You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.195.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 09:46, 11 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Vermilion Agricultural and Vocational College, Vermilion, Alberta (1970).jpg|thumb|right|Vermilion Agricultural and Vocational College, 1970]]

'''Lakeland College''' is a post-secondary college in [[Alberta, Canada]]. It is publicly funded, and maintains two campuses in [[Vermilion, Alberta|Vermilion]] and [[Lloydminster, Alberta|Lloydminster]]. Lakeland serves over 7,000 students through the academic year with 2,223<ref name="lakelandcollege.ca"/> studying full- and part-time.<ref>((cite news |url=http://www.lloydminstersource.com/articles/article/2015-09-01-enrolment-breakdown-at-lakeland-college |title=Enrolment breakdown at Lakeland College|date=September 1, 2015|first=Alex|last=Chippin |publisher=Lloydminster Source |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151118200023/http://www.lloydminstersource.com/articles/article/2015-09-01-enrolment-breakdown-at-lakeland-college |archive-date=November 18, 2015))</ref>

Canada's only inter-provincial college, Lakeland College serves both [[Alberta]] and [[Saskatchewan]] residents, following a partnership agreement between the governments of the two provinces in 1975.<ref>((cite web |title=Lakeland College |url=https://www.studyincanada.com/Schools/Profile/College/clake01/Lakeland-College |website=StudyinCanada.com |access-date=April 12, 2019))</ref> The city of [[Lloydminster]] straddles both sides of the Alberta-Saskatchewan provincial border. Lakeland College is a member of [[Colleges and Institutes Canada]] (CICAN) and the [[Alberta Rural Development Network]].

==Student-managed farm==
Lakeland College hosts one of only a half dozen student-managed working farms in Canada, and is one of the largest in North America.<ref>Association of Canadian Community College, Agriculture Learners Study Project (Winter 2003)</ref> There are two components—crops and livestock. Note: There are several farming for credit operations at institutions throughout North America, however most are in the one to 15 ac range.<ref>[http://www.rodaleinstitute.org/fffc_directory Farming for Credit Directory]</ref>

Lakeland College's Student-Managed Farm powered by New Holland<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.lakelandcollege.ca/about-lakeland/news/news09061101.aspx|title=New Holland Partnership Announced - Lakeland College|website=www.lakelandcollege.ca))</ref> includes both crops and livestock.

Students in the crop technology program use the student managed farm (SMF) to hone modern grain farming skills such as machinery operation, grain, oilseed and specialty crop marketing, management of farm finance and operation and utilization of GPS and GIS technology. Students enrolled in Crop Technology actively participate in harvesting the crop on the ((convert|2,300|acre|ha|0|adj=on)) farm. During the fall and winter, students market, harvest and plan the crops to be seeded in spring.

The Animal Science SMF started in the 2008–09 academic year. Students choose from purebred beef, commercial beef, dairy, sheep and research units.

==History==
In 1908, the Vermilion Board of Trade lobbied the provincial government for a demonstration farm.  In 1911, the provincial government purchased land near seven Alberta communities<ref>Alberta's School of Agriculture: A Brief History by E.B. Swindlehurst, 1964</ref> including just west of the Vermilion townsite. The Vermilion farm became the Vermilion School of Agriculture (VSA) in 1913. On November 17, 1913, VSA was the first of three agricultural colleges to be opened that year.<ref>((Cite web |date=2022-04-25 |title=History |url=https://www.lakelandcollege.ca/en/about/history.aspx |access-date=2023-01-17 |website=www.lakelandcollege.ca |language=en))</ref> The other schools were in Olds and Claresholm.

The first class had 34 students, all male. By March, home economics courses had been added and female students also came to VSA.

During the [[Spanish flu|1918 influenza pandemic]] the college suspended classes and was used as a makeshift hospital.<ref name=":0">((Cite news|url=https://www.albertafarmexpress.ca/2013/03/20/lakeland-college-marks-100-years-2/|title=Lakeland College marks 100 years|last=Kienien|first=Alexis|date=March 20, 2013|work=Alberta Farmer Express|access-date=June 20, 2019))</ref>

College classes were moved to Olds during the [[World War II|Second World War]], with the campus being used as a training center for the [[Canadian Women's Army Corps]].<ref name=":0" />

In the 1960s with the rise in vocational training, the college's name was changed to Vermilion Agricultural and Vocational College. It changed again to simply Vermilion College. When both the Alberta and Saskatchewan governments begin promoting regional facilities, Vermilion College became Lakeland College in 1975. It was established as Canada's first, and to date only, interprovincial college with regional campuses in eastern Alberta and western Saskatchewan. Today only the Vermilion and Lloydminster campuses remain.

Lakeland College Emergency Training Centre (formerly the Alberta Fire Training School and then fire etc.) is located adjacent to the Vermilion campus. The facility originally opened in 1959 as the Fire Officers Training School.

==Programs==
Although established to provide agricultural training, Lakeland has branched out beyond agriculture while maintaining those roots. Today Lakeland students take agricultural sciences, business, environmental sciences, fire and emergency services, health and wellness, human services, interior design technology, apprenticeship and pre-employment trades training, street rod technologies and university transfer.

Students in the interior design technology program have won numerous national and international student design contests. To date it is the only Canadian program endorsed by the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA). The program has also been recognized with Excellence in Education Awards from the NKBA.

Its Appraisals and Assessment program is one of only three colleges and universities licensed in Canada to teach real property assessment (the program licensor is the [[University of British Columbia]]). Students receive a certificate in Real Property Assessment from the University of British Columbia.<ref>Lakeland College Academic Calendar</ref>

Fire and emergency training programs draw students from across Canada as well as other countries. The Emergency Training Centre offers pre-professional, municipal and corporate training in fire, pre-hospital and other emergency response programs. The emergency services technologist program is the only one of its kind in Canada. Students train in both fire and emergency medical response, then specialize in one of those disciplines.

==Scholarships and bursaries==
In 2013, during its centennial year, Lakeland gave out more than $1 million in awards, scholarships and bursaries to its students.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.lakelandcollege.ca/about-lakeland/news/news06141301.aspx|title=Awards top $1 million |website=www.lakelandcollege.ca))</ref>

The college joined Project Hero, a scholarship program cofounded by retired General [[Rick Hillier]] for the families of fallen [[Canadian Forces]] members.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.accc.ca/english/services/cdnforces/hero.htm |title=Programs and Services - Canadian Forces (CF) College Opportunities Programme |access-date=20 February 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100113181437/http://www.accc.ca/english/services/cdnforces/hero.htm |archive-date=13 January 2010 )) Project Hero</ref>

The Government of Canada sponsors an Aboriginal Bursaries Search Tool that lists over 680 scholarships, bursaries and other incentives offered by governments, universities and industry to support Aboriginal post-secondary participation. Lakeland College scholarships for [[Aboriginal peoples in Canada|Aboriginal]], [[First Nations in Canada|First Nations]] and [[Métis]] students include TransAlta Aboriginal Educational Awards.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/eng/1351185180120/1351685455328|title=Aboriginal Bursaries Search Tool|first=Government of Canada; Indigenous and Northern Affairs|last=Canada|website=www.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca|date=25 May 2021 ))</ref> A new bursary program for Aboriginal students established by the Crown Investments Corporation of Saskatchewan and Lakeland College is now available at Lakeland College. Up to 20 new bursaries (each $5,000 annually) will be awarded to qualifying Saskatchewan Aboriginal students (Indian, Inuit and Métis) enrolled as full-time students in Lakeland College programs beginning in fall 2010.<ref>Lakeland College Annual Report 2009-10</ref>

==Buildings and features==
Both campuses have recreation facilities (including an aquatic centre in Vermilion), libraries and theatres. The Vic Juba Community Theatre is located at the Lloydminster campus. Alumni Hall Theatre is at the Vermilion campus.

Alumni House is an original structure still in use on the Vermilion campus. First a home for the demonstration farm manager it has been the president's home and the officers' mess for the Canadian Women's Army Corps during the Second World War. It also housed the alumni office for four decades. The historic building is a bed and breakfast facility open to the public.

The Lloydminster campus was officially opened in 1990. Previously the college used other buildings in different locations around the city for training. The initial campus building also included a residence village that housed workers building the Husky Heavy Oil Upgrader before it became a home away from home for college students.

==Applied research==
As a demonstration farm from its beginnings, the college has always had an element of applied research. This was revived in a big way in 2010 with the award of a $2.3 million grant from the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada's College and Community Innovation Program.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/NSERC-CRSNG/ProgramNewsDetails-NouvellesDesProgrammesDetails_eng.asp?ID=197|title=NSERC - Program News Details|publisher=Government of Canada, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, Communications Division|website=www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca|date=28 June 2016 ))</ref>

In 2013, Lakeland College was named one of the top 50 research colleges in Canada in an inaugural list developed by Research Infosource Inc.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.researchinfosource.com/|title=Research Infosource Inc.|website=www.researchinfosource.com))</ref>

==Athletics==
The Lakeland College Rustlers compete in the [[Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference]] in basketball, curling, volleyball, soccer, futsal and cross country running.

The Rustlers rodeo team is part of the Canadian Intercollegiate Rodeo Association.

The rowing crew competes against post-secondary institutions in Western Canada. In 2013, the women's novice eight crew repeated as gold medalists at the Western Canadian University Rowing Championships.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.lakelandcollege.ca/rustlers/News_Releases/news10221301.aspx|title=Golden Novice 8 2013|website=www.lakelandcollege.ca))</ref>

In 2013, Lakeland College hosted its first Canadian Collegiate Athletics Association championships. The women's volleyball championships were presented by Viterra and held on the Lloydminster campus from March 7–9, 2013. Lakeland College earned its first national medal, a silver, while the gold went to Fraser Valley Cascades (PACWEST).<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.ccaa.ca/sports/wvball/history/index |title=Women's Volleyball History |publisher=Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association|access-date=April 12, 2019))</ref>

In 2017 the women's volleyball team made history again by winning national gold after the provincial championship. They added their third national medal, a bronze, in 2018.
