(april 24, 2008 - thunder bay, on) three weeks ago, lakehead university 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 voted in a lusu referendum to pay increased student activity fees to cover the cost of pool renovation and repairs.

世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 also entrusted lusu with leading the task to develop and execute fundraising initiatives that would offset the cost involved in repairing the facility, and to increase awareness of the facility's use by a greater number of members and external user groups.

this evening, lusu celebrated the referendum results with a party in the outpost to recognize the efforts of a group that refers to themselves as the lakehead university pool supporters -- 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , staff, faculty, alumni, and community pool users who have been advocating on behalf of saving the lakehead university pool for the past 12 months.

to mark the occasion, the pool supporters presented lakehead university with a cheque for $7,837, which represents $1 for every full - and part-time student currently enrolled at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 .

"every dollar raised for the 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 and designated for the pool, means one less dollar that 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 will have to pay through activity fees," says frances harding, a 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 staff member, pool user, and donor. "the presentation of this cheque tonight marks the beginning of a larger fundraising campaign that will be spearheaded by lusu over the coming months."

"by contributing to the pool fund, community members have shown lakehead 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 that their leadership and hard work in saving this facility is not only recognized, but is also appreciated," says longtin. "it is also gratifying to see the team effort put forth, and to see that community members continue to play a vital role as part of the team."

"lakehead administration is pleased that the pool consultation process was successful, and that the best solution for stakeholders was ultimately brought forward," says director of lakehead athletics tom warden. "we hope to complete pool construction as soon as possible, but the university community needs to be aware that some inconvenience will be experienced during the construction process."

donations to the pool may be made through the office of university advancement, 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 , 955 oliver road, thunder bay, ontario p7b 5e1, telephone: 807-343-8300. to donate online, visit https://webserver1.lakeheadu .ca/donate.

the ontario government's ontario trust for student support (otss) program will match tournament funds raised - dollar for dollar. "not only are we pleased to be celebrating a benchmark anniversary for this event, but we're extremely grateful to be able to provide 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 in need with double the funds for educational scholarships and bursaries," says bonnie moore, director of university advancement.

the theme and goal of this year's tournament is $25,000 for 25 years. last year, the event raised $17,000 to benefit lakehead 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , but staff, committee members, and volunteers are eager to surpass that goal this year.

bill keeler, tournament committee co-chair, discussed the many improvements being made to this year's tournament format - changes which will appropriately commemorate the significance of the event's 25^th anniversary. whitewater golf club will host the best ball tournament, and participants will be eligible to receive many improved draws and prizes. "as the tournament's major sponsor, rbc royal bank will be providing additional sponsorship money, and will also offer a $10,000 hole-in-one prize. we know this is one challenge golfers will certainly look forward to attempting to meet on game day," keeler says.

"in addition to looking for tournament participants for this worthy cause, we're also looking for volunteers and sponsors," adds alumni relations manager rob zuback. those interested in registering a team, volunteering, or providing sponsorship may find out more by calling lakehead's alumni relations office at 807-343-8155 or visitinghttp://www.lakeheadualumni.ca.

(march 28, 2008 - orillia, on) canadians like to laugh, and our senses of humour, like our seasons, certainly vary. luckily, canada's writers tickle a variety of funny bones, and their best recent works are represented on the 2008 short-list for the leacock memorial medal for humour.

awarded annually by the leacock association, the stephen leacock memorial medal recognizes the most humorous book published in canada, by a canadian, in the previous year. 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 sponsors a national advertising campaign designed to raise the profile of this award, which carries a cash prize of $10,000 - sponsored by td bank financial group.

"the leacock memorial award has recognized humorous literature since 1947, and it represents a key element of our literary tradition," adds lakehead professor and leacock associate linda rodenburg.

"one of the best ways to encourage children to read is when they see their parents enjoying a good book. that's one reason why we're proud to support the leacock medal and the wonderful books it recognizes," said frank mckenna, deputy chair, td bank financial group and td's literacy champion. "we're proud to be associated with a program that supports canada's unique brand of humour."

other previous authors who have been recognized for their witty words include w.o. mitchell, pierre berton, farley mowat, roch carrier, eric nicol, mordecai richler, robertson davies, and recent canada reads! winner paul quarrington.

entries are judged by a national, anonymous panel comprising five national judges and a panel of 11 local readers. their combined vote determines which literary work will be deemed worthy of recognition as part of the leacock tradition.

books shortlisted for the 2008 stephen leacock memorial medal for humour are the gum thief (douglas coupland); the best laid plans (terry fallis); spanish fly (will ferguson); king john of canada (by scott gardiner); and god created manyberries (ron wood).

the winner of the 2008 award will be announced during a luncheon at orillia's stephen leacock museum on april 30. in addition, a gala dinner will be held to honour this year's recipient on june 7.

synopses of texts:

the gum thief by douglas coupland
for the second year in a row, vancouver's douglas coupland has landed a novel on the list of books short-listed for the stephen leacock medal. the author of jpod, microserfs and generation x has written the gum thief, a finely crafted account of two co-workers with nothing in common who ultimately have very much in common. roger, a middle-aged divorcee and bethany, a young goth share the same occupation and little else. but there are secret lives and a secret correspondence ensues when roger writes a mock diary of bethany's life which is dead-on. coupland manages to write a story which is wise, witty and unforgettable about love, death and friendships that can occur when least expected.

the best laid plans by terry fallis
terry fallis's the best laid plans centres around a cranky and reluctant political candidate who consents to run in a federal election based on the fact that he is "certain-to-lose." daniel, a jaded and burned out former speech writer is eager to leave politics for the relative calm of academia. his final political assignment is to find a candidate - any candidate he can uncover - to run in a futile race against a wildly popular cabinet minister in the ottawa area. daniel finds a candidate in crusty angus mclintock, who in mourning for his wife, reluctantly accepts the task with the proviso that he won't campaign, give interviews, canvass door-to-door, attend all-candidate meetings, use lawn signs, contact with campaign workers or even be in the country during the election campaign! as the reader can well imagine, things do not turn out as anticipated - always a great source of humour.

spanish fly by will ferguson
the winner of the leacock medal in 2002 and again in 2005, will ferguson's latest novel has put him once again on the short list for this prestigious award. spanish fly takes us back to the 1930s and the depression towns of the american dustbowl. jack, a self-taught con artist who's learned to survive on wits alone, joins virgil and miss rose, two eccentric and relatively successful swindlers as they go on a crime spree that takes them through texas and the southwest using whatever ruse they can to make money. devious, predatory but highly likeable, the trio seem like bonnie and clyde without bullets until they run into a scheme which makes them - and the reader - wonder if someone is being "set up." told with wit, style and subtle humour, ferguson has managed to tell a story that grabs the reader from page one.

king john of canada by scott gardiner
toronto author scott gardiner has brilliantly imagined a canada of the near future where, through a "series of accidents" our country ends up with a king chosen by lottery. with the house of windsor imploding and the governor general having resigned in disgrace, john, an "ordinary" guy from toronto suddenly becomes king john of canada. he proves to be a genius at understanding exactly what canadians want - from toronto's separatism to quebec referenda toour role as peacekeepers. the novel is witty and insightful and worthy of being nominated for the leacock medal. stephen would have been proud of the premise!

and god created manyberries by ron wood
with sharp wit, bold characterization and a keen eye for observing what is important - and funny - to canadians, ron wood has written a book which skews the political leadership and the small town foibles of this country. sounds rather leacock-ian doesn't it? as a former political backroom communications advisor, wood knows of which he speaks. it is easy for the reader to imagine the characters in this book with their concerns, their plots and their humorous approaches to life in a small alberta town. carrying on the great tradition of haliburton and leacock, ron wood has portrayed a western small town that seems as real as it is funny.
