award and a reflection of the great guys I have on this team. They
proved themselves again tonight.
The national championship capped an amazing year for both
UNBC basketball teams. The mens and womens teams both
finished the regular season with 17 wins and one loss and while
the women were upset in the Provincials, the men captured the
provincial title in Nanaimo in a prelude to the Nationals. 2009-10
was also a season of individual awards: Mike Raimbault (BC
and Canadian coach of the year), Inderbir Singh Gill (CCAA Male
Athlete of the Year, BC player of the year, Academic All-Canadian,
Provincials and Nationals MVP), and Christine Kennedy (BC
player of the year and All-Canadian) were among those...

rewarded for impressive personal performances.
Im the happiest player in Canada right now, said Gill after the gold
medal game. This is the best team Ive ever played on; every player
is like a brother to me.
Nearly 100 UNBC fans including students and staff from Prince
George, a dozen local First Nations drummers, the Timberwolf
mascot, and alumni now living in Calgary were on hand for history-
in-the-making. Despite making up a small portion of the 1000 fans
in attendance at the game, they were easily as loud as the fans for
the hometown Trojans and they were the talk of the tournament.
Were used to this type of crowd in Prince George, said Gill after
the game. Theyre the best fans in Canada.
It was an amazing set of games, added UNBC President George
Iwama, who was in Calgary for all three UNBC games at Nationals.
The coaches and players kept their composure, played hard, and
brought home the gold. Its what UNBC is all about: a strong team
striving to be nothing but the best.

F ollowing a 17-1 season and five more wins at the provincial and national championships, the UNBC Northern Timberwolves lived up to their #1 ranking and
captured a Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA)
championship for the first time in the history of UNBC Athletics.
The Timberwolves took on the host Southern Alberta Institute

they entered the tournament as the team to beat. The final
score was 96-63.

folks can come by to sample our food and
take in live music or comedy.

The masters degree project of Ryan James
(MEd Counselling 09) has led to a place
where Prince George residents can go for
affordable counseling. James used the idea
for the Community Care Centre as a way of
fulfilling a project component of his graduate
degree in Educational Counseling. The
Calgary native has worked as the Clinical
Supervisor at the downtown site since it
began operations in January.
Lonnie Eckhart (BComm 02) manages a
not-for-profit company that is distributing
new software used by physicians to manage
and share information on everything from
billing to patient medical records. Not many
people know this was developed in northern
BC by local doctors, says Eckhart. This

just my way of paying it forward! Students

and left quietly, as cries echoed in the village
throughout the night and into the morning.
The scene in Port au Prince will last forever
in my mind. Bodies of children and the
elderly were tangled in piles of concrete and
rebar. Residents with bloodshot eyes and
dusty clothing searched for friends. I could
visualize what the deceased were doing
the moment they
died, the clothes
they wore, the
unborn babies some
women carried.
The air was dusty,
smoky, stale, and
humid. The smells
were horrific - people put toothpaste under
their noses and jammed leaves up their
nostrils. We had no communication with the
outside world and no idea what was going
on.
We left the city to help organize a relief
effort. Haiti Outreachs can-do mentality and
ability to handle logistics was immediately
applied to mobilize trucks to deliver water
D uring my time in Haiti, I spent many nights gazing at the vast expanse of Port au Prince. As a geologist, I grimaced
at the susceptibility of the capital city to
earthquakes: a disaster always seemed
inevitable. I prayed whenever I walked
beneath a concrete overhang or entered a
shoddy-looking building.
I was in a small boat
off the southwest
coast of the
Haitian island of la
Gonave when the
earthquake struck.
I had been working
on a water supply
project with Concern Worldwide and Haiti
Outreach and was about 20 miles from the
epicentre.
That first night was one of terrifying tremors
and of listening to names of the dead being
read on the radio. The entire country slept
outside for fear of aftershocks and concern
for loved ones not yet found. Members of
our team learned of deaths in their families
and facilitate medical teams to arrive via the
Dominican Republic. We worked tirelessly
for weeks.
When it came time for me to leave, I found
the most pressing issue in Haiti to be
related to shelter and housing. Most of the
residents have been forced into makeshift
tent cities, which are becoming permanently
dependent on international food aid, water,
and sanitation. This dependency needs
to be stopped by constructing affordable
housing on a massive scale.
Haitis future also depends on an
international response focused on rebuilding
and encouraging private investment. It is my
hope that Haiti will become less centralized
through Port au Prince and able to lead their
rebuilding with the help of the international
community. Hopefully this rebuilding effort
will reestablish Haiti as the Pearl of the
Caribbean it once was.
I will do what I can to make this happen.
The scene will last forever in my mind.

UNBC Leaders: A New Chancellor
Medical MilestoneTen years ago, residents of northern BC
demanded a response to a crisis in local
health care. One of the events saw more
than 5,000 people pack into the arena
in Prince George. The Northern Medical
Program was born that day. What a
difference a decade makes: the medical
program has produced two grad classes,
a nurse practitioner program is now
being offered, Nursing enrolments have
increased 300%, and the Northern Medical
Programs Trust has raised $6 million to
support students. This incredible decade
will be celebrated on June 22 when the
communities, individuals, and corporations
that have supported the expansion will be
recognized. Plan to attend.
A Carnival for 2010Donors, students, and alumni were among
the attendees at a winter carnival that
was held on campus to coincide with the
opening ceremony for the 2010 Winter
Olympics. The Northern University Student
Centre was packed for the event, which
included a donation from RBC of artwork
that was created when the Olympic torch
came to Prince George. The painting
(below), created while the canvas was
spinning, is now on display in the Charles
Jago Northern Sport Centre.
Giving BackThe 900+ students who will be graduating
from UNBC this spring are starting a new
tradition and making UNBC better in
the process. The Class of 2010 will be
the first to give something back through
a class gift, which, this year, will involve
the establishment of an alumni lounge.
This lounge, located in the Bentley Centre,
will be a place for studying, socializing,
and displaying photographs of UNBCs
graduating classes going back to 1994.
The renovation will raise the profile of the
alumni among current students and provide
an opportunity for grads to come back and
reminisce about their time at UNBC. New
grads are being asked to contribute $20.10
and their efforts are being supported by
UNBC President George Iwama and his
wife, Marilyn, who are contributing $2,010
to the cause.
Endowment Funds ReboundLast year, in the wake of the financial crisis,
the value of the UNBC endowment fund
which supports many student awards and
some research activity had lost millions of
dollars in value. Remarkably, much of the
17% decline has been made up through
2009-10. Nevertheless, some endowment
funds are still underwater, meaning that
they are currently worth less than the
original amount donated. For 2010, any
endowment funds unable to support the
disbursement of student awards at their full
value will be supplemented by donations
that are made to UNBC in support of the
Universitys greatest needs. Last year, the
University also adjusted the annual pay-
out from endowment funds to 3.5% of the
value of the fund; down from 5%. In 2009,
students received $1.2 million through 486
awards created by donors.

MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates, a
leading Canadian company and a world
leader in space science and technology;
CEO of Day4 Energy Inc., a BC solar
company; PhD in Electrical Engineering from

UNBC has the potential to play a major role in renewable energy.
What:UNBCs fifth Chancellor. The Chancellor is
the ceremonial head of the University and a
primary duty is granting degrees at annual
Convocation ceremonies.
When:To be officially installed as Chancellor at
the first of UNBCs three convocation
ceremonies on May 28th in Prince George.
Where:After the Prince George ceremony,
Dr. MacDonald will join other UNBC
dignitaries at a series of regional graduation
celebrations. One of these will occur in Dr.
MacDonalds childhood hometown of Prince
Rupert, where he graduated from Booth
Memorial high school.
Why:UNBC is changing the northern region and
Im especially looking forward to visiting
places like my old hometown and presenting
degrees to people who will make important
contributions to their community and our
country. One of the things I discovered
during my retirement (from MacDonald
Dettwiler) is the importance of renewable
energy and the special opportunity BC has
to be a global leader in this field. Renewable
energy has the potential to define the 21st
Century the way the automobile defined
the last century. If that ends up happening,
an institution like UNBC has the potential
to help the North play a major role in
developing new forms of renewable energy
technology. This university can produce and
attract the brainpower necessary to move
northern BC into the mainstream of a new
21st century industry.

country. One of the things I discovered
during my retirement (from MacDonald
Dettwiler) is the importance of renewable
energy and the special opportunity BC has
to be a global leader in this field. Renewable
energy has the potential to define the 21st
Century the way the automobile defined
the last century. If that ends up happening,
an institution like UNBC has the potential
to help the North play a major role in
developing new forms of renewable energy
technology. This university can produce and
attract the brainpower necessary to move
northern BC into the mainstream of a new
21st century industry.
- John MacDonald
UNBCs biggest renewable energy project so far: A bioenergy facility that will open later this year.

A Good Haul: Team UNBC winners pose with their awards after a successful JDC West Business Competition.
www.unbc.ca/releases
T he teams representing the University of Northern British Columbia at this years JDC (Jeux de Commerce) West Business Competition gave the
University its most successful showing to date. UNBC,
which hosted the event with the City of Prince George,
took home two first place awards as well as a second
and third place finish. The contest involved nearly 550
students from top universities across western Canada and
included academic competitions, athletic challenges, a
social competition, and a charity initiative.
The overall consensus was that this was an extremely
positive event for all participants, says UNBC student
Evan Dusdal, one of the team captains. Achieving
an overall ranking of fourth out of ten teams is a great
achievement, considering UNBC was the smallest school
to participate.
JDC West ended with a Gala Dinner and Awards
Ceremony and a keynote address by Lieutenant-General,
the Honourable Romo Dallaire, who currently serves in
the Senate of Canada.
UNBC Stands up For HaitiUNBC students organized a day of
fundraising for victims of the Haitian
earthquake. UNBC Stands Up
for Haiti: A Day of Fundraising and
Awareness was held at UNBCs
Prince George campus on February
24, and featured a variety of events
as well as presentations from University president George Iwama,
International Studies professor Heather Smith, and Becky Row from
the Canadian Red Cross. The more than $7,400 collected went to
Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti.
Best in the WestThe 19th annual Macleans
magazine ranking of Canadian
Universities confirmed UNBC is
the best small university in western
Canada, and one of the best in the
country. Macleans ranked UNBC
third in its category of primarily
undergraduate universities.
As in other years, UNBC achieved the high ranking on the strength
of its students, high quality faculty, research activity (number one in
Canada) and its growing national reputation.
Iwama Installed as 4th PresidentHundreds of local residents,
students, UNBC employees,
and even the Consul General of
Japan were in attendance for the
installation of Dr. George Iwama
as he became UNBCs fourth
president. The ceremony was
held at the Charles Jago Northern Sport Centre and included the
unveiling of the convocation robes, the oath of office, and greetings
from representatives of universities and colleges across Canada.
National Teaching AwardUNBC Mathematics professor
Jennifer Hyndman has been
awarded the Excellence in
Teaching Award by the Canadian
Mathematical Society. The
award recognizes sustained and
distinguished contributions in
teaching at the undergraduate level and will be presented at the
Societys 2010 Summer Meeting in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
Cancer Research StudentshipUNBC student Dustin King won a
Studentship from the BC Cancer
Agency to conduct research
at UNBC this summer. The
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
student will research cancer with
Chemistry prof Chow Lee, and
investigate the way certain molecules help spread the disease.
UNBCs 9th Canada Research ChairDr. Margot Parkes was recently
named Canada Research Chair in
Health, Ecosystems, and Society
the Universitys ninth CRC
appointment. Dr. Parkes research
examines the effect of changing
ecosystems on the health of
communities, with a focus on water as a common resource.
Excellent PaperUNBC Forestry professor Chris
Opio and grad student Zhengzhe
He received an Excellent Paper
Award at the 2nd International
Conference on Strategy and
Marketing in Beijing recently. Out
of the nearly one hundred entries,
their paper on trade restrictions to
softwood lumber was one of only two to receive such distinction.
Carbon Footprint ProjectThe Stellaten First Nation recently
recruited UNBC environmental
scientist Stephen Dry to help their
community become greener. Rural
First Nations communities face
many pollution problems that larger
cities dont have to deal with, says
Dr. Dry. Im trying to help the community overcome factors such
as the remoteness of the region, lack of public transportation, the
harsh climate, and high energy use for heating.
PGRH Now University HospitalPrince George Regional Hospital
has been renamed the University
Hospital of Northern British
Columbia. The new name better
reflects the current role of the
hospital as the main teaching site
for the Northern Medical Program,
said BCs Health Services Minister Kevin Falcon. The NMP
welcomed its first students in 2004 and is a partnership between
UNBC and UBC.
