Laurentian University Université Laurentienne Message from the President and Vice-Chancellor Laurentian University Université Laurentienne Message from the President and Vice-Chancellor Dear Graduates, Today we celebrate you. You have made it. Congratulations to you all. Though the circumstances are far different than what you may have envisioned for your convocation, I assure you that your hard work and dedication need to be acknowledged and celebrated. Think back to when you started your programs. Remember the anticipation, the uncertainty, the excitement. The last few months have likely been filled with similar, and perhaps even stronger emotions as the entire world grapples with COVID-19. Uncertainty for what is to come. Anticipation for the world to return to normal – or at least, to a “new normal”. But, I hope, for all of you, there is also a level of excitement at the opportunities that will come to you in the near future. Even though we live in a time that is unprecedented, it is important to feel optimistic about the future. You have been preparing for your journey towards the future for some time now, and your resilience to withstand life’s adversities will carry you forward. Over the past several years, you have lived the experience of being a student; you have juggled assignments and priorities; you have encountered new experiences, and developed new relationships; you have successfully navigated the complex world of higher education and academia, courses, syllabi, experiential learning opportunities, requisites and prerequisites, papers and exams. Professors have encouraged you to think broadly, and to apply the solutions you develop to tangible benefit. They have encouraged you to network, and engage with those around you, to develop relationships and to broaden your worldview. Most importantly, your family has seen you grow and your friends have watched you transform into the person that is now readier than ever to take on the next challenge, the next step in your career. There is a reason why Laurentian has held the best post graduation employment rates in the province for more than a decade. Our partnerships with industry, our commitment to workplace experiential learning and our small class sizes ensure our students develop the skills sought after by employers. When asked about your postsecondary studies, you can proudly share that you have been well prepared for the future. Coming out of this pandemic, our world will be a very different place. Our nation, our province, and our community has had to come together in a way that has not been experienced since the Second World War. Together we are traversing a challenge that affects all people, regardless of gender, race, or socioeconomic background. It is my belief that we will all come out of this challenge stronger, together, and with a sense of unity. Together, we have protected those at highest risk, by making sacrifices. We stayed home when we wanted to be with loved ones. We celebrated milestone events, such as birthdays, anniversaries, and even graduations over Zoom and Facetime... and together we have been able to save lives. In your final year of studies, you have had to pivot from your routine. You may have had to press pause on your plans for the immediate future. You, Laurentian graduates of 2020 are faced with entering the next phase of your lives just as the entire world has taken a collective pause - which could be a good thing. This is not a race. We are not competing against each other to make it to some fictitious finish line. In a lifetime filled with milestones and benchmarks we, as a society, have more often given precedent to the fast and furious achievements, having largely turned away from the notion of slow and steady. Here and now, through circumstances beyond our control, you can take a moment to establish and reaffirm your goals, and how you wish to accomplish them. Taking the time to do this is okay, and must be encouraged. When our new normal emerges, my hope is that you will join a workforce with a heightened sense of empathy for one another, because you are now part of a generation that has witnessed what it means to put the needs of others before yourselves. It is now time to think about the next step of your journey. Where will you work? What further studies are you considering? Where will you reside? You have never had as many possibilities at hand. Take advantage of this moment. Be courageous and confident as you progress in your career. And remember, no matter how far your journey takes you, wherever you build your future – you will always have a home and a family here at Laurentian University. On behalf of the entire Laurentian community, I congratulate you and wish you much success! Take care, and stay in touch. Robert Haché, President and Vice-Chancellor Message du Recteur et vice-chancelier Chers diplômés et diplômées, Aujourd’hui, nous vous célébrons. Vous avez réussi. Félicitations. Même si les circonstances sont bien différentes de ce que vous aviez imaginé pour votre collation des grades, je vous assure que votre travail assidu et votre détermination doivent être reconnus et célébrés. Songez au moment où vous avez commencé votre programme. Souvenez-vous de l’attente, de l’incertitude, de l’enthousiasme. Les derniers mois ont probablement été remplis d’émotions semblables, peut-être même plus fortes, alors que le monde entier était aux prises avec la COVID-19. L’incertitude de ce qui arrivera. L’attente que le monde revienne à la normale, ou du moins, à une « nouvelle normalité ». J’espère toutefois que vous avez tous un certain degré d’enthousiasme envers les possibilités que vous aurez dans un proche avenir. Même si nous vivons une période sans précédent, il est important d’être optimiste pour l’avenir. Vous préparez votre voyage vers l’avenir depuis quelque temps maintenant, et votre résilience face aux adversités de la vie vous fera aller de l’avant. Ces dernières années, vous avez fait l’expérience de la vie étudiante : vous avez jonglé avec les travaux et priorités; vous avez fait de nouvelles expériences et établi de nouvelles relations; vous avez réussi à naviguer dans le monde complexe de l’enseignement supérieur, les cours, les plans de cours, les possibilités d’apprentissage par l’expérience, les cours obligatoires et préalables, les travaux et les examens. Vos professeurs vous ont encouragés à penser en grand et à appliquer les solutions que vous concevez à des avantages concrets. Ils vous ont encouragés à réseauter, à parler à votre entourage, à établir des relations et à élargir votre perspective du monde. Le plus important, votre famille a constaté votre épanouissement, et vos amis ont vu votre transformation en une personne qui est maintenant plus prête que jamais à relever le prochain défi, la prochaine étape dans sa carrière. La Laurentienne enregistre depuis plus de dix ans les meilleurs taux d’emploi de la province après l’obtention du grade pour une raison : nos partenariats sectoriels, notre engagement envers l’apprentissage par l’expérience sur le lieu de travail et nos classes de petite taille font que notre population étudiante acquiert les compétences recherchées par les employeurs. Lorsqu’on vous interrogera sur vos études postsecondaires, vous pourrez dire fièrement qu’elles vous ont bien préparés pour l’avenir. À la fin de cette pandémie, notre monde sera différent. Notre nation, notre province et notre communauté se sont regroupées d’une manière que l’on n’avait pas vue depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Ensemble, nous traversons un défi qui touche tout le monde, peu importe le genre, la race ou la situation socioéconomique. Je crois que nous sortirons tous de ce défi plus fort, ensemble, et avec un sentiment d’unité. Ensemble, nous avons protégé les personnes les plus à risque en faisant des sacrifices. Nous sommes restés chez nous alors que nous voulions être avec nos proches. Nous avons célébré des événements marquants, comme des anniversaires et même des collations de grades sur Zoom et FaceTime et ensemble, nous avons pu sauver des vies. Au cours de votre dernière année d’études, vous avez dû délaisser votre routine. Vous avez dû mettre vos plans pour l’avenir immédiat en mode « pause ». Vous, les diplômés de 2020 de la Laurentienne, devez entamer la prochaine phase de votre vie à l’heure où le monde entier s’est mis en « pause », ce qui pourrait être une bonne chose. Ce n’est pas une course. Nous ne sommes pas en compétition pour parvenir à une ligne d’arrivée fictive. Dans une vie remplie de grandes étapes et de repères, nous, en tant que société, donnons souvent la priorité aux succès rapides et impétueux en nous détournant largement de la notion de lenteur et de calme. Ici et maintenant, dans des circonstances qui échappent à notre contrôle, vous pouvez prendre le temps d’établir et de réaffirmer vos buts, et la façon dont vous souhaitez les atteindre. Il est bon et recommandé de prendre le temps de le faire. Lorsque la nouvelle normalité émergera, j’espère que vous ferez partie d’une main-d’œuvre plus empathique, car vous faites maintenant partie d’une génération qui sait ce que cela signifie de faire passer les besoins des autres avant les vôtres. Il est maintenant temps de penser à la prochaine étape de votre voyage. Où travaillerez-vous? Quelles autres études envisagez-vous? Où habiterez-vous? Vous n’avez jamais eu autant de possibilités. Tirez parti de ce moment. Soyez courageux et confiants alors que vous avancez dans votre carrière. Et n’oubliez pas : peu importe où votre voyage vous mène, peu importe où vous construisez votre avenir, vous aurez toujours un foyer et une famille ici à l’Université Laurentienne.

  • Official Language Bilingualism for Allophones in Canada: Exploring Future Research Callie Mady and Miles Turnbull
    Official Language Bilingualism for Allophones in Canada: Exploring Future Research Callie Mady and Miles Turnbull This article offers a review of policy and research as they relate to Allophones and their access to French Second Official Language (FSOL) programs in English- dominant Canada. Possible areas of future research are woven throughout the re- view as questions emerge in the summary of relevant literature. Notre article comprend une recension des documents de politique et des projets de recherche concernant les Allophones inscrits aux programmes de français langue seconde et officielle (FLSO) au Canada. Tout au long de l’article, nous tis- sons une série de questions de recherche possible pour le futur comme elles ont émergé pendant le développement de la recension des écrits. The Canadian Constitution (Canada, Department of Justice, 1982) guaran- tees equal status to English and French as the official languages of Canada providing for federal government services in both languages. As such, many federal job opportunities at minimum are centered on official-language bilingualism. In addition to linguistic considerations, the federal govern- ment recognizes official-language bilingualism as vital to Canadian identity (Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages, 2006). The dual privileg- ing of English and French by way of commodity and identity (Heller, 2002), then, encourages immigrants to Canada to consider such proclamations as they establish themselves and reconstruct their identities (Blackledge & Pavlenko, 2001). As Canada moves forward with its agenda to promote linguistic duality and official-language bilingualism, it must consider the effect of the growing Allophone population. In 2000, former Commissioner of Official Languages Dyane Adam called for a clear research agenda relating to Allophones and language education in Canada; she recognized immigration as a challenge to official-language bilingualism (Office of the Commissioner of Official Lan- guages, 2000).

You confirmed that this project was very important to the government and that the inclusion of a requirement to “identify governance models by and for francophones” in the Board’s terms of reference was not an empty gesture. You asked the Board to be innovative and strategic, and to suggest potential affiliations and partnerships with universities not only in Ontario, but also in Canada and around the world. In other words, you placed your trust in us. Today, June 30, 2017, we deliver this report with much pride after having completed our task under a very tight timeline.

  • Vickie's Vantage
    LAURENTIAN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE FOR ALUMNI & FRIENDS SUMMER 2009 vickie’s VANTAGE Recession impressions from the class of CEOs There’s something about Barrie DRIVING CREATIVITY, INNOVATION, AND PROSPERITY To say that I am appreciative of the contributions and generosity of Laurentian University’s donors is an understatement. The financial assistance I have received throughout my time as a student at Laurentian has been invaluable. It has given me not only financial stability, but has allowed me to focus on my academic studies, which are my greatest passion in life. Acting as the student spokesperson at the Next 50 Campaign internal launch event in January wasn’t just a chance to get a little air time or to hear myself speak aloud (which, if you ask my teachers, is what I like best). Instead, it was a chance for me to thank the many caring people who are directly responsible for the success of numerous students through their generous contributions to scholarships and bursaries. Speaking at the Next 50 Campaign event in January also allowed me to urge the Laurentian community to become involved by continuing to support the internal campaign. It didn’t take long to see results. Success stories and the involvement of faculty and staff were evident everywhere on campus. The faculty in my very own department began contributing to the campaign by creat- ing a travel grant for future students. When the final tally for the 2008/2009 in- ternal component of the Next 50 Campaign was announced at the beginning of April, I was truly impressed, as were many oth- ers.

Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics.
