Lakeland College
Annual Report 2014-2015
Message from the President On behalf of my colleagues and the Board of Governors, I am pleased to present Lakeland’s 2014-2015 annual report. It records our work towards achieving the goals set forth in the Lakeland College Comprehensive Institutional Plan 2014-2017. The annual report highlights the accomplishments of our students, faculty and staff. It also includes the college’s work to expand access, improve learner outcomes, increase program and service efficiency, and advance our research priorities. Our work is always Ever to Excel and throughout the 2014-2015 academic year the college, our students and faculty accomplished much. Enrolment increased slightly from the previous year and our students excelled in their studies. Three interior design technology students placed in the 2014-2015 National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) student kitchen design and charette competitions. This brings Lakeland’s winning streak in interior design competitions to 12 years. Agribusiness students organized the sold-out success that was the 2014 Band in the Sand, with 1,800 tickets sold. All proceeds raised supported agriculture clubs. Steamfitter-pipefitter apprentice Hunter Weatherly won gold in the 2015 Alberta Skills Canada Competition and also placed fifth at nationals. From winning buckles to rowing for gold, celebrating double futsal silver medals and making history as All-Canadians, Rustlers Athletics also achieved many milestones in 2014-2015. A record sum of $1.2 million in awards, scholarships and bursaries from external and internal sources was awarded to our students during the year. We joined forces with the Métis Education Foundation to create a special purpose fund – the Métis Scholar Awards Fund – for Métis students attending the college. The third annual President’s Gala united more than 400 industry leaders, community members and friends of the college in support of students. A mobile app to bring campus and academic life together in one place was launched with overwhelming success. Our Student Managed Farm – Powered by New Holland celebrated its 25th anniversary at our Vermilion campus, and in applied research we ranked 20th on the list of Canada’s Top 50 Research Colleges that was released in October 2014. Though it was quite a momentous year for the college, we also faced a number of challenges that we are proactively working to address and overcome. Infrastructure maintenance and renewal remains the largest obstacle for the college. While we completed construction of the Energy Centre – a 2,500 sq. metre integrated power plant featuring a oncethrough steam generator (OTSG) for heavy oil training – other facilities are in need of upgrades or replacement. With the completion of the Energy Centre at the Lloydminster campus, our focus is shifting to the Vermilion campus where aging infrastructure needs to be replaced with modern facilities with high-tech equipment to ensure our students get the most relevant training possible. As a member of the Lakeland team for more than 30 years, I was honoured to be appointed president and chief executive officer of the college on May 4, 2015, a position I had filled on an interim-basis since fall 2014. I am confident the college will continue to overcome the challenges it encounters while inspiring learner success and community development.

International nod for SMF Lakeland’s commitment to involving industry in the Student Managed Farm (SMF) – Powered by New Holland earned the college an international award. Lakeland received a silver Award of Excellence in the collegeindustry partnership category from the World Federation of Colleges and Polytechnics. The college was among 11 post-secondary institutions recognized for initiatives that strengthen applied learning and research outcomes. Thanks to a partnership with New Holland’s North American office, students have access to the latest line of New Holland farm machinery to use on the SMF. On a global scale, Lakeland has collaborated with partners on international projects in Tanzania and Belize. 2015 marks the 25th anniversary of the SMF.
Online interest explodes Online registration for human services programs increased substantially in the 2015 winter term. The number of registrations for five areas of human services – including child and youth care, educational assistant and mental health practitioner, as well as both the early learning and child care certificate and diploma programs – totalled 311. During the 2014 winter term course registrations totalled 122 and in the 2014 fall term registrations totalled 244.
Dual credit programming grows year-to-year The number of Alberta high school students enrolled in Lakeland’s dual credit courses rose. The 2015 winter intake of dual credit students totalled 189 marking a significant increase compared to the 2014 winter term, which had 95 high school students registered.

Research reaches new heights Lakeland received $67,085 in federal funding to purchase a research tool that has applications in agriculture, energy, environmental sciences and fire and emergency services. 10 Lakeland College
Annual Report 2014-2015
The new funding came from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada’s (NSERC) College and Community Innovation (CCI) program. The Applied Research Tools and Instruments Grant allowed the college to purchase an unmanned aerial vehicle system (UAS) equipped with image acquisition and processing technologies. A UAS is the combination of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) plus camera payload and image processing software. Lakeland’s applied research team is evaluating the practical use of the UAS within local framing practices. This research tool adds an important dimension of data to the college’s multi-year economic evaluation of crop management intensities project with industry partners, along with many other agriculture research projects. A public presentation and demonstration was held on June 3 at the Centre for Sustainable Innovation at the Vermilion campus.
Advanced officer training In April 2015, Lakeland announced new training opportunities for fire officers. Thanks to collaboration between Lakeland and the Ontario Fire College, levels three and four of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1021 Fire Officer will be offered in Vermilion at the Emergency Training Centre in August and November 2015. The college has successfully offered levels one and two for many years.
Energy Centre complete Construction of the Energy Centre attracted the attention of students, industry, and community members because of the diversity of the technologies within the lab and the modern design of the facility including the slanted glass exterior wall. Inspired by the prairie sunset, the glass is glazed yellow, orange and red. When the sun shines through the glass, the colours of the sun float across the floor and over the state-of-the-art equipment including a once-through steam generator for heavy oil training. Construction of the facility was substantially completed during the 2014-2015 year and the Energy Centre will officially open in August 2015.
New program: international development International development, a new one-year post-credential certificate program, began in fall 2014 at the college’s Vermilion campus. The program was created to provide students with an opportunity to develop international experience in the area of study in which they earned their credential.
CONNECTIVITY New president, familiar face Lakeland Board of Governors announced on May 4, 2015, the appointment of Alice Wainwright-Stewart as president and chief executive officer of Lakeland.

Howell, a member of the board since 2012, succeeded Milt Wakefield as the new chair. Howell has worked in the energy sector for over 30 years in senior management.
Three decades of service In honour of Geretta Partington’s dedication to student engagement and learner success, she was awarded the 2015 Dean Stetson Service Award at the annual Alberta Services for Student Conference in May. Partington is Lakeland’s financial aid and awards officer. She has worked at the college for 35 years. The Dean Stetson Service Award is open to staff at every college, technical institute and university in Alberta. It is presented to an individual in recognition of long-term service to students (10 years or greater) and an outstanding contribution to the development of excellence in student services within the province.
Mobile app launched Designed for current students, Lakeland launched a free mobile app in August 2014. The app enables students to bring campus and academic life together in one place, and students responded overwhelmingly to its debut. Three hundred students downloaded the app on the day it was announced and that number grew increasingly over the academic year.
Connected and social Lakeland is one of the more social colleges according to a study completed by MediaMiser. The college ranked among the top 10 Canadian colleges of 2014 for Twitter use and took third place in the “influencers by total retweets” category. The results were shared online in a top 10 social media infographic on the MediaMiser website.
Record year for student awards program For the first time in Lakeland’s history, more than $1.2 million in awards, scholarships and bursaries from external and internal sources was awarded to Lakeland students.
Thanks to 21 new donors plus ongoing support from returning award donors, at the end of June 2015 a sum of 1,338 awards, scholarships and bursaries valued at a total of $1,214,784 was awarded to Lakeland students.
Métis Scholar Awards established Lakeland and the Métis Education Foundation joined forces to create a special purpose fund – the Métis Scholar Awards Fund – for Métis students attending the college. On June 17, representatives from Lakeland, Métis Education Foundation, Métis Nation of Alberta and the Rupertsland Institute signed an agreement to officially signify the establishment of the Métis Scholar Awards. The Métis Education Foundation is contributing $103,000 to the fund with an additional $27,000 provided by Lakeland.

Over a 15-year period the fund will allow for the distribution of two to four awards each year.
2015 President’s Gala More than 400 guests attended the President’s Gala on March 27. The sold-out event featured a performance by Canadian power-couple Raine Maida, of Our Lady Peace, and singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk. Together, they performed for the first time in Lloydminster. Dr. Richard Starke, MLA for the Vermilion-Lloydminster constituency, told guests that Lakeland is an outstanding post-secondary institution that is critical not only to the local constituency and Alberta, but also Canada and beyond. He cited the Student Managed Farm – Powered by New Holland, the Emergency Training Centre and the Centre for Sustainable Innovation among Lakeland’s many strengths. Gala proceeds support Lakeland’s student awards program.
Distinguished citizens Glenn Charlesworth and Bill Musgrave were each presented with an Honorary Bachelor of Applied Business Degree, as the 2015 Distinguished Citizens for the Vermilion and Lloydminster campuses, respectively. Charlesworth started his career at Lakeland in 1982 as a business instructor. In 2003 he became the vice president, finance and operations, and then, in 2006, he became Lakeland’s president and chief executive officer. During his time as president, many capital projects were completed, significant enrolment growth occurred, and the college’s financial targets were continuously met if not exceeded.

The Enviro Club created a campaign to heighten awareness about recycling in January 2015 and to promote the functional recycling program that was implemented at the Vermilion campus. There are four bins for refundables, white paper, other paper and landfill. Throughout the winter 2015 semester (January to April), about 50 second-year students in a number of agricultural disciplines including animal science technology and crop technology worked together to complete an Environmental Farm Plan (EFP), making Lakeland the first post-secondary institution in Alberta to complete an EFP in 20142015. “We are proud to be demonstrating environmental stewardship on our college farm and to have our students working through the EFP,” said Josie Van Lent, dean of the School of Agricultural Sciences.
Operational Overview As the third oldest post-secondary institution in Alberta, Lakeland has been leading in learning for more than a century. While the 2014-2015 academic year included great opportunities for learner success, Lakeland addressed challenges as well.
Demographics According to the Alberta Coalition for Action on Labour Shortages, Alberta will face a labour shortage of about 114,000 workers over the coming decade, of which more than 62,000 will require a post-secondary education. With full load equivalents (FLEs) reaching 1,920 in 2014-2015, Lakeland is committed to building a lifelong learning system that provides equal access to education and supports a diversified economy. Of those who attended Lakeland in 2014-2015, 186 students self-identified as Aboriginal. Lakeland faces the same challenges as many postsecondary institutions regarding an aging workforce. At the 2014 employee recognition ceremony, 440 years of service was recognized. Twenty employees were recognized for more 20 years of service while 10 celebrated their retirement. As more of Lakeland’s workforce will be eligible for retirement over the next 10 years, Lakeland is developing an integrated approach to the management and development of current and future leaders and staff.
Dual credit growth More high school students have a chance to earn Lakeland credits while exploring different career paths thanks to an increase in dual credit offerings. The number of Alberta high school students enrolled in Lakeland’s dual credit courses rose in 2014-2015. The 2015 winter intake of dual credit students totalled 189 marking a significant increase compared to the 2014 winter term, which had 95 high school students registered. The number of dual credit courses Lakeland offered also increased with the following four new courses: introduction to soil and science, health care aide, power engineering and the French language delivery of play. The other dual credit courses available to students include two human services classes – play and exploring exceptionalities – as well as introduction to esthetics, environmental sustainability and introduction to heavy oil and gas.
Economic conditions and sustainable funding Falling oil prices in 2014-2015 and its effect on provincial revenues reinforced the importance of Lakeland’s commitment to financial sustainability and stability. Deans and directors were tasked with reviewing their budgets to see where they could make a five per cent cut. The college also worked to further manage expenses and increase revenue opportunities. A decrease in grant funding resulted in the Lakeland College Board of Governors approval in April for the suspension of the 2015-2016 intakes for the heavy oil operations technician (HOOT) and international development programs. The intake suspensions were due to the announcement of an unexpected $358,259 reduction in the Targeted Enrolment Grant that Lakeland will receive from Alberta Innovation and Advanced Education in 20152016. Most of this grant was allocated for energy related programming. Lakeland is committed to developing and implementing long-term strategies that will address financial challenges. Secure, long-term funding for post-secondary education is essential for Lakeland to continue to offer exceptional learning experiences and make significant contributions to the local and provincial economies.
The value of Lakeland Through the spending of the college, its employees and its students plus the impact of increased productivity of former students employed in the regional workforce, Lakeland adds $168 million to the local economy in a year, according to the economic impact study released in July 2014 by Economic Modeling Specialists Inc. Of note, taxpayers also receive a positive return for their investment in Lakeland. For every dollar that Alberta taxpayers spent on Lakeland during the year, society in Alberta will receive $6.60 in benefits for as long as the students remain active in the provincial workforce. The study also 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. This equates to a 23.2 per cent internal rate of return on their investment. Lakeland understands that its students are not only its greatest strength, but its most valuable resource.

Progress made in last 12 months:
The School of Trades and Technology streamlined the firstday orientation process so that students are in class at 8:30 a.m. and are working on course material by 9 a.m., rather than spending half their day in orientation as was previously done. For apprentice students, class time is essential as they are required to learn and work through all of their course material in a matter of six to 10 weeks depending on the program.

2 per cent increase in Not achieved enrolment in government identified target groups (International; Aboriginal)
Progress made in last 12 months: The number of students (by headcount) enrolled in government identified target groups from 2013-2014 to 2014-2015 increased by 1.5 per cent (from 259 to 263 students). Overall there was a 20 per cent decrease (from 96 to 77) of international students on campus (on the Lloydminster and Vermilion campuses and through distance learning). The number of international students declined due to the conclusion of Lakeland’s partnership with Lambton College. There was a 12.4 per cent increase (from 163 to 186 students) in enrolment of self-declared Aboriginal students from 2013-2014 to 2014-2015. Specific awards have been added for First Nations, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) groups and with that, Lakeland has seen a correlated increase in the number of enrolled students who self-identify as FNMI.

for technical personnel, but not faculty. Several faculty are involved in applied research projects with their students, however, they do not receive release time and are not counted in this measure. Other faculty involved in applied research includes environmental sciences, fire and emergency services, human services and agricultural sciences. Lakeland has had an increase in faculty engagement with research despite the reduction in faculty releases. It has been found that the release model does not work well in the Lakeland context. Lakeland expects to pilot a new model starting in the new year where “technical personnel” will not only conduct research but will also be responsible for working with faculty members to integrate the research into various courses thus exposing students and faculty to research without putting an undue, uncompensated burden on the faculty. Initially this will be tried with crops research and if successful will expand to other programs as funding becomes available. Objective

There are no volunteer groups interested in taking on this project at the Lloydminster campus. The Environmental Committee will begin developing a long-term plan to measure Lakeland’s recycling efforts and to make recycling a more professional looking and accepted part of campus. Lakeland became the first post-secondary institution in Alberta to complete an Environmental Farm Plan (EFP) in 2014-2015. Throughout the winter 2015 semester (January to April), about 50 second-year students in a number of agricultural disciplines including animal science technology and crop technology worked together to complete the EFP.

Increasing access & quality highlights
diploma program in fall 2014.
Lakeland increased access to the early learning and child care program thanks to its partnership with the Centre collégial de l’Alberta of the University of Alberta. As of September 2014, the program is available in French online.
Lakeland offered its first massive open online course (MOOC) in September 2014. Of the 102 people who registered for introduction to mental health, 36 successfully completed the free course.
Following a successful trial run with the American Sign Language and Deaf culture studies certificate program, Lakeland’s sign language programs were relocated to the Alberta School for the Deaf (ASD) in Edmonton. Fourteen students started the full-time sign language interpretation
The heavy oil and power engineering program increased its intake of students to two cohorts – each with 36 students. Three additional instructors were added to the faculty team and staggered practicums helped to ensure students were prepared for the Alberta Boilers Safety Authority exams.

ENROLMENT PLAN
2015. The international student headcount was 76.
The 2014-2017 Comprehensive Institutional Plan features Lakeland’s enrolment projection plan for 2014-2015. At that time, the college projected 1,865 full-load equivalents (FLEs) for 2014-2015. The actual FLEs totalled 1,920. (See Appendix A – Enrolment for information on the FLEs per program.)
In the 2014-2015 Lakeland welcomed 21 students from Lambton College, this was down from 40 students in 2013-2014.
Analysis of 2014-2015 enrolment by FLEs
An extra cohort of heavy oil and power engineering students, growth in trades and technology and agricultural sciences, plus an increase in students taking courses online are a few of the reasons why FLEs increased.
By Credential
The 2014-2015 student body included students from every province and territory in Canada but for Prince Edward Island. There were also students from 14 other countries.

an unmanned aerial vehicle system, which includes a quadcopter, a multi-spectral camera, a thermal imaging camera, video and still cameras, and associated software. This tool increases the college’s capacity for applied research in agriculture, environmental sciences, emergency services, and possibly the energy sector.
Sustainable environments and buildings Construction of Lakeland’s Bio-Energy Centre was completed and the facility is functional. This building allows the college to research energy usage in a farm shop situation. It provides space for working on a variety of research equipment, mostly agricultural and Bio-Energy related research equipment. In recent years Lakeland has collected considerable data on the performance of various renewable energy systems including electrical generation by photovoltaic cells. Lakeland has started to use this data together with financial models to determine the economic viability of various renewable energy systems or combination of systems.
Fire and emergency medicine Research in this area will evolve as funding becomes available.
Community As outlined earlier in this report, various steps have been taken to enhance learner outcomes and increase the effectiveness of our programs including revising the comprehensive program review.

Government of Alberta grants Government of Alberta grants continued to represent the largest component of the college’s funding, at 58 per cent. These grants were $779,000 higher than budgeted, and $386,000 higher than the prior year. The year-toyear change was attributable to an increase in grants for targeted programs, while the budget-to-actual increase was due to unbudgeted revenue.
Federal and other government grants Federal and other government grants comprised three per cent of all funding received, and increased by $234,000 over the prior year primarily due to the recognition of research funding.
Student tuition and fees
all revenue, and were slightly lower than budgeted. Sales of services and products experienced a $644,000 decline from the prior year – this decrease was primarily due to the performance of fewer contract services.
Investment income, donations and other grants Comprising two per cent of all revenue, investment income was $872,000 higher than expected due to better-thananticipated market returns, and $269,000 higher than the prior year due to higher realized investment gains. Revenue from donations and other grants made up two per cent of all funding, and was generally consistent with the prior year, but was $582,000 better than budgeted amounts. This increase is attributable to an effective fundraising campaign.
Student tuition and fees made up 19 per cent of all revenue for fiscal 2014-2015. These fees were $872,000 higher than budgeted, and $636,000 higher than the prior year due to strong enrolments.
EXPENSE
Sales of services and products
Expenses can be expressed both by function (i.e., by purpose) as well as by object (i.e., by type).
Sales of services and products represented 16 per cent of
Expenses totalled $63.8 million in 2014-2015, which represented a modest increase of $573,000 over the prior year, and a decrease of $1.2 million from the budgeted amount.

Expenses as expressed by function were generally consistent with the prior year. One of the largest year-toyear variances is in instruction and training expenses. In this category, spending was $2.1 million less than the budgeted amount, but $1.7 million more than the prior year. The largest driver for both of these changes relates to faculty salaries paid – total salaries were less than budgeted amounts, but greater than the prior year.
The other significant variance was related to facilities and operations maintenance expenses – these costs were $1.8 million greater than budgeted amounts, but $3.4 million less than prior year. Major maintenance projects completed in 2015 were more than budgeted, but fewer than the prior year.

Salaries and benefits
Utilities and Cost of Goods Sold
Salaries and benefits is the largest expenditure for Lakeland, comprising 61 per cent of all spending. These expenses were two per cent less than budget and nine per cent more than the prior year. Salary and benefit costs for all three groups increased over the prior year due to additional hires and collective agreement settlements, while the decrease from budget was due to positions held vacant throughout the year.
Together, these expense categories made up five per cent of all college spending. There were no significant changes in these expenses during 2014-2015.
Materials, supplies and services This group of expenses is the next largest area of spending for Lakeland, and made up 17 per cent of all spending during 2014-2015. These expenses came in seven per cent under budget and six per cent less than the prior year. These decreases are due to lower discretionary spending on various projects.
Scholarships and bursaries Lakeland paid out $744,000 in scholarships and bursaries in 2014-2015, an increase of 78 per cent over our budgeted amount, and an increase of six per cent from the prior year. Lakeland’s students also received $474,000 in scholarships and bursaries from the governments of Alberta and Saskatchewan which are not included in the financial statements.
Repairs and maintenance These expenses made up five per cent of all college spending, coming in at 17 per cent over budget and 36 per cent under the prior year. The significant change from the prior year was due to a large number of maintenance projects being completed in fiscal 2013-2014.

STATEMENT OF MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015
The financial statements of Lakeland College have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards. The financial statements present fairly the financial position of the college as at June 30, 2015 and the results of its operations for the year then ended. In fulfilling its responsibilities and recognizing the limits inherent in all systems, management has developed and maintains a system of internal control designed to provide reasonable assurance that college assets are safeguarded from loss and that the accounting records are a reliable basis for the preparation of the financial statements. The Board of Governors is responsible for reviewing and approving the financial statements, and overseeing management’s performance of its financial reporting responsibilities. The Board of Governors carries out its responsibility for review of the financial statements principally through its Audit and Risk Committee. All members of the Audit and Risk Committee are not employees of the college. The Audit and Risk Committee meets with management and the external auditors to discuss the results of audit examinations and financial reporting matters. The external auditors have full access to the Audit and Risk Committee, with and without the presence of management. These financial statements have been reported on by the Auditor General of the Province of Alberta, the auditor appointed under the Post-secondary Learning Act. The Independent Auditor’s Report outlines the scope of the audit and provides the audit opinion on the fairness of presentation of the information in the financial statements.

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, 2015, 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, 2015, 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.

Lakeland College
Notes to the Financial Statements
JUNE 30, 2015
1 Authority and Purpose The Board of Governors of Lakeland College is a corporation which manages and operates Lakeland College (“the College”) under the Post-secondary 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 mandated credentials and programs. 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 (PSAS). 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. The College’s 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 Note, should be considered an integral part of the financial statements.
{b} Net Debt Model Presentation
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 Cash and cash equivalents Portfolio investments Fixed income investments Accounts receivable Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Debt
Measurement Amortized Cost Fair Value Amortized Cost Amortized Cost Amortized Cost 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. 36 Lakeland College
Annual Report 2014-2015
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Note 2 (continued) 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 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, 2015. 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.
Government Grants, Non-government Grants and DonationsÂ
The College recognizes government grants, donations and other contributions as follows:
Government Transfers
Government transfers are referred to as government grants.
Restricted grants and donations are recognized as deferred revenue if the terms for the use, or the terms along with the College’s actions and communications as to the use, create a liability. These grants and donations are recognized as revenue as the terms are met. If the grants and donations are used to acquire or construct tangible capital assets revenue will be recognized over the useful life of the tangible capital assets. Government grants without terms for the use of the grant are recorded as revenue when the College is eligible to receive the funds. Unrestricted non-government grants and donations 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. In-kind donations of services, materials and tangible capital assets are recorded at fair value when such value can reasonably be determined. Transfers of tangible capital assets from related parties are recorded at the carrying value. While volunteers as well as College staff contribute a significant amount of time each year to assist the College in carrying out its mission, the value of their services is not recognized in the financial statements because fair value cannot be reasonably determined.
Grants and Donations Related to Land
Grants and donations for the purchase of land are recognized as deferred revenue when received, and recognized as revenue when the land is purchased.
Lakeland College
Annual Report 2014-2015
37
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Note 2 (continued) 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.
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.
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 first-in-first-out method. Inventories held for consumption are valued at cost.
{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. 38 Lakeland College
Annual Report 2014-2015
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Note 2 (continued) 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} Expense by Function
The College uses the following categories of functions on its statement of operations:
Instruction and Training
Expenses relating to support for the academic functions of the College both directly and indirectly. This function includes expenses incurred by schools for their scholarly activities and learning administrative services.
Academic and Student Support
Expenses relating to support for the academic functions of the College both directly and indirectly. This function includes expenses incurred in order to provide services to students and faculty.
Facilities Operation and Maintenance
Expenses relating to maintenance and renewal of facilities that house the teaching, research and administrative activities within the institution. These include utilities, facilities administration, building maintenance, custodial services, landscaping and grounds keeping, as well as major repairs and renovations.
Institutional Support
Expenses relating to support for the academic functions of the College both directly and indirectly. This function includes expenses incurred by the administrative functions of the College.

Ancillary Services
Expenses relating to services and products provided to the College community and to external individuals and organizations. Services include the College bookstore, parking services and student residences.
Sponsored Research
Expenses for all sponsored research activities specifically funded by restricted grants and donations.
{j} 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.
3 Change in Accounting Policy PS 3260 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. The College adopted this accounting standard prospectively as of July 1, 2014. Upon adoption certain amounts were classified as Liability for Contaminated sites as disclosed in note 12.

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 as prices or indirectly derived from prices;
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 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.

6 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 Price 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 longterm rate of return that in real terms equals or exceeds total endowment expenditures with an acceptable level of risk. At June 30, 2015, the impact of a change in the rate of return on the investment portfolio is as follows: · 2.50% change in fixed income securities would have a $10,633 increase or decrease (2014 - 2.50% change would have a $9,388 change) ·2 .50% change in common stocks and equivalents would have a $9,388 increase or decrease (2014 - 2.50% change would have a $27,775 change)

Annual Report 2014-2015
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Note 6 (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 AAA AA AAA+ A ABBB-

19.6% 27.2% 8.8% 5.6% 35.5% 0.0% 3.3% 100.0%
Liquidity Risk The College maintains a portfolio of short-term investments to manage short-term cash requirements. 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 10). The maturity of interest bearing investments are as follows: Less than 1 year

A. Defined benefit plan accounted for on a defined contribution basis Local Authorities Pension Plan (LAPP) 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, 2014, the LAPP reported an actuarial deficiency of $2.45 billion (2013 - $4.86 billion deficiency). An actuarial valuation of the LAPP was carried out as at December 31, 2013 and was then extrapolated to December 31, 2014. The pension expense recorded in these financial statements is $3,026,108.67 (2014 - $2,594,740). 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 selfinsured short term disability and other post-employment benefits. Post-employment benefits consist of contractuallyobligated termination benefits for senior management. These benefits are recorded as a liability when the event obligating the College occurs. The College’s total defined contribution expense for self-insured short-term disability and post-employment benefits was nil (2014 - $72,750).

The College has accepted responsibility to perform remediation work on three sites related to contaminated soils and groundwater. Two sites were contaminated as a result of historical agricultural activity, and remediation is expected to consist of risk management and monitoring over the next three years. The remaining site was contaminated as a result of the disposal of ash and petrochemical products. Remediation for this site is expected to consist of excavation and disposal of contaminated soil over the next year. Liabilities have been calculated using estimates of undiscounted cash flows generated by third parties.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
13 Endowment 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:
• i ncome 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; and
• e ncroachment 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:

15 Contingent Liabilities (a) T he 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. Management has concluded that none of the claims meet the criteria for being recorded under PSAS. (b) T he 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.
16 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.
