Congratulations to Dr. David Tabachnick and Dr. Toivo Koivukoski, whose book On Oligarchy: Ancient Lessons for Global Politics (University of Toronto Press, 2011) received a Choice Outstanding Academic Title award.

A contingent from Nipissing’s Nordic Varsity Ski team spent the last half of their holiday break in Thunder Bay, competing in their first races of the season. A trio of Lakers put in personal best results against the strongest Nordic racers in the country at the Lappe Ski Center with qualifications for the upcoming World Championships, U23 and World Junior Championships in Liberec, Czech Republic, on the line.
