2022 Distinguished Alumni Inductee Roy Kubica Farming, community and education are three of Roy Kubica’s passions. While farming with his brother Rick near Thorhild, Alta., Roy Kubica was an active volunteer in the community. The Thorhild Community Association, Thorhild Co-op and Thorhild County Library Board are among the organizations he has served as a volunteer. When he retired from a successful farming career Roy Kubica turned his attention to his alma mater. A champion of work-integrated learning, Roy Kubica is a longstanding donor to Lakeland College who invests in new opportunities for students to excel in agricultural sciences. In 2019, Roy Kubica’s gifted $500,000 to Lakeland to help purchase land to expand the StudentManaged Farm – Powered by New Holland to increase student-led agricultural sciences learning opportunities and research activities. In 2021, he supported the crop technology students by funding their proposal for a new grain cart that would improve farm operations. Over the years, Roy Kubica’s connection with Lakeland has only grown stronger. He stays in touch with fellow alumni by attending Alumni Weekend celebrations in June, as well as other alumni socials. To help students fund their education, he created the Roy J. Kubica Agriculture Scholarship in 2013 and the Roy J. Kubica Agriculture Bursary in 2020. “Lakeland’s agricultural sciences programming is essential for future generations of farmers and other agricultural professionals. I have the opportunity to help a lot of students and I am proud to do so.” It’s with great honour that Lakeland College inducts Roy Kubica, Class of 1966, to the Alumni Wall of Distinction.
2022 Distinguished Citizen Inductee Armin Mueller A dream of new opportunity in Canada, combined with hard work and strong partnerships, enabled Armin Mueller to succeed in the commercial bison industry. Originally from Switzerland, Armin Mueller and his wife Rita married in 1980 and established Pilatus Farms, a dairy operation, near Bentley, Alta. Ready for a new challenge, they sold the dairy operation in 2000 and invested in a bison herd as well as Canadian Rangeland Bison & Elk, a marketing company. Despite drought, BSE and economic challenges, Armin Mueller’s belief in the bison industry never wavered. Today Canadian Rangeland Bison supplies prime bison meat throughout North America and Europe. Well-known and respected in the bison industry, Armin Mueller received the Myrt Lenton Memorial Award from the Canadian Bison Association in 2019. It is awarded to those who have unselfishly given of their time and worked tirelessly to support and promote the Canadian Bison Association. Armin Mueller is helping future generations to not only succeed in the bison industry, but to advance it too. In 2020, the Muellers donated $4 million to Lakeland College to purchase land and establish a bison herd. “This is an investment in the future of bison. I think this will strengthen the Canadian bison brand and see more students aspire to raise bison themselves.” It is with great respect that Lakeland College recognizes Armin Mueller of Bentley, Alta., as a Distinguished Citizen and awards him an Honorary Bachelor of Applied Business Degree.
Award Presentations President’s Medal The most prestigious award given by Lakeland College, the President’s Medal, is awarded to a graduating student at each campus who has demonstrated excellence in academics and leadership in student activities. Each President's Medal is numbered and embossed with the crest of Lakeland College. This year, medals #65 & #66 are being awarded. Nominations came from all facets of the college including faculty, support staff and students, and are reviewed by the Awards Committee with a recommendation made to the President. This year’s recipient for the Lloydminster campus is Maxine Lebo, graduate of the Business Administration: Small Business & Entrepreneurship diploma program. Amelia Magee, graduate of the Environmental Sciences: Wildlife & Fisheries Conservation diploma program, is the recipient for this award on the Vermilion campus.
Governor General’s Academic Medal The Governor General's Academic Medal was established in 1873 and is awarded to the student who graduates with the highest academic standing in a diploma-level post-secondary program at each campus. This medal is numbered and engraved with the Crest of the Royal Arms of Canada and the image of the Governor General of Canada. The recipient will be registered with the Chancellery of Canadian Orders and Decoration at Rideau Hall, Ottawa. This year’s recipient for the Vermilion campus is Jana Teefy, graduate of the Environmental Sciences: Wildlife & Fisheries Conservation diploma program, This year’s recipient for the Lloydminster campus will be recognized at a later date. .
