NORTH ISLAND COLLEGE BOARD OF GOVERNORS JANUARY 28, 2016

Vision: North Island College is a premier community and destination college, in a spectacular west-coast environment, that inspires and prepares students for success in a rapidly changing world. AGENDA ITEM: Regular Meeting 2.4.1 F15/16 Q3 Financial Forecast Report (attachment) Three times each year (June, September and December) the College is required to submit a four year financial forecast to the Province for consolidation into the Government financial reporting. The Province requires the Chair of the Finance Committee or Chair of the Board to sign the submission to confirm review and acceptance. Our practice has been to have the Chair of the Finance Committee do the review and sign off. There is also requirement that the information be shared with the full Board. The Q3 Forecast Confirmation (attached) was signed by Derek Lamb after he completed his review of the full forecast. The Q3 forecast projects F15/16 revenue and expenses to be $41.3M which is a small decrease ($.3M) from the Q2 forecast prepared in September ($41.6M). The change is due to a ~$500K decrease in Province of BC Contract revenue, partially offset by an increase in funding for student awards related to the Adult Upgrading Grant program. The forecast includes the cost of labour settlements and related funding. The Q3 forecast is prepared in early December, a month before the Q3 financial statements are prepared. In developing the Financial Projection to March 31, 2016 which will be presented to the Board at the January meeting, we have more complete information so there is usually a difference between the Q3 forecast prepared for the Province and the financial projection prepared for internal purposes. Action: For information only


Vision: North Island College is a premier community and destination college, in a spectacular west-coast environment, that inspires and prepares students for success in a rapidly changing world. AGENDA ITEM: Regular Meeting 2.4.2 Review of Investment Portfolio The Chair of the Finance and Audit Committee will report on the Committee’s November meeting with Margaret Lanthier from Genus, the College’s investment manager to review the investment performance. Below is an excerpt from the Genus presentation to the Committee that shows the 4 year performance of the funds from Oct 1 2012 – September 30 2015. Note that “withdrawals and fees” includes the $500,000 that was withdrawn as part of the transfer of $615K to the Foundation at the end of fiscal 2014/15.

Based on the review of the investment performance, the Committee is very satisfied with the investment management services of Genus, the portfolio management firm. The College’s Investment Policy requires the Board to approve the Investment Program each year. This year, the Committee is undertaking a review of the Investment policy which will include incorporating the Investment Program into the Policy. The plan is to bring the revised policy back to the Board later in the year. Until the revised policy is approved, the Investment Program remains unchanged. Action: For the Board’s information

AGENDA ITEM: Regular Meeting

3.2.1 FALL 2015/WINTER 2016 CUMULATIVE STABLE

ENROLMENT REPORT (attachment) Relationship to values: Accountability Relationship to strategic issues: Long-term Sustainability Reason: Lisa Domae, Vice President, Learning and Students will present the Fall 2015/Winter 2016 Cumulative Stable Enrolment Report. Separate reports have been provided for domestic and international student data:

• Domestic students • Fall 2015/Winter 2016 Cumulative Stable Enrolment Report – Instructional Area • Fall 2015/Winter 2016 Cumulative Stable Enrolment Report – Campus/Location

• International students • Fall 2015/Winter 2016 Cumulative Stable Enrolment Report – Instructional Area • Fall 2015/Winter 2016 Cumulative Stable Enrolment Report – Campus/Location • Fall 2015/Winter 2016 International Student Citizenship

Fall/Winter cumulative stable enrolment captures enrolment in credit courses for programs confirmed during the Fall 2015 and Winter 2016 Semesters at the winter term stable enrolment date and provides a point-in-time comparison with enrolment during the same period in the previous year. Stable enrolment is defined as the last date a student can withdraw from a course and receive a refund of tuition; for classes beginning in January, this date is typically ten days after the first day of classes. The attached reports provide a comparison of enrolment on this year’s stable enrolment date of January 13, 2016 with enrolment on last year’s stable enrolment date of January 14, 2015. Stable enrolments are expressed as unduplicated headcounts which represent the number of unique students enrolled at NIC. Student headcounts are reported irrespective of the number of course registrations and therefore, are not equivalent to full-time equivalent (FTE) enrolments. Action: For the Board’s information. Suggested Resolution: NONE REQUIRED.

INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH & PLANNING

FALL 2015 / WINTER 2016 CUMULATIVE STABLE ENROLMENT SUMMARY

The fall/winter cumulative stable enrolment reports are a point-in-time comparison of 2015 Fall Term and 2016 Winter Term headcount with 2014 Fall Term and 2015 Winter Term headcount as of January 13, 20161. Fall/Winter stable enrolment is the final enrolment report of the academic year. International and domestic enrolments are reported separately. At the 2016 Winter Term stable enrolment date, domestic student headcount was down 6% (198 students) and international student headcount is up 16% (41 students). It is important to note that new enrolment is ongoing and students will continue to register in continuous intake programming, community/industry responsive programming, and winter term program intakes. DOMESTIC PROGRAM ENROLMENT - YEAR-OVER-YEAR CHANGES

University Studies & Applied Programs University Studies & Applied Programs enrolment is 3% (47 students) higher than last year. Interactive Media & Graphic Design, Fine Arts and Information Technology & Computer Science enrolments are strong with Interactive Media & Graphic Design up by 56% (27 students). Adventure Guiding Certificate enrolment is higher this year by 9 students. Tourism & Hospitality Management is lower by 14 students. Access & Upgrading Access & Upgrading program enrolment is 22% (242 students) lower than last year. Adult Basic Education (ABE) enrolment constitutes almost all of the decline with 218 fewer students (25% lower). English as a Second Language (ESL) enrolment is lower by 26% (20 students). Access for Students with Disabilities (ASD) enrolment is on par with last year. All levels of ABE have lower enrolment this year with the biggest percentage decline in ABE Intermediate (down by 45%, or 117 students), followed by ABE Fundamental (down by 23%, or 56 students), ABE Provincial (down by 19%, or 65 students) and ABE Advanced (down by 17%, or 47 students). Although ABE enrolment will grow modestly to the end of the year as students register in continuous intake and planned in-community intake courses, it is expected that enrolment will remain substantially lower than last year. Health & Community Care Health & Community Care enrolment is 1% (6 students) higher than last year. Practical Nursing has 7 more students this year. Bachelor of Science in Nursing is on par with last year. Human Services has 13 more students with a one-time funded intake of Aboriginal Education Assistant/Community Support Worker running in Mount Waddington in 2016 Winter Term. A one-time funded intake of Health Care Assistant (10 students) beginning in February continues to fill. Early Childhood Care & Education is lower by 11% (12 students) this year.

Continuing Education & Training Continuing Education & Training enrolment in credit programs is 44% (69 students) lower than last year. Enrolment in all programs is virtually on par with last year with the exception of the Occupational Skills group (Labour Market Agreement funded programs). Provincial contracts associated with the delivery of LMA programming have declined across the Province as a result of the Ministry tendering process for the delivery of training being made open to public and private training institutions in addition to non-profits and formal associations.

1 Stable enrolment is defined as the last date a student can withdraw from a course and receive a refund of tuition. For classes

beginning in January, this date is typically ten days after the first day of classes. Stable enrolment for 2016 Winter Term was January 13, 2016.

2

Trades & Technology, and Apprenticeship Training Trades & Technology program enrolment is on par with last year and Apprenticeship Training enrolment is 10% (27 students) higher this year. Intakes of Carpentry Foundation, Electrical Foundation, Heavy Mechanical Foundation, Metal Fabrication Foundation, Plumbing & Piping Foundation and Welding are running in 2016 Winter Term. Enrolment is expected to grow modestly as applications are strong and most of these programs (with the exception of Carpentry and Heavy Mechanical) have start dates in February or March, including a dual-credit, ACE-IT (Accelerated Credit Enrolment in Industry Training) intake of Welder Foundation. An intake of Electrical Foundation is being offered in Port Alberni in 2016 Winter Term. Apprenticeship Training program enrolment has been strong through 2015 Fall Term and into 2016 Winter Term with modest growth expected to the end of the fiscal year. Two intakes of Carpentry, three intakes of Construction Electrician, one intake of Heavy Duty Mechanic, one intake of Landscape Horticulture, two intakes of Plumbing and one intake of Professional Cook are scheduled to begin later in the year. Welder Foundation and Welder Apprenticeship Training programs will continue to admit students on a continuous entry basis for the remainder of the year.

DOMESTIC ENROLMENT BY CAMPUS

Campbell River Campus Overall enrolment at Campbell River campus is virtually on par with last year. Adult Basic Education enrolment is 37% (78 Students) lower than last year. Enrolment in Trades & Technology and Apprenticeship Training programs combined is 58 students higher than last year. One-time funded intakes of Welder Foundation, Heavy Mechanical Foundation, Heavy Duty Mechanic Apprenticeship and Lather: Wall & Ceiling Installer are running in 2015/16. Comox Valley Campus Enrolment at the Comox Valley campus is 4% (61 students) lower than last year mainly due to lower Adult Basic Education and English as a Second Language enrolment. Health & Human Services enrolment is up this year by 8% (22 students). Two, one-time funded intakes of Health Care Assistant are running in 2015/16. Port Alberni Campus Port Alberni campus enrolment is lower by 14% (61 students) this year due to lower enrolment in Adult Basic Education. University Studies and Health & Human Services enrolment is up this year (23% and 9%, respectively). Enrolment in Trades & Technology programs is higher this year with a one-time funded intake of Electrical Foundation starting in February (13 students currently enrolled). Suspension of the Professional Cook program is resulting in lower Apprenticeship Training numbers this year. Mount Waddington Regional Campus Enrolment in credit programs at Mount Waddington is up by 56% (30 students) this year with a new one-time funded, 2015 Fall Term intake of Coastal Forest Resource. Three Indigenous content courses – Introduction to Kwak’wala (KWA-096), First Peoples Literature and Composition (ENG-096) and Composition and Indigenous Literature (ENG-125) - are boosting enrolment in 2016 Winter Term. A one-time funded intake of Aboriginal Education Assistant/Community Support Worker is also running in 2016 Winter Term with 13 students.

Ucluelet Centre and In-community Programming Ucluelet Centre and in-community enrolment is 62% lower than last year (70 students). Lower ABE enrolment combined with fewer Occupational Skills Labour Market Agreement program offerings are contributing to the decline (see Continuing Education & Training above). New program and course intakes offered this year include:

Ahousaht - ABE and Early Childhood Education (in partnership with Ahousaht First Nations);

Bella Coola - ABE and Applied Business Technology (in partnership with the Lip’alhayc Learning Centre);

Gold River – ABE (in partnership with the Mowachaht/Muchalaht Adult Centre);

Lillooet – Underground Mining (in partnership with Lillooet First Nations); and,

Port Alice – Building Service Worker.

Distance Education Enrolment Enrolment in distance courses is virtually on par with last year. Almost all of NIC’s distance education enrolments (approximately 90%) are students who live in the region; approximately half of distance education students live in either the Comox Valley or Campbell River regions.

INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION International Education enrolment is up 16% (41 students) this year with 304 students from 34 countries attending NIC. Seventy-five percent of NIC’s international students are from three countries: India (146 students), China (55 students) and Japan (28 students). This year, North Island College welcomed new international students from Germany, Indonesia, Ireland, Mauritius, Romania, Turkey, Zambia and the Russian Federation. In line with historical enrolment patterns, international student enrolment this year is very strong in Business Administration, comprising 38% of that program area by headcount, and University Studies. Other program areas attracting international students include Interactive Media, Fine Arts, Tourism and English Language programs. Virtually all (96%) of NIC’s international students attend the Comox Valley campus.

Notes:

• International Education student enrolments are excluded.

• Short duration, non-credit course enrolments are excluded (e.g. general interest and short-term vocational courses).

• Headcount totals and subtotals show unduplicated headcount (i.e. the number of unique students) and will, therefore, not equal the sum of subgroups

as students may be enrolled in more than one subgroup. For example, a student who is taking both University Studies and Business Administration

courses will be counted in each of these subgroups but will only be counted once in the subtotal for University Studies & Applied Programs.

• Headcounts are reported irrespective of registrations and therefore, are not equivalent to FTE (full-time equivalent) enrolments.

COMOX VALLEY CAMPUS

InternationalEducationWeek

SubmittedbyMargaretHearnden

International Education (IE) Week is celebrated each year in over 100 countries around the world, and aims to highlight the importance of international education for all Canadians.

Here at NIC during the week of November 16th to 20th, a variety of events were held to celebrate IE Week. The College Toastmasters group got the week off to an enthusiastic start with a visit from the Public Speaking World Champion Danajaya Hettiarachchi, who came to talk about the five leadership lessons he has learnt over the last ten years.


Tuesday, an interactive information session was held by Jim Anderson at the Campbell River campus on the Crete field school (information sessions were also held on Monday and Thursday at the Comox and Port Alberni campuses), enticing students to consider a European adventure as part of their studies.

Murray Erikson gave an inspiring talk with amazing photos on Wednesday about his faculty trip to South America over the summer. This was followed by an introduction to Salsa dancing in the student lounge, provided by Karin from Courtenay Salsa. Students, faculty and staff joined together to learn some new moves.

The week was rounded off on the Friday at the Comox Valley campus with ‘speed friending,’ and an opportunity for students to grab a photo of themselves with their friends from a portable photo booth, with the theme ‘Imagine yourself here.’ Students could choose from various backdrops, from the Eiffel Tower to the Taj Mahal. Caitlin Hartnett gave an inspiring presentation about the 2015 NIC Indigenous and International Foods Project. This was followed by a presentation by Norman Bendle on his exciting Global Learning Innovation Fund project that took place in Croatia over the summer, where Norman and two NIC students took part in the War and Peace Institute in Bosnia.

Throughout the week, the Comox Valley Cafeteria served delicious food from around the world to tempt students into an international taste experience.

SubmittedbySaraVipond

School of Fine Arts and Design faculty member, Sara Vipond, signed on as a North Island College co-applicant for a SSHRC Connections Grant for a project entitled "Where is Here?" The application was successful.

This project contributes to an emerging field of research focused on ‘deep’ cultural mapping as a catalyst for social cohesion through a three-pronged approach that includes:

a ‘deep-mapping’ research project within three small cities on Vancouver Island;

a symposium bringing together a group of cultural mapping proponents exploring the theoretical foundations and practical possibilities underlying ‘deep’ cultural mapping practices;

and an exhibition highlighting arts-based mapping traditions,

We intend to make a relevant knowledge contribution to this emerging field.

http://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/funding-financement/programs-programmes/connection_grants-subventions_connexion-eng.aspx

As the NIC co-applicant for the project, Sara Vipond will be giving a talk at the Prong 2: Symposium Explore Here and overseeing the Prong 3: Create Here, working with the invited artists in residence; Winnipeg-based Barbara Menelay and Calgary-based arts duo, Eric & Mia (Eric Moschopedis & Mia Rushton).

The number of students decreased from 12 to 10 as two of the participants received offers of full time employment during the month of December. Of the 10 remaining students, six were employed by their practicum employers.

The West Coast training initiative will go forward, offering the Professional Dining Service program in Tofino and the Industry Certification Series in Ucluelet. Training will take place at the Tin Wis Resort and the Ucluelet Centre of North Island College. Both training initiatives are set to commence February 9th.


The Underground Mining Essentials program in the Lillooet area is well underway. Our training partners have been providing supports for students to ensure that there are no barriers to the students continued attendance in the program. All students are committed and engaged. January will see the delivery of the last in-class components of this program, plus tours to local quarrying and mining operations. Participants will be on the mine site in February learning hands-on skills for the mining industry. Avino Silver and Gold continue to support the program and are committed to employing successful students.

In collaboration with Vancouver Island University, we will be offering the comprehensive Building Service Worker program at the Campbell River campus. Student interest has been strong. The classes are set to begin on January 18th.

Two cohorts of Wildfire Crew Member Training have been scheduled for the spring. Instructors have been secured, local employers and employment agencies have been notified, and posters have been distributed in community.

Six jewellery workshops have been added for summer (four are new).

A potluck was held with the Metal Jewellery Certificate students and instructors to celebrate the term end and give students a chance to show off their projects.

Staff worked with marketing on creating posters/ads for the Metal Jewellery Open House in April and the spring/summer workshops.

A few courses that we offered in the fall that were popular (Permaculture, Navigating in Windows, etc.) have been added to the winter/spring 2016 offerings in Campbell River.

Staff initiated a full page ad in Campbell River and Courtenay to promote winter Continuing Ed courses in both regions and sent email blasts to interest lists regarding the jewellery, basket weaving and business courses that are coming up.

CampbellRiverElderCollege

o ElderCollege Advisory has distributed their newsletter throughout the Campbell River region. This has prompted many inquiries from the public regarding registration. ElderCollege continues to work in the community, distributing information pamphlets to the Welcome Wagon, Community Centre etc., in hopes of increasing participation throughout the region. Planning is underway at this time for the Annual General Meeeting.

COMOX VALLEY

We are projecting 11 or 12 students for the February 1st start of Landscape Horticulture.

The operation rate for January stand-alone courses is approximately 80%. We estimate the one page ad resulted in approximately $2,500 gross additional enrolment revenue.

The Activity Assistant Certificate was completed at the end of December with 10 graduates.

Staff will meet with representatives from Vancouver Island University and Camosun to discuss Hospital Unit Clerk consistencies.

Email blasts for Permaculture: Design Your Property course contributed to this new offering operating at capacity on February 4th.


ComoxValleyElderCollege(CVEC):

o Student Services, Continuing Education staff and the CVEC Executive are working together on a workaround plan for 2016Wi ElderCollege registration. Another meeting will be held before correspondence goes out to CVEC members to ensure procedures are clear to all parties involved.

o The 2016Wi Newsletter is completed with 57 courses offered plus the Lecture Series. The newsletter has been emailed to 2014Fa and 2015Fa members and will be mailed out to those who do not have email addresses. It is now posted on CVEC website.

o The course leader’s orientation will be on Friday, January 15th. We will be providing information about NIC supports and handing out access cards to classrooms.

o An Information Forum is scheduled for Saturday, January 16th at 10am in the Stan Hagen Theatre and registration starts the week of January 18th.

PORT ALBERNI

We were awarded a contract with the Port Alberni Friendship Centre for training in Retail, Safety courses and Foodsafe for 2016.

Staff are marketing the Nursing Foot Care course that is coming up in February.

PortAlberniElderCollege

o PA ElderCollege handouts for winter/spring courses were created and were included in the January Sunshine Club newsletter and mailed out to members.

FIRST AID

We will start off January 2016 with two contracts. On January 4th we started an OFA Level 3 course at Western Forest Products and an Emergency Child Care First Aid at Wagalus Elementary in Fort Rupert. As well there are several other contracts running in January through March.

We also have training coming up for some Ministry funded programs as well as several Trades programs.

Staff are sending out emails for upcoming courses and continue to promote our Red Cross courses through the Red Cross website. We also participate in the bi-weekly newspaper ads and promote on Facebook & Twitter.


Vision: North Island College is a premier community and destination college, in a spectacular west-coast environment, that inspires and prepares students for success in a rapidly changing world. AGENDA ITEM: Regular Meeting 3.3.1 Third Quarter Financial Statements F15/16 (attachment) The third quarter financial statements to December 31, 2015 report a surplus of $791,955 which is primarily due to $603,245 revenue from unbudgeted realized capital gains on long term investments to December 31. This is similar to last year when long-term investments in pooled funds reported large realized gains resulting in unbudgeted revenue of $896,461 at December 31. Management recommends that the realized capital gains be transferred to the Foundation to complete funding of the College’s $1M financial commitment to the Campbell River Campus project. The other reason for the surplus is that International Education (IE) has a larger surplus at December 31 than last year due to higher tuition revenue. In Q3 last year, IE transferred $200,000 to the NIC Foundation to establish bursaries for international students. This has been a long-term goal of the division which has only become possible as enrollments exceed 200 FTEs. We are seeking board approval for the transfer of up to $250,000 of IE revenue to the Foundation for student bursaries conditional on the net revenue being available at year end. Action: For the Board’s review and approval Suggested Resolutions: THAT THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF NORTH ISLAND COLLEGE APPROVES A DONATION, UP TO THE AMOUNT OF REALIZED GAINS FROM INVESTMENTS IN THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2016, BE MADE TO THE NORTH ISLAND COLLEGE FOUNDATION FOR CAPITAL FUNDRAISING PROVIDING THAT NET REVENUES ARE AVAILABLE AT MARCH 31, 2016 TO FUND THE DONATION AND FURTHER THAT INTEREST EARNED ON THOSE FUNDS HELD BY NIC FOUNDATION BE RESTRICTED TO SUPPORT CAPITAL FUNDRAISING. THAT THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF NORTH ISLAND COLLEGE APPROVES A DONATION UP TO $250,000 OF INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION REVENUE BE MADE TO THE NORTH ISLAND COLLEGE FOUNDATION FOR AWARDS TO SUPPORT INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS PROVIDING THAT NET REVENUES ARE AVAILABLE AT MARCH 31, 2016 TO FUND THE DONATION.

AGENDA ITEM: Regular Meeting

3.3.2 Financial Projection to Year End March 31, 2016 (attachment)

Carol Baert has prepared a financial projection for the year ending March 31, 2015 for the Board’s information. The projection was reviewed and discussed at the Finance and Audit Committee meeting on January 20.

The financial projection forecasts that revenue and expenses will fully offset each other at March 31. Revenue will be ~$1M more than the Board approved budget. The increases are due to unbudgeted capital gains on investments as well as higher international tuition revenue. Provincial government revenue is also higher due to various one-time funding envelopes but there is also a significant reduction in Province of BC contract revenue. Carol will provide a brief verbal report at the meeting.

The projection includes a provision for a donation of $60,000 to the Foundation at the end of March. The Board’s practice has been to provide this donation to the Foundation if funds are available at year end. To enable Finance to record the donation in the current fiscal year, a resolution to approve the donation is required.

Action: For the Board’s information and approval

Suggested Resolution:

THAT THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS APPROVES A DONATION OF UP TO $60,000 BE MADE TO THE NORTH ISLAND COLLEGE FOUNDATION FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2016 PROVIDING THAT NET REVENUES ARE AVAILABLE TO FUND THE DONATION.

Mr. John Bowman, President and CEO North Island College 2300 Ryan Rd Courtenay BC V9N 8N6

Dear Mr. Bowman:

Our Ref. 100733

I am writing regarding North Island College's (NIC) Institutional Accountability Plan and Report (IAPR) for the 2014/15 reporting cycle.

I would like to convey my appreciation for the significant time and effort taken by NIC in preparing this year's IAPR. IAPRs are not only a clear indication of institutional accountability for the public's investment in post-secondary education, but also an important record of the many excellent programs and initiatives that are supporting a strong, growing and diverse economy in British Columbia.

I would also like to recognize NIC for its achievement of most of its performance framework targets in 2014/15. Although NIC did not achieve two targets, total student spaces and unemployment rate measure for apprenticeship graduates, I am encouraged by the college's efforts to address the challenges and implement strategies to increase student recruitment, retention and success.

I would like to acknowledge NIC for developing a comprehensive multi-year strategic plan that addresses the changing needs of the labour market and recognizes financial pressures for students, the college, partnership organizations (Aboriginal and non-profit), and governments. Specifically, I am pleased to see that the NJC Plan 2020 includes innovative programs that meet student and employer needs in the region and align with the B. C. Skills for Jobs Blueprint.

Looking ahead to the 2015/16 reporting cycle, one of the requirements under the Taxpayer Accountability Principles is for the Ministry of Advanced Education to develop an evaluation plan in collaboration with institutions. The purpose of the evaluation plan is to demonstrate institutions' performance against the Principles. The IAPR will be in1portant in fulfilling this new requirement. Further information will be communicated in the IAPR Guidelines for 2015/16.
