analysis

The Financial Statement Discussion and Analysis (FSD&A) provides supplemental financial information and should be read in conjunction with Lakeland’s annual audited financial statements and accompanying notes. The FSD&A and audited financial statements are reviewed and approved by the Board of Governors on the recommendation of the Audit and Risk Committee. Lakeland’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Public Sector Accounting Standards and are expressed in Canadian dollars. The FSD&A is an overview of the financial results Lakeland College achieved in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014 and offers a detailed discussion and analysis of Lakeland’s:

1. Operational highlights

2. Capital planning

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS While 2013-2014 proved to be challenging for Lakeland in a number of ways, the college continued to demonstrate its fiscal strength and ended the fiscal year with a $3 million excess of revenue over expense, compared to a $2.1 million excess in 2012-2013. Lakeland’s net assets position increased by $5.1 million, mainly due to the $3 million excess of revenue over expense and an increase of $1.3 million in accumulated remeasurement gains.

Statement of financial position

3. Areas of significant financial risk The $9.1 million increase in assets is primarily composed of increases in cash and cash equivalents, and investments in tangible capital assets. These increases are attributable to a draw-down of portfolio investments and the construction of the new Energy Centre respectively. Overall, there was little net change in accounts receivable and inventories and prepaid expenses. The most significant change to liabilities is an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. This $5.1 million increase is largely attributable to an increase in operating accounts payable.

The changes in Lakeland’s financial position from the previous fiscal year are detailed below. Fiscal 2014 compared to Fiscal 2013 (amounts in thousands)

Grants from the Government of Alberta continue to be the most significant funding source for Lakeland, generating $38.7 million in 2014, or 58% of all funding received. Grants from the Government of Alberta decreased by $900,000 or 2.3% from the previous year. The reduction was attributed mainly to a reduction in Lakeland’s Campus Alberta operating grant.

Student tuition and fees

Sales of services and products - $11.1

Federal and other government grants - $2.1

Tuition and fees collected from students continue to be an important revenue source for Lakeland, generating $12.1 million in 2014, or 18% of all revenue.

Sales of services and products

Donations and other grants - $1.2

Investment income - $1.1

LAKELAND COLLEGE // ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014

Sales of services and products are an aggregate of Lakeland’s ancillary activities, including revenues from the bookstores, student residences, and contracts. These sales, which account for 17% of Lakeland’s revenue, declined 3.6% from the previous year.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS CONTINUED Expense Lakelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expenses totaled $63.3 million in 2014, a decline of $2.4 million from 2013.

The most significant year-to-year variance is in instruction and training expenses. In this category, spending was 12% less than the previous year. This decline is a direct result of spending reductions Lakeland implemented to respond to a 7.3% cut to its Campus Alberta operating grant. Lakeland suspended intakes to several programs, causing the reduction in instruction and training costs.

Scholarships and bursaries Lakeland paid out $700,000 in scholarships and bursaries in 2014, an increase of 67% over the budgeted amount, and an increase of 15% from the previous year. Lakelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students also collected 574 scholarships worth $500,000 from the governments of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Canada which are not included in the financial statements.

CAPITAL PLANNING

Predictable funding

As detailed in note 7 of the financial statements, Lakeland continued to invest in its facilities, spending $11.2 million on buildings, and a further $2 million on equipment. Much of this spending was connected to construction of the Energy Centre at the Lloydminster campus.

While Lakeland is committed to fiscal prudence and sustainable operations, the recent volatility in government funding presents a significant risk. With indications that operating grants will remain static and direction that tuition and fees must remain frozen, it will be difficult for Lakeland to maintain a balanced budget.

AREAS OF SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL RISK

The budget process for the 2015-2016 fiscal year has begun and Lakeland is demonstrating fiscal prudence by identifying sustainable solutions, creating new revenue streams and sourcing operating efficiencies. Lakeland is committed to sustaining its operating position to create exceptional learning experiences for students, and will continue to work with government to develop and implement long-term strategies that address the financial challenges facing the post-secondary system.

Deferred maintenance While Lakeland has several exciting building projects underway, annual infrastructure maintenance grants are insufficient to adequately maintain the existing facilities. The average age of campus buildings is 35 years, and with age maintenance requirements increase. Note 14 identifies Lakelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitments to capital spending within the next year, but without more regular preventative maintenance, many of the facilities will simply require replacement.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Board of Governors of Lakeland College

Report on the Financial Statements I have audited the accompanying financial statements of Lakeland College, which comprise the statement of financial position as at June 30, 2014, and the statements of operations, remeasurement gains and losses, and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion. Opinion In my opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lakeland College as at June 30, 2014, and the results of its operations, its remeasurement gains and losses, and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards.

Notes to the Financial

Statements 1 AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE The Board of Governors of Lakeland College is a corporation which manages and operates Lakeland College (“the College”) under the Postsecondary Learning Act (Alberta). All members of the Board of Governors are appointed by either the Lieutenant Governor in Council or the Minister of Innovation and Advanced Education, with the exception of the President, who is an ex officio member. Under the Post-secondary Learning Act, Campus Alberta Sector Regulation, the College is a comprehensive community institution offering diploma and certificate programs as well as a full range of continuing education programs and activities. The College is a registered charity, and under section 149 of the Income Tax Act (Canada), is exempt from the payment of income tax.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND REPORTING PRACTICES {a} General – Public Sector Accounting Standards and Use of Estimates These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards. The measurement of certain assets and liabilities is contingent upon future events; therefore, the preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates, which may vary from actual results. College management uses judgment to determine such estimates. Amortization of tangible capital assets and the revenue recognition for expended capital are the most significant items based on estimates. In management’s opinion, the resulting estimates are within reasonable limits of materiality and are in accordance with the significant accounting policies summarized below. These significant accounting policies are presented to assist the reader in evaluating these financial statements and, together with the following notes, should be considered an integral part of the financial statements.

{b} Non-use of Net Debt Model Format Canadian public sector accounting standards require a net debt presentation for the statement of financial position in the summary financial statements of governments. Net debt presentation reports the difference between financial assets and liabilities as net debt or net financial assets as an indicator of future revenues required to pay for past transactions and events. The College operates within the government reporting entity, and does not finance all its expenditures by independently raising revenues. Accordingly, these financial statements do not report a net debt indicator.

{c} Valuation of Financial Assets and Liabilities The College’s financial assets and liabilities are generally measured as follows: Financial Statement Component

Measurement

Cash and cash equivalents

Amortized Cost

Portfolio investments

Fair Value

Fixed income investments

Amortized Cost

Accounts receivable

Amortized Cost

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities

Amortized Cost

Debt

Amortized Cost

Unrealized gains and losses from changes in the fair value of financial instruments are recognized in the statement of remeasurement gains and losses. Upon settlement, the cumulative gain or loss is reclassified from the statement of remeasurement gains and losses and recognized in the statement of operations. Unrealized gains and losses from changes in the fair value of restricted financial instruments are recognized as a liability under deferred revenue or endowments. All financial assets are tested annually for impairment. When financial assets are impaired, impairment losses are recorded in the statement of operations. A write-down of a portfolio investment to reflect a loss in value is not reversed for a subsequent increase in value. For financial instruments measured using amortized cost, the effective interest rate method is used to determine interest revenue or LAKELAND COLLEGE // ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [CONTINUED] expense. Transaction costs are a component of cost for financial instruments measured using cost or amortized cost. Transaction costs are expensed for financial instruments measured at fair value. Investment management fees are expensed as incurred. The purchase and sale of cash and cash equivalents and portfolio investments are accounted for using trade-date accounting. The College does not use foreign currency contracts or any other type of derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Management evaluates contractual obligations for the existence of embedded derivatives, and has determined that no embedded derivatives are present for the year ending June 30, 2014. When derivatives are identified, management elects to either designate the entire contract for fair value measurement or separately measure the value of the derivative component when characteristics of the derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the contract itself. Contracts to buy or sell non-financial items for the College’s normal purchase, sale or usage requirements are not recognized as financial assets or financial liabilities.

{d} Revenue Recognition All revenues are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Cash received for which goods or services have not been provided by year end is recorded as deferred revenue.

i) Government Grants, Non-government Grants and Donations The College recognizes government grants, donations and other contributions as follows:

Government Transfers Government transfers are referred to as government grants. Government transfers and the associated externally restricted investment income are recorded as deferred revenue if the terms for use of the transfer, or the terms along with the College’s actions and communications as to the use of the transfer, create a liability. These transfers are recognized as revenue as the terms are met and, when applicable, the College complies with its communicated use of the transfer. Government transfers without terms for the use of the transfer are recorded as revenue when the College is eligible to receive the funds.

Donations and Non-government Contributions Donations and non-government contributions are received from individuals, corporations, and private sector not-for-profit organizations. Donations and non-government contributions may be unrestricted or restricted for operating or capital purposes or research purposes. Unrestricted donations and non-government contributions are recorded as revenue in the year received or in the year the funds are committed to the College if the amount can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Restricted donations, non-government contributions, realized and unrealized gains and losses for the associated externally restricted investment income are recorded as deferred revenue if the terms for their use, or the terms along with the College’s actions and communications as to the use, create a liability. These resources are recognized as revenue as the terms are met and, when applicable, the College complies with its communicated use. In-kind donations of services and materials are recorded at fair value when such value can reasonably be determined. While volunteers contribute a significant amount of time each year to assist the College, the value of their services are not recognized as revenue and expenses in the financial statements because fair value cannot be reasonably determined.

ii) Grants and Donations Related to Land The College recognizes transfers and donations to buy land as a liability when received and as revenue when the College buys the land. The College recognizes in-kind contributions of land as revenue at the fair value of the land when a fair value can be reasonably determined. When the College cannot determine the fair value, it records such in-kind contributions at nominal value.

iii) Endowments Donations that must be maintained in perpetuity are recognized as a direct increase in endowment net assets when received. Investment income that also must be maintained in perpetuity is recognized as endowment net assets when received or receivable.

iv) Investment Income Investment income includes dividend and interest income, and realized gains or losses on the sale of portfolio investments. Unrealized gains and losses on portfolio investments that are from unrestricted grants and donations are recognized in the statement of accumulated remeasurement gains and losses until the related investments are sold. Once realized, these gains or losses are recognized in the statement of operations. Investment income from restricted grants and donations is recognized as deferred revenue when the terms for use create a liability, and is recognized as investment income when the terms of the grant or donation are met.

{e} Inventories Inventories held for resale are valued at the lower of cost and expected net realizable value and are determined using the FIFO method. Inventories held for consumption are valued at cost. 26

LAKELAND COLLEGE // ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [CONTINUED] NOTE 2 CONTINUED {f} Tangible Capital Assets Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost, which includes amounts that are directly related to the acquisition, design, construction, development, improvement or betterment of the assets. Cost includes overhead directly attributable to construction and development, and interest costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of the asset. Work in progress, which includes facilities and improvement projects and development of information systems, is not amortized until after the project is complete and the asset is in service. Capital lease obligations are recorded at the present value of the minimum lease payments excluding executor costs (e.g. insurance, maintenance costs, etc.). The discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is the lower of the College’s rate for incremental borrowing or the interest rate implicit in the lease. The cost, less residual value, of the tangible capital assets, excluding land, is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as follows: Building & site improvements

3-40 years

Furniture and equipment

5-10 years

Computer hardware and software

5 years

Learning resources

10 years

Tangible capital assets are written down when conditions indicate that they no longer contribute to the College’s ability to provide goods and services, or when the value of future economic benefits associated with the tangible capital assets are less than their net book value. The net write-downs are accounted for as expenses in the statement of operations. Contributed capital assets are recorded as revenues at their fair market value on the date of donation, except in circumstances where fair value cannot be reasonably determined, which are then recognized at nominal value. Transfers of capital assets from related parties are recorded at the carrying value. Intangible assets, works of art, historical treasures and collections are expensed when acquired and not recognized as tangible capital assets.

{g} Foreign Currency Translation Financial assets and liabilities recorded in foreign currencies are translated to Canadian dollars at the year-end exchange rate. Revenues and expenses are translated at the actual exchange rates on the date of each transaction. In the period of settlement realized gains or losses from these translations are included in investment income. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in the statement of remeasurement gains and losses.

{h} Employee Future Benefits Pension The College participates with other employers in the Local Authorities Pension Plan (LAPP). This pension plan is a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan that provides pensions for the College’s participating employees based on years of service and earnings. The College does not have sufficient plan information on the LAPP to follow the standards for defined benefit accounting, and therefore follows the standards for defined contribution accounting. Accordingly, pension expense recorded for the LAPP is comprised of employer contributions to the plan that are required for its employees during the year; which are calculated based on actuarially pre-determined amounts that are expected to provide the plan’s future benefits.

Other Employee Future Benefits The College provides other employment benefits to eligible employees; namely, self-insured short-term disability and other post-employment benefits. These benefits are recorded as a liability and expense when the event obligating the College occurs, and value is determined by actual costs incurred.

{i} Funds & Reserves Certain amounts, as approved by the Board of Governors, are set aside in accumulated surplus for future operating and capital purposes. Transfers to / from funds and reserves are an adjustment to the respective fund when approved.

{j} Future Accounting Changes Liability for Contaminated Sites In June 2010 the Public Sector Accounting Board issued this accounting standard effective for fiscal years starting on or after April 1, 2014. Contaminated sites are a result of contamination being introduced into air, soil, water, or sediment of a chemical, organic, or radioactive material, or live organism that exceeds an environmental standard. Lakeland College would recognize a liability related to the remediation of such contaminated sites subject to certain recognition criteria. Management does not expect the implementation of this standard to have a significant impact on the financial statements in the next fiscal period. LAKELAND COLLEGE // ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [CONTINUED] NOTE 4 CONTINUED The fair value measurements are those derived from: Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – M arket-based inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; Level 3 – I nputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data; assumptions are based on the best internal and external information available and are most suitable and appropriate based on the type of financial instrument being valued in order to establish what the transaction price would have been on the measurement date in an arm’s length transaction. The average effective yields and the terms to maturity are as follows: • Money market funds: 1.29% (2013 - 1.30%); average term to maturity not more than 90 days (2013 - not more than 90 days) • Canadian bonds: 2.46% (2013 - 2.73%); average term to maturity of 7.87 years (2013 - 6.93 years) • International bonds: 2.25% (2013 - 2.32%); average term to maturity of 4.26 years (2013 - 5.73 years) The College has policies and procedures in place governing asset mix, diversification, exposure limits, credit quality and performance measurement. The College’s Sustainability Committee, a subcommittee of the Board of Governors, has delegated authority for oversight of the College’s investments. The Sustainability Committee meets regularly to monitor investments, to review investment manager performance, to ensure compliance with the College’s investment policy and to evaluate the continued appropriateness of the College’s investment policy.

5 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The College is exposed to a variety of financial risks, including market risks (price risk, currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. To manage these risks, the College invests in a diversified portfolio of investments that is guided by established investment policies that outline risk and return objectives. The long term objective of the College’s investment policies is to achieve a long term real rate of return in excess of fees and expenses and maintain the real value of the fund. The College is exposed to the following risks:

Market Risk The College is exposed to market risk - the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual security, its issuer or general market factors affecting all securities. To manage this risk, the College has established an investment policy with a target asset mix that is diversified by asset class with individual issuer limits and is designed to achieve a long-term rate of return that in real terms equals or exceeds total endowment expenditures with an acceptable level of risk. The following details the College’s portfolio sensitivity to a 2.5% increase or decrease in the market prices. The sensitivity rate is determined using the historical standard deviation for the total fund as determined by the investment advisor. At June 30, 2014, if market prices had a 2.5% (2013 - 2.5%) increase or decrease with all other variables held constant, the increase or decrease in remeasurement gains and losses and endowment net assets - externally restricted contributions for the year would have been a total of $6,563 (2013 - $4,716). LAKELAND COLLEGE // ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [CONTINUED] NOTE 5 CONTINUED Foreign Currency Risk The College does not use foreign currency forward contracts or any other type of derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.The College’s exposure to foreign exchange risk is very low due to minimal business activities conducted in a foreign currency.

Credit Risk The College is exposed to credit risk on investments arising from the potential failure of a counterparty, debtor or issuer to honour its contractual obligations. To manage this risk the College has established an investment policy with required minimum credit quality standards and issuer limits. The credit risk from accounts receivable is low as the majority of balances are due from government agencies and corporate sponsors. The credit risks on investments held are as follows: Credit rating

Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk to the College’s earnings that arise from the fluctuations in interest rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. This risk is managed by investment policies that limit the term to maturity of certain fixed income securities that the College holds. Interest risk on the College’s long-term liabilities is managed through fixed-risk agreements with Alberta Capital Finance Authority (note 9). The maturity of interest bearing investments are as follows: Less than 1 year Cash and cash equivalents Canadian government and corporate bonds

The LAPP is a multi-employer contributory defined benefit pension plan for support staff members and is accounted for on a defined contribution basis. At December 31, 2013, the LAPP reported an actuarial deficiency of $4,861,516,000 (2012 - $4,977,303,000 deficiency). An actuarial valuation of the LAPP was carried out as at December 31, 2012 and was then extrapolated to December 31, 2013. The pension expense recorded in these financial statements is $2,594,740 (2013 - $2,745,733). Other than the requirement to make additional contributions, the College does not bear any risk related to the LAPP deficiency.

B. Defined Contribution The College provides other employment benefits to eligible employees which vest but do not accumulate; namely self-insured short-term disability and other post-employment benefits. Post-employment benefits consist of contractually-obligated termination benefits for senior management. These benefits are recorded as a liability when the event obligating the College occurs. The Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total defined contribution expense for self-insured short-term disability and post-employment benefits was $72,750 (2013 - $260,000).

LAKELAND COLLEGE // ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [CONTINUED]

11 ENDOWMENTS Endowments consist of externally restricted donations received by the College and internal allocations by the College’s Board of Governors, the principal of which is required to be maintained intact in perpetuity. Investment income earned on endowments must be used in accordance with the various purposes established by the donors or the Board of Governors. Benefactors as well as College policy stipulate that the economic value of the endowments must be protected by limiting the amount of income that may be expended and reinvesting unexpended income. Under the Post-secondary Learning Act, the College has the authority to alter the terms and conditions of endowments to enable: • income earned by the endowment to be withheld from distribution to avoid fluctuations in the amounts distributed and generally to regulate the distribution of income earned by the endowment. • encroachment on the capital of the endowment to avoid fluctuations in the amounts distributed and generally to regulate the distribution of income earned by the endowment if, in the opinion of the Board of Governors, the encroachment benefits the College and does not impair the long-term value of the fund. In any year, if the investment income earned on endowments is insufficient to fund the spending allocation, the spending allocation is funded from the cumulative capitalized investment income. However, for individual endowment funds without sufficient cumulative capitalized income, endowment principal is used in that year. This amount is expected to be recovered by future investment income. The composition of endowments is as follows: 2014 Balance, beginning of year

LAKELAND COLLEGE // ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [CONTINUED]

13 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (a) The College is a defendant in a number of legal proceedings. While the ultimate outcome and liability of these proceedings cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, the College believes that any settlement will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or the results of operations of the College. Administration has concluded that none of the claims meet the criteria for being recorded under PSAS. (b) The College has identified potential asset retirement obligations related to the existence of asbestos in a number of its facilities. Although not a current health hazard, upon renovation or demolition of these facilities, the College may be required to take appropriate remediation procedures to remove the asbestos. As the College has no legal obligation to remove the asbestos in these facilities as long as the asbestos is contained and does not pose a public health risk, the fair value of the obligation cannot be reasonably estimated due to the indeterminate timing and scope of the removal. The asset retirement obligations for these assets will be recorded in the period in which there is certainty that the capital project will proceed and there is sufficient information to estimate fair value of the obligation.

14 CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS The College has contractual obligations which are commitments that will become liabilities in the future when the terms of the contracts or agreements are met. 2014 Service contracts
