FORTY-NINTH
CONVOCATION
2013
Thunder Bay Campus
Lakehead University
Convocation 2013
Lakehead University’s forty-ninth convocation for the
conferring of degrees and diplomas is being celebrated
on Friday, May 31, 2013 and Saturday, June 1, 2013
at our Thunder Bay campus and Saturday, June 8,
2013 at our Orillia campus.
The word “convocation” means “calling together.”
It is a ceremonial meeting of the entire University
community. On Convocation Day, University members
and their guests wear special attire based on a tradition
that dates back as long as seven centuries ago. The
academic costume, also referred to as academic
“dress” or “regalia,” had its origins in the medieval
European universities. The regalia were devised to
distinguish academic persons as doctors, licentiates,
masters, and bachelors. In the middle ages they were
worn as everyday attire. Gowns were a necessity
because of unheated buildings, and hoods were
needed to cover the heads of medieval scholars.
There are many variations of academic dress. The
hood, gown, and in some cases the special hat worn
by an individual are determined by the style of the
university where he or she receives a degree. The
colourful gowns and hoods of the universities from
across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom,
and several other nations of the world are worn at
Lakehead University today.
The academic dress chosen by Lakehead University
is fashioned after that of the University of Oxford,
the oldest English-speaking university in the world.
The robes worn by the officers of the University - the
Chancellor, who presides at convocation, the President
(who is also the Vice-Chancellor) and the Chair of the
Board of Governors - are all of the Oxford cut and trim.
Each has its own distinctive colour. The colourful gowns
worn by the individuals who are receiving honorary
degrees are of the same design as are the black
gowns worn by the student candidates. The ritual at
convocation reflects the medieval custom that anyone
in a university could wear a gown, but a hood was
the symbol of a degree. Students who have met the
University’s academic requirements (three, four, five,
six or seven years of study in particular subjects) wear
the symbol of their status as holders of a Lakehead
University degree. Lakehead University’s bachelor’s and
master’s degree hoods are distinguished by a one or
two inch colour border which indicates the degree
acquired, e.g. white for Arts, gold for Science, blue for
Education, burgundy for Nursing, etc. Lakehead’s first
PhD degree was conferred in 1998.
In addition to “earned” degrees, the University confers
“honorary” degrees which symbolize the highest honour
that can be conferred on an individual by the University.
An honorary degree may be awarded in recognition of
scholarly or creative achievements or distinguished public
service to the country or region. They go to individuals
who have been designated by the University’s Senate,
its senior academic governing body, as deserving special
honour. At convocation the degree is awarded honoris
causa, or “for the sake of honour.” A hood is also given
to the recipient and it may be worn to any academic
affair. Recipients of these degrees become honorary
alumni of the University and they may affix, after their
names, the abbreviation of the degree. The Doctor of
Science, Doctor of Laws, and Doctor of Humane Letters,
will be conferred this year.
The Board of Governors of the University also recognizes
individuals who have contributed to the growth,
development, welfare, and well-being of Northwestern
Ontario, Simcoe County and of Lakehead University.
This is done by the conferring of the title Fellow of the
University. You will recognize University Fellows by their
familiar blue gown with white velvet epitoge or scarf.
During the processional and the recessional the Marshal
for convocation carries the Mace, a silver wand which
is a traditional symbol of the University’s authority. This
mace was given to the University by the Alumni
Association in 1971. It bears the University’s motto
Ad augusta per angusta, Achievement through Effort.
As Lakehead University celebrates its forty-ninth convocation with students, parents, friends and community,
it is worthwhile to remember that convocation participants
dress in clothes that are symbolic, not functional. They
go through a centuries-old ritual for the conferment of
degrees and diplomas - a milestone in the lives of our
graduates. We thank you for being present to share
this special event with us.
Photographs - Those wishing to take pictures of the graduates are most welcome to come forward to the left or right of
the stage. To avoid congestion of these areas, please wait until your particular graduate is ready to cross the stage before
you come forward.

The Right Honourable Paul Martin
DOCTOR OF LAWS
In 2003, The Right Honourable Paul Martin became Canada’s 21st prime minister, remaining so until
2006. While this accomplishment is impressive in itself, it is easy to forget that a prime minister leads a life
of achievement before being sworn into office and after his or her term ends. Mr. Martin is no exception.
Mr. Martin is a graduate of the University of Toronto’s St. Michael’s College, where he received an
Honours degree in History and Philosophy. He also attended U of T’s Law School and was called to the
bar in 1966. Around this same time, in 1965, he married Sheila Ann Cowan.
In 1981, prior to his entry into the political arena, Mr. Martin acquired the world’s largest fleet of selfunloading vessels and offshore transhippers, The CSL Group Inc. This move was considered the most
significant buyout in Canada at the time.
Mr. Martin became Canada’s minister of finance in 1993 and maintained that position until 2002. He
was responsible for lifting the country’s 25-year deficit, as well as virtually all of Canada’s foreign debt,
both of which had reached record highs. If this wasn’t enough, he went on to achieve five consecutive
budget surpluses and restored the financial integrity of the Canada Pension Plan. Under his leadership,
regulations governing the country’s financial institutions were strengthened, which gained Canada
international attention as a model for sound financial regulation. In addition, 1999 saw Mr. Martin
named inaugural chair of the finance ministers and central bank governors new Group of Twenty (G-20).
The Martin Aboriginal Education Initiative was the former prime minister’s brain child and aimed to
see the high school drop-out rate of Aboriginal youth in Canada decline. As well, Mr. Martin and his
son, David, founded the Capital for Aboriginal Prosperity and Entrepreneurship Fund, which supports
growth in Aboriginal businesses, both on and off reserves.
If prime ministers are supposed to “retire” after leaving office, The Right Honourable Paul Martin may not
know the meaning of the word. These days, he can be found chairing the British-Norwegian poverty and
sustainable development fund for the ten-nation Congo Basin Rainforest. The fund was previously cochaired by the late Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Wangari Maathai, and is worth $200 million.
Mr. Martin and his wife Sheila have three sons, Paul, Jamie, and David, and three grandsons, Ethan,
Liam, and Finn.

John Mason
DOCTOR OF SCIENCE
Since earning an Honours Bachelor of Science in 1975, John Mason has carried his Geology degree
from Lakehead University far. His main interests, professionally and academically, are mineral deposits and
Precambrian geology, for which he proudly credits Lakehead’s Geology Department and its solid curriculum.
Mr. Mason served for 36 years as regional manager of the Resident Geologists Program at the Ontario
Ministry of Northern Development and Mines with the goal, among others, of attracting new exploration
investment to Northwestern Ontario.
Today he works with the Thunder Bay Community Economic Development Commission where he
holds the title of project manager, mining services. His focus is on mineral exploration and mining
in Northwestern Ontario, with an aim to capitalize on business, job, and economic development
opportunities in this region.
Outside the office, Mr. Mason’s résumé is just as impressive. He belongs to the Northwestern Ontario
Prospectors Association, the Ontario Prospectors Association, the Canadian Institute of Mining and
Metallurgy, the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada, and the Association of Mineral
Exploration British Columbia. He is a registered professional geoscientist in the province of Ontario. As
well, he chairs the Mining and Exploration Sub-Committee at Lakehead University and is a member of
the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre’s Exceptional Cancer Care Fundraising Committee. An
elder at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, he is the chair of a Mission and Outreach Committee which
provides financial support for water well drilling by Lifewater Incorporated in impoverished countries,
such as Haiti, Liberia, and Kenya.
In 2012, Mr. Mason was presented the Ontario Prospectors Award. In the same year, along with
colleague Steve Demmings, he received the North American Infrastructure Strategic Project Award and
the Job Creation Award, the latter while attending the American Infrastructure Leadership Forum in
Denver, Colorado.
He is a confident promoter of the wealth and potential of minerals in Northwestern Ontario and firmly
believes the mineral sector can be utilized to improve the quality of life for its residents.
Lakehead University is not only John Mason’s alma mater but is also where he met his wife Barbara,
who attained a BA here in 1974 and an Honours Bachelor of Social Work in 1976, and with whom he
celebrates 38 years of marriage and two sons, Andrew and Michael. This year Michael will receive his
degree in Medicine from the Northern Ontario School of Medicine.

Arnold Park
Dolores Wawia
ALUMNI HONOUR AWARD
ALUMNI HONOUR AWARD
Mr. Arnold Park (BA, Grad Dip Bus, MBA), is the former
president and CEO of McCain Foods (Canada), and has
led a stellar career in the food industry.
He was born in Thunder Bay but grew up in Longlac,
Ontario, where his father was the postmaster. He enrolled
at Lakehead University in 1969 and received his BA in
political science and history in just two years, graduating
in 1971. Park then completed a Graduate Diploma in
business from Lakehead in 1972 before going to the
University of Windsor and obtaining an MBA in 1973.
After graduating from Windsor, Park wasted no time
launching his marketing career. He held positions such as
product manager for H.J. Heinz, advertising executive for
Vickers and Benson, group product manager for McCain
Foods in New Brunswick, executive vice-president with
Cobi Foods, and vice-president of marketing with McCain
Foods USA in Chicago. He remained with McCain Foods
and was president and CEO of McCain Canada during his
last ten years with the company.
Mr. Park retired in 2005, but still remains active in the
food industry. He and his son opened the Cedar Bay
Grilling Company Ltd. in Nova Scotia. Park intends to
expand Cedar Bay Grilling into new markets as well as do
consulting work.
He also skis, swims, and runs a hobby farm where he
raises cattle and horses. In addition, Park serves on the
Nova Scotia Farm Loan Board and the Board of Directors
of Infoway Health Canada, while still having children at
home – three daughters, ages 15, 13, and 9, who were
adopted from China as infants.
Mr. Arnold Park has the highest regard for Lakehead,
and is grateful that he was given a chance to pursue his
academic interests.
He entered Lakehead as a mature student and did well in
both his undergraduate and graduate programs. He has
a fond association with Thunder Bay and returns at least
once a year.
Dolores Wawia (BA, BEd, MEd) is a celebrated innovator in
Aboriginal education.
Born in Beardmore, Ontario, and the eldest of 12 children,
she grew up in Gull Bay First Nation on Lake Nipigon’s
shores. She had tuberculosis as a child and was sent to
the Fort William Sanatorium in what is now Thunder Bay.
Upon recovery, she went to St. Joseph’s Residential School
and then attended high school locally.
With no plans for a future education or career, Wawia
went home, married, and raised a family. When the
marriage failed, she completed her high school diploma
and enrolled in the Lakehead Teachers’ College. After
graduating in 1969, she taught in southern Ontario.
In 1974, she received a Bachelor of Arts degree from
McMaster University, becoming one of the first Aboriginal
women from Northwestern Ontario to do so.
Wawia returned to Gull Bay to teach and later accepted
a position with Lakehead University to develop and teach
innovative Aboriginal education courses. “I wanted to
meet the needs of Native children because 97% of them
dropped out by Grade 10,” explains Wawia. She was
also a teacher counselor with Lakehead’s Native Teacher
Education Program from 1975-84.
While working full-time and raising three teenagers,
Wawia earned her bachelor and master of education
degrees from Lakehead in 1982-83, becoming a tenured
faculty member in 1989. She was McMaster University’s
Coordinator of Indigenous Studies from 1993-96.
She currently teaches at Lakehead University and is
co-chair of the Lakehead Board of Education’s Aboriginal
Education Advisory Committee. She is also passionate
about collecting frogs, an appropriate hobby for a woman
whose Aboriginal name, Muk-Kee-Queh, means Frog Lady.
Lakehead declared her Elder-in-Residence in 2003 and
in 2005 Wawia was chosen as one of Lakehead’s 40
Northern Lights during the University’s 40th anniversary
celebrations. She received the Seven Generations
Achievement Award in 2007.
Now, Professor Wawia is receiving an Alumni Honour
Award for her unfailing devotion to Aboriginal education.

*FIRST CLASS STANDING
The Mace
The mace, originally a mediaeval weapon of offense in the form of a club, weighted heavily at one end,
and usually made of iron, steel or brass, was designed to break through the heaviest armour. Bishops
carried maces in battle, rather than swords, in order to conform to the canonical rule which forbade
priests to shed blood.
The earliest ceremonial maces were carried by royal body guards known as serjeants-at-arms in formal
processions of the courts of Phillip II of France, and probably Richard I of England. However, the practical
purpose of discouraging attacks upon the king gradually gave way to the European love of ceremony,
and as early as the 14th century maces tended to be more decorative and symbolic.
The mace has thus come to represent the authority of the body or institution which possesses it. In
Canada’s Parliament, for example, a mace is carried into the House at the beginning of each session by
the sergeant-at-arms. Similarly, at many Canadian universities, a mace is present at ceremonial functions
to represent the ongoing authority, dignity and spirit of the university.
The official mace of Lakehead University, a gift of the Alumni Association, was designed by Ken Campbell of the
Board of Education and constructed by John Butler, Senior Technician in the University’s Science Workshop.
In keeping with the responsibilities of Lakehead University, the new mace is made entirely of materials
from the region of Northwestern Ontario. The head consists of a golden cluster of jack pine cones on a
smooth silver hemisphere. It is surrounded by two nickel-silver rings on either side of a band of polished
nickel inscribed with official insignia of Lakehead University. The base of the head is comprised of four
triangular specimens of ore mined in the region: silver, gold, nickel and copper. Below the ores is a handle
of silver which leads into a shaft of stainless steel surrounded by fluted bronze. Upon a narrow insert of
silver is inscribed the motto of the University. The shaft ends in a boss of nickel-silver with an insert of
local amethyst crystal. Each section of the shaft is separated by a small silver ring.
The mace was used for the first time in the Convocation ceremonies, Saturday, May 27, 1972.
Lakehead University
